When is Prince going to release a new album? Growing impatient!

i dont think he's releasing a record this year

he did cause n effect and it got such a bad response im betting he shelved the whole record

prolly the remasters we've all been waiting for or posibly crystal ball 2

You draw a lot of assumptions based on no facts.

Janelle Monet (or whatever her name is) said she was at Paisley Park just the other day, heard new music, and Prince is going to put out some new stuff. So that deflates the not releasing theory. I would bet by the fall we have, or know of, a new album coming out.

He doesn't care about bad response to ONE song. How much have people poo poo'd his music in the past 10 years, or his career, yet he still releases albums on his own accord, own time, and own will.

There will never be a Crystal Ball 2. The best thing we have is the unofficial Box of Chocolates that just came out.

actually, she didn't say it was going to be released. said she can't wait for it to be. and how are we (or is she) to know that what she was listening to was actually new? hell, he could have been playing her MPLSound and she probably would have been none the wiser whether it was something that was out or coming out if she doesn't own it.

I'm growing impatient for a good album...

Yeah, it shows he's working on new material that will eventually be released; and of course he doesn't care a rat's fury ass about people's opinions about one song or several songs. Will it be any good? There is too much good music in his past to ever count him out. Perhaps it won't be brilliant, but it might be good.

We are so spoiled ... Nuff said ...

He could have also played her "Rubber Duckie". Doesn't make it true because it "could" have happened.

don't call someone out on making assumptions without facts when your own "facts" are speculation and interpretation.

Don't hold your breath. I hear he's working on Purple & Gold: The New Master.

There's ALWAYS a new album in the can, people.

A different thing is whether he is going to release it or not.

My opinion is that if he's thinking of releasing anything similar to Musicology, 3121, Planet Earth or Lotus/MPls he can keep it for himself.

I'm ready for some new music!!!! When he is..... This is a guy that takes hours to warm up for a performance and rarely if ever starts on time because of it. and away we go!!!!

ok well maybe prince will drop something and prove me wrong but i am pretty much sure i heard that he wanted feedback about more songs recorded with cause n effect as to if he should release them and pretty resoundingly everyone thought cause n effect sucked so i think its fair to conclude not worth releasing ... specially with everyone already bitchin bout the websites ..
i also conclude that this is the time of year he usually has something to put out one way or another and we havent heard a peep ... as in the single was not a promo for a new record coming out such n sucha date ...

and i think he is no dummy and wants to take a little time with the next one ... i am thinkin next year around this time .. u just dont wanna wait cuz ur spoilt like rotten milk ... but i predict maybe some cool repackaging remastered kinda thing is in the works .. i mean all day all nite and girl out of the blue ... minimal touring .. hes been listening or remembering some of those old tunes for some reason ... hmmmmm

the fact is with all the abuse he puts up with from his whiney fan base he still pretty good to us all. i am sure something is coming out but i dont think its gonna be new music .. maybe live maybe old outtakes

i'd like to hear each album filled out with the b sides and dance mixes
he could put out a 500 dollar box set with like bonus cds for each release plus the release remastered with b sides and outtakes .. a live show ... shit make that a thousand just for the warner bros years ... i'd be tempted ...or just do each release separate as like 3cd deluxe ... that would be the ultimate revenge on wb if he put out a series of remaster tripple cds and each one outsold the original single disk release ... crystal ball could be 9 cds

and also been diggin that girl 12 inch lately ... its kinda lame but i kinda like it

Maybe this summer. I hope he release a new album this year. Sure his latest 2 songs was bad but I still want new music from him. And of course I hope that he tour. But something holds him back. Pain? Age? Whatever please do at least a last world tour Prince if u can
