How do you know there is no information about a new album?

Unless you have a copy of Ebony and know something i don't, in which case i apologize.

The bold part.

The ebony magazine cover/photo is very beautiful with a very nice message.

There is an "open door" with a heavenly light passing through it...like a clean slate to eternity.

You just have to look past the obvious to get to the other side of your eyes. Look within the orb...*wink*. You never know, who has been looking at you already.

Take care,

he looks mad

The H on his chest and the chair which is in an O shape. Does Prince put out messages like that is it just a conicidence? Go easy on me.

those photos are horrible. The make up and the photoshop are not necessary.

That red hoop looks like the top part of the Prince symbol. Can't really tell because it's only half of a pic, but that's what it looks like he is standing in front of in that pic.

Fruit Loops have jacked the thread, but it has nothing to do with Prince's picture.

True. But it does look like he is possibly standing in front of a fixture that may be the symbol in that pic.

Could be, but I can't read any more...my brain is about to explode from all the pseudo-poetic swill, so I gotta get out of here.

This will be exactly the same kiss-ass crap as we've read before, and not a critical word will be uttered.

Good god, give it a fucking rest, it's an INTERVIEW in Ebony magazine, not a hit piece.

You gotta love the indoctrination of the US public: asking critical questions = hit piece.

Because everything is hunky dory. I mean, it's not like his latest website was a massive failure. Or that his recent music is so bad even Prince can't be arsed to promote it.

Just wondering where in the world you are databank?

Ebony is available internationaly, so unless you are living on some remote island, it should not be too difficult to pick up.

Hope you can get one somewhere.

I'm in France. Newspaper shops don't have US magazines in English in France, except for some train stations, airports and specialized shops (most of them in Paris and i'm not living in Paris). So YEAH i guess if i looked very hard for a copy i'd find one, but dammit i just have better things to do than roaming all around town to MAYBE find it!

Dude, we're on the internet. Ever heard of online shops? Ebay?

Ebony has done this before with the Mayte article, all yall forgot already

They will get plenty of emails about Prince not liking black women, just like Lenny did, Prince = Self Hate

So no one has said whether they picked up the magazine or not. The site says it's on news stands now. Does anyone have it?

One news stand here says try friday which is tommorow, Another one says next tuesday.

U are so wrong for doin that. R u trying to say that Tavis is gay?Most of u want someone that is a fan to interview him. Why not him. He loves Prince & they are very very very good friends & very close. Plus Prince invited him over his mansion here in La when he was living here.

I will definitely be getting a copy!

Like I said, IT'S EBONY MAGAZINE, which is a cultural/pop type of mag, it's not Newsweek.

As usual though, you throw out the red herrings...

Now defunct UK monthly The Face was also about music, style, culture,... Didn't stop them from publishing interesting, critical interviews and articles. They also interviewed Prince during his two-day Emancipation blab-fest at Paisley Park in 1996, for the same amount of time as dozens of other mags, yet somehow they managed to see right through Prince's PR-speak and printed an awe-inspiring article (in January 1997, IIRC).

Then again, this is Ebony, a magazine that AFAIK never published anything noteworthy. So of course they get to interview Prince. (Weren't they the mag that sent a young, inexperienced female intern to interview Prince a couple of years ago, because Prince demanded he'd only be interviewed by a young black woman?)

Oh yeah, and Newsweek was the magazine that Prince talked to for Lotusflow3r -- didn't see much critical notes there either.

There once was a time when magazines weren't afraid of their celebrity subjects -- before Tina Brown's reign at Vanity Fair ruined this.

unseen pictures maybe with Bria and him together. So happily in love ?

Prince: "Bria is pregnant!" OH NO!

Prince: "We want to marry this year!" OH NO!

Prince: "We're just very good friends!" OH YEAH!

You are the only one interested in knowing. You seem to have a crush on Bri Bri

Im disappointed there isnt any leads as to him releasing a new album. All the ruckus of rumours about a new album yet no mention of a new project? Maybe there isnt one at all? Hmmm

Yeah, kind of. I always wanted her to perform her

damn songs live with Prince or band because I was thinking

she is his protogé and WANT to make music!

Then I had the idea of Bria is "just" his girl an she is

happy without the singing what now seems to be the right

thought!

Now I'm hoping I don't get into trouble for this but I believe the interview covers Prince's new attitude to life now he is in his fifties -

showing his OUTRAGE at UK chocolate makers Cadburys selling to new owners - "They have sold their souls, they better not be messing with my Dairy Milk or Lord help them, my Twirl. They would see an angry Prince"

REVEALING he already has a new web presence but that he isn't going to reveal the address to fans, media or even the web developers which may lead to difficulties

ANNOUNCING he has recorded a new double album including a vault duet previously recorded with Michael Jackson - "I have played the album to my close friends and even my critics and they say it is by far, the best thing I have ever done. Naturally, I won't be releasing it, it's back to the vaults. You cannot hear it, you wouldn't enjoy it on as many levels as me. In fact, I will have it on my iPod none stop, you've got Purple and Gold, what more do you want?"

that his new album that will see the light of day whilst bound to be panned by so-called fans will be RELEASED free with boxes of Corn Flakes. "Cereal is the new media. I look at corn flakes and see funk." The CD will be in a little plastic bag alongside a toy of poor quality.
