Drfunkenberry:Jam Of The Week: “Screwdriver” By PRINCE; Going For Radio Ads Next Week Mods, I posted this here before posting it in the 'Screwdriver' sticky thread, because it included other info as well, but if you feel the need to close this one, then it's understandable.
Jam Of The Week: “Screwdriver” By PRINCE; Going For Radio Ads Next WeekOur Jam Of The Week is "Screwdriver" by PRINCE featuring Hannah Ford, Donna Grantis, and Ida Neilsen. The song will be going for ads on radio overseas as Purple Music will be distributing the single there.
Purple Music will let us know the release date and formats (picture disc) but advised it will be soon. Check out their fan page on Facebook.
"Screwdriver" debuted on PRINCE's new web site earlier this week with much fanfare. The web site 20PR1NC3.com debuted with an announcement by Billboard Magazine. It has been a busy month for the music legend as several songs and videos of his have been put out by a twitter account with the handle of 3rdEyeGirl including "Chapter & Verse" which is a sound board recording from PRINCE's 6 sold out shows at the Dakota Jazz Club in his hometown of Minnesota.
If January is any indication of what 2013 has in store for PRINCE (Pr1NC3) fans, then it is going to be BIG! Along with the new web site and the Billboard cover, PRINCE will be receiving the Icon Award at this Year's Billboard Awards May 19th and will be attending a tribute in his honor at Carnegie Hall in March which is being put together by Questlove of The Roots.
"Screwdriver" is a rock number that we cannot wait to hear live. It is great that it will be getting played on radio stations overseas and getting a release over there. Here is hoping that a US distributor will step up to the plate soon that would enable the song to get radio play and a proper release out here. Along with those hopes, why do I envision him going on "Late Night With Jimmy Fallon" soon and ripping this song to shreds right in front of Questlove? Oh well. A Doc can dream. Thank you Jamie for the updated cover. Enjoy the Jam Of The Week, PRINCE's "Screwdriver"!!!-DocFB Diagnosis: Dance Lala..... Follow Purple Music On Twitter Follow Dr. Funkenberry On Twitter
