'4Ever' released as radio single in France

'4Ever' from the 2009 Album Lotusflow3r is officially released as radio single today in France.

Source: http://musique.jeuxactu.c...3-7722.htm

Spotted @ PurpleKiss2.0

PS: Can someone maybe translate the article? Thanx in advance.

Translation:

Prince: a single radio to save his Stade de France?(MP3)

Prince has just sent the title "4Ever" as his single to radio.This is his first official single for two years.The star of Minneapolis for many years has chosen to operate outside the media.

No interview or traditional distribution, or singles. Yet two weeks before the Stade de France (June 30, 2011) show, Prince is concerned he does not display complete?

The 80,000 seats will they be met? This would explain the single " 4Ever "can no longer be drawn from pop and radio LotusFlower.

Unless Prince is decided this summer to become the champion of the charts. 20Ten , the last studio album as of Prince , was not distributed in stores and was sold in France through the magazine Courrier International . What do you think of the new single?

It's a literal translation so doesn't all make sense but you get the gist of it. They are implying that it's to promote the Stade de France show. Which makes sense. But the implication that Prince won't fill out the venue is speculative unless they know how many tickets have been sold at this point.

Anyway, 4ever is a strange choice but it's cool. Wonder if they'll be any new mixes.

My cousin says the song reminds him of "Jack and Diane" lol.... similar chord progression.

Although I really like this song when most others hated it I do find it an odd choice to release as a single two years after the CD was released...but ya just never know with P
The greatest live performer of our times was is and always will be Prince.

Hopefully it's actually performed, preferably in a piano medley.

If you pay a radio plugger to get mass radio play of a song that would otherwise be unknown outside of the fanbase that buys your albums, then yes... that's a single in this day and age.

Ahh, I see. I guess when I learned that there was no physical release, I was like, well, how can that be a single?..hehe.

There may well be a promo cd available though. Maybe.

Out of all of the songs on Lotusflow3r he chose 4Ever? I don't understand why he would use this as a single? Prince does this all the time..lol.

It really is getting worse.

As the date approaches I really do have the feeling the SDF idea is the worst ever.

Glad I'll be at Roger Waters at Bercy that evening.

Bizarre and pointless choice for a single. If they were gonna pick anything, then it should've either been something from the most recent album 20TEN, or something new.

That's the only positive thing about this news.....

Prince finally admits 20TEN really sucks.

I always loved 4ever...great song...

Perhaps it will bring a little bit attention to his concert in Paris...

But only if some station are playing it;)

There is a lot of speculation about the ticket sales for the stade de france concert.

Some say 25000, some up to 40 000 tickets sold...nothing official.

It was a bad idea for him to do a stadium gig, imo.

Prince is not an act for big stadiums like that...

It seems he wanted to prove something again or taking a big risk again...

Thats the way he works..sometimes it works well, sometimes not...wink...

For me is not a flop at all, even if he only attracs 30 000 people...

But two or three sold out gigs at bercy would have been much fan friendly and considered as a success...

Or rather, he already proposed, and welcomed her to America, and now he is fetching her hosting a nice purple fest to celebrate and re- leasing this romantic song to set the atmosphere just right...

Bad choice to give to radio. A rather mediocre song that will probably make very little difference.

Yes it's pointless, but there is some logic to it, if it's going to be done at all. 20TEN isn't available to purchase in France. LotusFlow3r is. Might as well promote the one that people can actually buy, if you're going to promote at all.

If eye never get 2 hold ur hands

If eye never get 2 b ur man

That's ok cuz eye've got other plans

Right now, right now

If eye never get 2 kiss ur lips

If eye never get 2 feel ur hips

Close 2 me

That's ok eye ain't gonna trip

Not now no how

Cuz eye got 4ever

4ever

Eternity is just one kiss away

So they say

The opera, Jill Scott or the fair

Cyprus, if eye never get 2 take you swimming there

If you never know how much eye care

Eye swear

you know what

It's not fair, no

If eye never get 2 make you laugh

If we never get 2 take a bubble bath

see, Eye don't wanna part with you

Not 2night

If you gonna b a part of my past

Eye just want, Eye just want

listen

Eye just want 4ever

Eye just want 4ever

Eternity is just one kiss away

what you say?

4ever

So many things

We can do in the new world

Eye can b ur future Lover

U can b my future girl

If eye never get 2 c ur smile

Underneath the white veil

Walkin' up the aisle

Eye just might go crazy

Eye might go wild

so let me tell you, Baby

stop lookin at me like that

Unless you want me 2 bite that

4ever

hear what I'm talking about

4ever

Eternity is just one kiss away

A million 2morrows

Is better than one day

no, not to do it

4ever

no, I don't want to kiss your lips

'til I get to ump your hips

Mmmmmm! Thanks for this wonderful heartbeat of a response hug

Prince being the Life and Energy of the game can only play it

from where he is sincerely feeling it. Otherwise, his truth becomes undermined

and loses its essence of pureness. It can't be faked, misappropriated or disguised

by wily deception. That place of veracity exists only within the pureness of one's heart.

It is there where God truly resides! heart

4ever is a place reserved for Lovers who deeply want the magic to last for

an Almighty long time! love

4ver, My Love

4ver

4ever being not just for one night

but until our spirits from our bodies do take flight

and even then

even then, it will be all right

we'll still be kept within each other's sight

cos' we have got 4ever...
