No.

Ask Prince.

Or Shelbey. Whatever happened to her anyway?

Keep checking Lotusflower web site. I'm sure the info will go up there 1st before any other source gets it.

She's out buying new capes and snapping up Aretha's hat rejects.

This one was FIERCE:

I agree. I did like that one. I just remember her early on with those stupid capes and hats. I felt a tad embarrassed during the Super Bowl press conference the way she was dressed, as well as the performance. Just seemed....odd. And not in the cool "Prince's people are eclectic" way.

I remember when Catpark,Unique and myself were front row at an O2 aftershow party and Shelbey's big gold bangle fell of her wrist and nearly knocked out Catpark.
Shelbey bent down and spoke to her and gave her the bangle to keep.
im not exactly sure what she said to her lol.

The next project Prince will be behind for a minute(and then grow tired of) will be Shelby J's Black Gypsy album. http://blackgypsy.com/

Or, it'll be part of a 2 or 3 CD set hocked at JoAnn's Fabrics or Burlington Coat Factory.

That's Shelby, not Shelbey.

Wait, News is an old prince album.

What about the talk we heard awhile ago about Prince working with Anita Baker?

squirrelgrease said:

This is not the material on which Shelby worked with Prince; the Black Gypsy project has no Prince involvement and was recorded with another band. However, we can expect the Shelby/Prince collaboration to drop later in 2010.

I hope he´s busy remastering his old albums right now...

It's funny because i suspected that "In a large room..." might be the start of some kind of project like that so if this rumor is true, maybe i was thinking right. It would be great anyway!

Admitting that the next thing is a series of updated outtakes and side-projects songs from the 80's, wouldn't it be GREAT if Lotusflow3rs members were allowed access to the original versions? There could even be a funny "Prince then vs. Prince now" contest with members having to vote for their facvorite version of each song to see if the new versions are more popular than the new ones.

That ain't never gonna happen, vote against the current Prince, we all know that it would be a wipeout as to which versions would be best.

Ha ha, yeah i guess so, even though in my case "No Light" 2009 would definitely win over "No Light" 1986, no matter how much i love the original ^^ Prince once wrote that his only competition is himself in the past, and with nice, sophisticated jazz arrangements i'm sure he could blow his past self

But still even without the vote it would be a nice trip back in time (and a well deverved bonus for us frustrated paying members) to have both the "original" and the "new" album released back to back.

I would love a project in the vein of the remake of Large Room and the reworking of Somewhere Here On Earth from Leno. I know I'm in the minority on this board about my digging of Prince's jazzy direction, but this could be a great collection of songs to my ears.

when it licked me in my head i had to recover for a hot sec and come to my senses, then I said to shelby give me that bangle! i know prince paid for that gold on ya bitch! and she said girl i will fight u hard! so then i grabbed it outta her hand...but she had to carry on coz prince was busting out tunes left right and centre for her to sing, coz she knew bills need to be paid and a new hats need to be bought etc she handed it over that bangle to me super fast!

Maybe his next cd will have something to do with MoonBeams. Sure would fit the website.
