Prince writing a new song with Esperanza Spalding and Chris Turner Just saw funkenberry tweeting Chris Turner. It appears Turner wrote a song with Esperanza Spalding and Prince last night.

Yes did that, but am really none the wiser other than he toured with Esperanza last year and is a jazz performer You know you are in love, when you cannot fall asleep because your reality is finally better than your dreams - Dr Seuss | |

Prince is on Janelle Monae's album in September, co-wrote a song with Esperanza Spalding, maybe D'Angelo is the next artist P collaborates with. Since Prince has hired a manager, he has been more open to working with challenging artists outside of his camp. Hope he keeps at it. 3121 #1 THIS YEAR |

Seems like CT's way of saying "Yes", but not.  | |

Everytime someone works with Prince I can't help but wonder who ends up owning the master tape. Will Esperanza Spalding and Chris Turner defer to Prince's peculiarities just for the benefit of claiming they worked with an 80's legend? Was their contribution work for hire? Or maybe Prince worked for free, knowing his jazz resume could use some additional credibility? Does collaborating with Prince neccesitate that anyone change their name in order to avoid any conflicts down the road should Prince feel Esperanza and Chris are no longer entitled to contiue their careers, now that he has written songs for them? I would expect Esperanza has her own team that will protect her interests from Prince's predatory ways (see The Time, Revolution and The Family), but still...so many questions... | |
