Misleading title. It doesn't state that'Prince' has a new album. Sounds to me like 3rdeyegirl have a new album....not P.

Same thing at the end of the day I guess.

New album, always cool to hear - honestly I think my excitement level is at an all-time low despite liking the 3rdeyegirl project overall. Damn I'm one jaded s.o.b.

Yeah, I'm a little suspicious, too... About whether this will be a Prince album or a protegee album pushed by Prince. There is a difference. Guess we'll have to wait and see...

I can't get too excited about this.

So far, the trax i have heard possibly off of it (Screw, LOL, FULU) have ranged from some of the most awful things i have ever heard from Paisley (LOL) to fairly decent (FULU).

This 3rdEye thing is a good idea, but i think the execution has been awful. It has minimal chance of fan success, nevermind public success.

At this moment, because it's been so long, i can only get fammy again over an all new, solo Prince effort.

Damn, i used to be super positive, but this new stuff is really bad.

However, i'll always be glad he's choosing to remain happy and active.

I just see interpretation.

Where have you been seriously?

It is no interpretation. It is official news from PP given to the Doc. News that has been retweeted by Donna Grantis and Hannah Ford btw.

Did they say:

`ALBUM WILL BE IN STORES SOON`?

or

'CD IS BEING PREPEARED'?

or anything like that?

I do not want the interpretations, let me do that for my self please.

Thanks.

I sort of wish that he would not release another super crappy album and just tour. He should retire from recording soon.

I'm hoping that Liathach will find a home on this album or as a b-side somewhere. The live version he did during the Dakota show was stunningly beautiful.

I think he calculates in the fact that it will be taped and printed by listeners

Finally.

Although I don't really like this 'FIXURLIFEUP', I adore the original 'Screwdriver', and also really dig the 'BOOMSTRATUS' and 'Let's Go Crazy Reloaded' rehearsals, I bet there's good stuff to hear.

I truly hope that 'LIVEOUTLOUD' is left off this album.

I wont be buying this- It does ZERO for me.. If i want the kind of Rock that they are trying to make, I'll listen to the real stuff, Hendrix & Led Zeppelin! Maybe they should have let Lenny Kravitz produce it to get at least the sounds rocking right.

I liked some of the new songs, hated others. The one i liked the most was Breakfast can wait, the least was this terrible Fix Ur Life Up. Wonder if these songs are going to be on the cd. 3rd eye... well, not impressed by that band.

I have some high expectations since I really liked 20Ten, thought it was his best pos-00 album alongside Lotusflower. (Most cohesive, good from begining to end, that is).

I have heard at least one song that was not terrible...Breakfast In Bed.

The rest is so awful.

So what songs could be on the new album?

At the moment, I can think of:

Plectrum Electrum

Screwdriver (remix version)

Rock and Roll Love Affair (remix version)

Breakfast Can Wait

Boyfriend

That Girl Thang

Liathach

Chapter and Verse

Same Page Different Book

Down

Ain't Goin Miss U

2 Young 2 Dare

U Will B (With me)

Check the Record - is this a new song or a recording of someone elses song

Does anyone think he would put on the different versions of these two?

Let's go Crazy

I Could Never Take the Place

I think I could never take the place could be a good one to actually release, in a way it reminds me of the sinead o'connor Nothing Compares

From what I heard it wouldn't be such a bad album, nothing revolutionary but not bad.

I so agree with you. This stuff is just noisy garbage.

And how do we REALLY know that Prince DOES NOT Record ANYMORE?

'Plectrum Electrum' look pretty newly recorded and performed. Hmmmmmmm.

here's an idea...

full length CD $10

full length CD + 2nd CD of rehearsal download tracks $15

full length CD + 2nd CD of rehearsal tracks + DVD of 3rd eye film $20

Looking for all these songs among so many sites where they've been shut down is irritating even for me, and Im a die-hard fan. I think the promotion tactics Prince's adopting really sucks and are NOT helping a good number of people, especially non-fans, to know his new music. He definately need to revise that, imo. People need to HEAR your music in the internet, Prince! What's so wrong with that? I remember I liked some of the songs above but it'll take eternity till I find them again to listen on the web.

Lana Del Rey's album was the FOURTH BEST SELLING ALBUM OF 2012. Sold 2,9 million copies worldwide, pretty good for today's standards. And she made her name and fame in the youtube. Prince has all the vibe and the rich career to atract new fans, many people know his music very little. I think he's missing a big chance with the internet.

what interpretations? It's in the OP, which quotes dr funkenberry

New music from the newly mixed FULL-LENGTH CD "PLECTRUM ELECTRUM" (working title) will be showcased all night long!

So there is a CD. A CD-R probably, or maybe even a mixed tape.

So what?

Is the track listing final? Is the mixing final?

Is he done with production?

How does he consider letting people hear this album? Either from a recording or playing stuff?

Is it testing out or playing it proudly?

I believe when there is a (retail) CD when a major label announces it (and even then..) or when I have the CD in my sweaty hands.

Sorry, but I've been there.

PLEASE let it be a real cd. You have to go to a library in Valdosta, Georgia. You have to find the Purple Computer, and go to 777dollars.com You have to click on a vanishing jellyfish at 8:09 PM, and complete an online scavenger hunt before the library closes. If you finish the chore, you have to pay $777, and then you get a coupon to enter a code at plectrumelectrum.com. If you get the code right, you can have the cd mailed to you. 3 months after you do all this, it will be given away free with the Daily Mirror, and will be at Best Buy.
