Im surprised that Dr. Funkenstein didn't have anything about this. I also wish thecurrent.org would enable us to click the song and play it or a snippet on demand..

George Clinton has a blog?

Sorry about that, but sometimes you have to put the orgbullies in their place.

Hey guys - we'll play the new song "Hot Summer" later today - definitely in 12 noon hour (Central US time), and probably again in afternoon.

It's been a wild few months getting to have conversations with Prince and hear and world debut new unreleased music, the first of which was "Cause and Effect" and now with "Hot Summer."

He's definitely back in Minneapolis, and from our conversation at Paisley Park a few weeks ago that not only included listening to and talking about his new music, but also about artists like Janelle Monae, Kings Go Forth, and Brother Ali - he's a Current listener and fan. He expressed a lot of respect for what we do and how passionate we are about music, and I think that's why he's been into sharing his new music with us to share with you.

Enjoy the new tune!

Praise Jehovah!! Can EVERY day be Prince's bday??

I'm being extremely considerate. Do not press your luck because I can very easily turn this into Make A Fam Cry day!

Thank you and I wish others would honor the day in some way also, the world was given a pretty special gift 52 years ago!

Heard the song a couple of times now and it's an okay song, nothing 2 special but I like it much better then the purple & gold.

I HAVE to say this. Waiting to hear the new track is like seeing your fave desert on the menu, however the starters and main courses are so amazing that by the time you get to order desert you're too damn full and totally satisfied. That is how this station is making me feel right now, the music it totally inspiring, original and cool, i'll pass on desert!.

But you know the rules on prince.org....

So, does this mean he is celebrating his birthday again?

Probably not but it's nice he acknowledged it. Especially with a song as fun as this one

Okay, the more I listen to it...the guys at The Current are on the mark with the Love Shack reference.

Actually, that's a good question. Let's ask the great Google.

Well how about that? Technically, he does!

You guys are playing amazing music. If your show is among Prince's favorites these days, that's great news... I wouldn't be mad at all if his future music outings reflect inspiration from your selections.
