& a 1 man band.......

I liked Lotus so if its close I'm happy

All I want is a little energy. A little passion. Show us that music still excites him, and he has new ideas. It's been automatic pilot for so long. But then again, he is getting old and maybe we have to settle for the Vegas vibe.

It should sound like nothing that POP radio is playing right now. Think Parade and how nothing on the radio sounded like that album at the time. Just as long as Prince feels the music and lets the energy flow through it , I'll be happy.

like an acid trip

Heavy bombasic funk of the npg 1993/95

i want it to sound pre 82 and a lil parade

so real drums, dirty synths, guitar and pure funk and some real horns

a mix of get it up, stick, head, party up, controversy, anotherloverinyohead, lady cab driver, lets work, i wonder u and a ballad like do me.

but much better:lol:

Hopefully good.

Well, this is the obvious answer.

But I'd like instrumental, or acoustic, or a rock album. His funk/dance has been stale for a long time now..

If he would just blatantly rip off PARADE, I'd be happy.

I want Andy Allo to rap about sesame street in the middle of all his songs.

...And if you wish REALLY hard Carrie, there's a good chance that one might come true.

And then I want him to only release the album in Finland and Russia, where you can get it for free with the purchase of a Filet 'o Fish at McDonalds.

...and I want her to find a way to incorporate the word "Bug-a-boo" in every verse.

...and LOTS of bongos.

I can tell that you and I see eye-to-eye on this one!

i want it to sound like hes not trying to fit into the 2012 music industry

Edgy

anyone else feel like prince is 100% capable of making an amazing album we'd love, but wont because hes going to try to make one like the whatevers mainstream? which he doesnt really fit into?

I'd like to see the percentage of the tracks that are practically identical cheesy ballads reduced from around 60% to approximately 0%.

Real music from real musicians, please.

He keeps banging on about it, but apart from bits of Lotu$flow£r, he's been synthing it all the way for years.

New Power Trio or John Blackwell on drums is a good place to start.

inspired....free and funky. keep to one theme and sound...not frantically all over the place

Get a good studio band and cut it live. Questlove on drums maybe. CeeLo producing. 5 takes and done. And lose all the old tricks - keyboard patches, gutiar sounds etc. Use new ones or *shock* none at all THAT would immediately make even the worst writing worth listening to.

Works for me

I'd love a live in studio album. I think most music now (not just Prince's) is overproduced. I'd like it to all be done live, with no overdubbing or anything.

Jazz

The closest in the list would be Paisley Funk, but....

I want him to use new sounds, not the Linn sounds, or hand claps.

I like it when he makes dark funk that doesn't sound like his 80's stuff (for example Pheremone).

I don't want generic R&B, or 70's retro (unless the melodies are exceptional), no electronica (I don't even know how you identify that... but I HATE "house")

No guest stars unless it's on instruments

I'd like a strange theme woven through.

and... professional art direction and some good videos!

That's one of the few tracks I actually like on COME.

Personally, I'm tired of how 'clean' his music sounds now. What I mean by that is not lyrical content, but just how everything sounds so ....neat... All the instruments are clear and crisp. The guitar solos sound so precise and crisp, etc.

I would love really crazy layred insanity...Just blow shit up...reverb tits and ass all over the place...make it sound like you recorded your album in a damned airport in the middle of a riot.

So you want to minimize Prince's input in the studio and have others in to cover up his bad writing? You just don't like Prince, do you?

Mplsound Revolution style of 1984 Psychedelic pop album Paisley funk circa 1986/87 Heavy bombastic funk of the npg 1993/95 Like a long lost Hendrix album Modern electronica thing Retro 1970's funk soul ala The Rainbow Children acoustic modern RnB vibe aiming for the charts. So tell me how you want it too sound and then how you think it will sound.

I'd like to hear a synthesis of The Rainbow Children, N.E.W.S., Xpectation and 3121 with some sprinkles of LoTUSFLOW3R ( not necessarily MPLSoUNDS but, that's cool too ).

All covers as this is the only way we will get a good album nowadays. His covers are usually the best songs on his albums since he started doing them
