for what it's worth I'm really liking what I've heard. Superconductor really does have that Controversy beat to it and the keys are up front and in your face - that 10 second clip gets me excited. Without a doubt will purchase this CD!!. Whatever P's motives are!, if the music if good then I'm there!.

I would be interested to know what do you think Prince's motives are?

What I don't get is....why is the production so much better on this sample than on on most recent P albums!!

Yes yes, good point!!!

my only issue is.....is she allowed to be who she is as an artist and we all know that could be a problem with Prince.

When an artist works with other producers and executive producers, they're working with them in part to escape their own limitations. I think with the protege issue a lot of us blame Prince for crafting these people into weaker female version's of him, but I think that's not really the full picture, when Tamar for example talked about the writing process with Prince she didn't say he scripted everything. She said he asked her to put herself out there and then he'd try to bring out the songs together. She talked about it as if he truly wanted her to take the lead in providing the substance of the songs from what I remember in a few interviews she did. I think he's probably done the same with Andy. With the completely talentless ones like Carmen or Vanity I think it would probably have been completely different. But if he sees that a person has talent I think he tries to open himself up to their creative input.

Hmm, fair point, lezama, fair point.

So, what happened to"Something FUNKY coming this week?" as it was announced? People are still asking where it was tho I realise this was 2 weeks ago.

Oh, that was the funk? Really

That's a great point!

I just wish that "AndWhy"'s vocals didn't affect me like my knuckles on a cheese-grater.

Prost!

Not yet! :)lol

Yeah U missed it, lucky U. I'll be so glad once this nightmare with hello and current NPG line up is over, with the former being totelly useless and I'm in ancitipation of the depth of the next album, as u can imagine.

Oui can funk, anybody?

It's okay, but nothing special to me... I'm hoping Prince wipes the cobwebs off his guitar in 2012.. Wish he'd do a more rock-oriented sound (for his album and hers)

It's okay, although I haven't heard many songs that I thought were good released after the 90's.

Prince is putting an exceptional amount of preparation into plans for this project.

In other words, it will never see the light of day.
