No joking guys: a French radio, Europe 1, has played part of a new song entitled Rich friends, and they stated it is part from a new Prince album entitled 20Ten Deluxe. Sorry, no further information.

I think the sample is making the rounds in the net as I type.

All props to the French forum, Schkopi, and its member Syl20, for the scoop.

Another member, kid, posted the link to listen the full broadcast:

The song starts at 13´50"

I'm not buying anything that means I have to buy the same 10 songs from 20Ten again, just to get some new songs.

Keep us posted, if you are able.

I added the link where you can download the full broadcast, to my first post.

I repeat all props go the the French forum, and of course to the French radio station Europe 1, which played the song. I have no additional information whatsoever.

Now I'm sure others can post further stuff if/when available.

My take is that the new album will be an updated edition of 20Ten including new songs, but this is merely speculative.

Thanks, it would have been nice if that dozy cunt was not yapping all through the song though.

Just listened to it and it does sounds great!

already it's the best track on the CD!!!!.

Seriously it HAS to be released on 20/10/10 [Oct 20th 2010 !!].

Thanks. love the sound. It sounds like the 90s Prince. The Graffiti Bridge era and it has that Willing and Able sound. Funk and falsetto..yes lawd...AOWAH!!! JB would say "Can I get a witness to the funk?") Love the falsetto voice in it.

" Who needs money when you got rich friends!" -- Prince (Doing the funk head bounce)

::crickets chirping::...Still waiting for the 20ten album in the U.S.

Normally I would agree but as I got 20ten for 65p I would buy it again.

I just hope this deluxe version doesn't contain remixes.

Another disc with another 10 songs would be great

As far as he sample goes from what I could hear it sounded pretty good.

Lets just hold our horses and wait and see if there IS going to be an album first

Didn't I tell you motherfuckers? LOL at the people that didn't believe me that there was a "20TEN Deluxe" coming out.

Guess you can eat crow!

Thanks for the tip! So there's definitely a new album on the way.

Must be otherwise why the track.

Merci beaucoup, Viva La France.

Since I didn't actually buy it the first time, I wouldn't mind.

This should be released on 10.10.10 as that's binary code for "funk".

For those of you that don't want to skip through the original file to hear the Prince part, the clip of just the song, is on my blog:

Especially if it maybe has, ya know, more than ONE new song included (one new song isn't really "deluxe" sounding). Hot Summer, Cause & Affect? But I agree, didn't buy it yet and I'd like to. So if it's released in the States, woohoo! Oh... and if he leaves off Everybody Loves Me, even better!

Whoa wasn't expecting new music off the man so quickly! Excellent news. when I'm online I must go back to moquake more, keep forgetting its there! Thanks Cateto for the info and link.

Or maybe include Act of God (Redux) with some lyrics that actually make sense.

Steve Jobs won't let me listen to this. What does it sound like?

It's about 20 seconds and it reminded me of a cross between the MPLSound album and Batdance, but with some lyrics about not being able to buy friends or sumfin'. Too little to judge, really.

WetDream said:

I hope it's mostly the dirty new sound he teased at the end of disc 1, instead of the 80s stuff. This sample sure sounds like it!

Hmm, maybe I should listen again. I definitely got the synth heavy MPLSound vibe.

I seriously thought this thread was a joke when I read the title...

It sounds ... odd . Like he read all the love for Laydown and tried to make another beat that sounded like it. Like the harsh electronic synth sound and the beat........ maybe trying too hard I'm thinking

That could just be some kind of intro though, it just doesn't sound very melodic to me. But regardless, it's dope that he's doing a deluxe edition of 20TEN with some new tracks
