WHAT IF: prince released his new album a song at a time as promo for live gigs

think about it.

what if he did what he did for montreux with "in a large room with no light"
over and over this year.

next song could be on the official website for the monaco venue etc etc etc.

i guess it would be throwing a mocking finger at the lotusflower subscribers
so i'm sure prince would love the idea, lol.

anyway, i would love this set up. but would you?

lol
and true love lives on lollipops and crisps

If it's an all killer, no filler 9 track LP, go nuts!

If it's a run of the mill pop/R&B affair, go fucks!

What if he farted purple unicorns every morning at sunrise?


But he didn't, so we're left with nothing but some one off shows and only 2 weeks notice.


I love you, though, IsensexyMf, really I do.

what don't you understand? he gave the montreux people a song for their site,
to promote the festival or his gig at the festival.

perhaps the song was part of the deal. this is prince we're talking about so,
i guess he got some money for that song in one way or another.

so imagine if he did a hit n run summer/autumn tour of europe, playing some
special venues or festivals and he would work out to give them all a song to
put on their websites. each gig/place he did, 1 new song.

the total of the songs, after the tour, something like 9 songs for example,
would constitute a full album. the sequencing of which is the order in which
the songs were 'released' on the various websites.

he could, fcuz, put 2 or 3 more tracks in the mix and sell it as such on his
own website.

but as a means of releasing an album, it would once again be something quite
novel and fun. and that's something prince seems to be interested in lately.
although, fcuz, he would have to be given $ for each individual track, from
each individual show/gig/venue/ cuz, you know, it's still PR$NCE

I like this idea.

track 1 would play into track 2 for a minute or so, then abruptly cut off.
you'd have to wait for the next download to get the rest of track 2 and half of track 3. when you've got all the downloads you can burn a cd and listen to it like lovesexy (untracked) or make your own track edits using the software of your choice.

it would keep the fams interested and anticipating the next track. For instance, how much interest did those vault snippets get recently, and they were only a minute long samples. if and when they finally drop peops will go nuts.

I even love Funkradio, and that's like 30seconds long!!!

Well I was reading a french website from Monaco and it says he's "thinking of releasing a 3rd album at the end of 2009", so if he continues to do small 1-2 day residences across europe then that might work.
Change it one more time..
