The album, released March 21, 2006 in North America , is distributed through Universal Records . Album information The album's first single, "Te Amo Corazón ", was released in the United States on December 13, 2005, and debuted at number twenty on the VH1 countdown; the second single, "Black Sweat ", was released on February 2, 2006. The title of the album was believed to be a reference to the address of Prince's rented Los Angeles mansion. A lawsuit filed against Prince by the landlord (NBA player Carlos Boozer ) indicates an entirely different address (1235 Sierra Alta Way). However, Prince has repeatedly referred to the property as "3121"; indeed, the lawsuit alleges he painted 3121 on the exterior of the property, and the album's liner notes indicate that it was "recorded at Paisley Park Studios and 3121." According to another explanation the album's title refers to a verse in the Bible (Psalms 31:21). "Blessed be Jehovah (God/Yahweh), For he has rendered wonderful loving-kindness to me in a city under stress." Prince made a reference to this during a performance of the title track on the 2006 BET Awards ; "Where's the real party at? Shake your tambourines! BET read Psalms; that's where it is." Album sessions started in November 2004 with the recording of the song "3121" with Michael Bland and Sonny T .
