Clouds has a nice, funky beat. And some tasty bass. I think this is the one that made Nik do the funk face.

It's 'Mr. Goodnight' from Planet Earth with some Beautiful, Loved, & Blessed thrown in the mix.

I'm pretty pumped about this. But will be even more so if they release these on vinyl.

So the incredible part is: it's 2014 and I just ordered two Prince CDs on a WARNER BROTHERS web site.

The credible part is: it's not a smooth ride. No 15% discount, orders on "pending". The way I read the latter part, btw, is that they need to clear my (bona fide) credit card...

Prince Set to Release First Solo Album in Four Years

By Ashley Lee, The Hollywood Reporter | August 25, 2014 10:52 AM EDT

The musician's full-length album with 3rd Eye Girl will drop on the same day.

Prince is back.

The musician announced Monday morning that he will release his first solo album in four years, entitled Art Official Age, out Sept. 30.

The news was delivered via 3rd Eye Girl, who also noted that the funk 'n' roll band will release a full-length album, Plectrum Electrum, on Sept. 30 as well.

Both albums are currently available for presale online.

The all-female ensemble -- American drummer Hannah Ford, Canadian guitarist Donna Grantis and Danish bassist Ida Nielsen -- made the announcement when they stopped by Good Morning America (below_ on Monday, also previewing Prince's new song "Clouds."

While Prince has not released a full-length album since 2010, the singer did record a duet with Zooey Deschanel in March and premiered the track on the post-Super Bowl episode of New Girl.

He has been touring with 3rd Eye Girl in Europe.

Frankly, if you're not excited about two new albums from Prince, when it's been 4 years since his last one, you don't belong on this site. I'm ecstatic! And "Clouds" is absolutely killer.

You're excited about it. That's wonderful. I'm not excited about it. I think it's just more of the same ol' same ol' Prince by numbers crap that I didn't like 4 years ago. But saying I "don't belong on this site" because of that is really not your place, is it?



Please stay here...i am also not very excited bout it...good to hear i am not the only one....nothing new... nothing surprising..i think to get .a better version of mpls and aweaker version of lotusflower... After 4 years thats nothing to cheer for

Prince releases two albums on 30th September 2014.


OMFG this is sooooo cooool :D

I'm currently waiting at the gate on JFK for my connecting flight to Canada and 3 hours ago I was at Times Square for a last short visit to say goodbye, when suddenly out of the blue the GIANT screens above me showed the o(+> logo and I was like WTF?????

Then the new album cover and release announcement followed and I went... party
My wife took around 300 fotos of me partying with the giant screens behind, now THAT was the perfect way to end the most exciting NY trip (a trip that btw included a Krush Groove reunion old school show at the BB King grill with Kurtis Blow Doug E fresh melle Mel grandmaster caz mc Shan rob base even ice t and DOZEN of others... Awesome)

I'm on cloud nine after this vacation biggrin
Vanglorious... this is protected by the red, the black, and the green. With a key... sissy!

Why not wait till you have heard both new albums and not just one new song. Then you can say if you like it or not , peace.

$14.99 for shipping both CDs to Canada?

F%& YOU Prince and the horse you rode in on.

Guess I'll illegally download it instead.

I've found in the past when Prince released
singles that they became available on itunes
first and Amazon followed within 24 hours.
Maybe he has some deal with itunes. I'm sure it
will be available on Amazon soon. Thats what I'm
waiting for. That way the digital versions go to
my kindle.

Maybe it'll be one of the 3 download singles shown on the purchase page. I'm not sure how those will play out.

in itunes, each of the 2 albums has track times for about 4 songs, and not for the others,

this makes me think that those other songs that have track times on there will be put on

itunes as the other 'singles' a day or two before the release of the albums.

and true love lives on lollipops and crisps

Yes, because Prince is responsible for the shipping cost! If your cheap your just cheap.

You probably didn't think about this too much before posting did you? wink Why would you pay to import it when it'll available to you locally?

Excited for the albums. I think I'll probably enjoy the 3EG album a little more than the solo Prince album, but I think Clouds sounds pretty good.. It took me a few listens to warm to it though. For those that mentioned FIL2N I just played it back to back with Clouds and I think it would have been a great fit, but we don't know what the sound is of the rest of the album, so maybe it woudn't fit with everything else there. I think it makes sense that Groovy Potential not be included on the AOA album too because its a lot more organic and NPG sounding than what AOA seems to be about.

Change it one more time..

Whoever they got to do the PLEC cover should have been hired to do the AOA cover as well. I almost get the impression that his album covers are some kind of inside joke that only he knows about. 99% of his album covers after Come are like amature hour on photoshop.

Change it one more time..

Really looking forward to picking up these 2 cds when they drop in to a store. I've invested a lot in my hi-fi over the years (as well as the studio), so physical media is the only way to go for me smile

...we have only scratched the surface of what the mind can do...

My dance project;

Listen to any of my tracks in full, for free, here;

Go and glisten wink

The above suggests the Joshua Welton had a hand in the whole process, even writing (some of?) the songs. I only know of him as the husband of a 3EG member - is he any good? He isn't the Tony M of the 00s? wink

He has a really terrible, TERRIBLE song on YT: https://www.youtube.com/w...olsigjUplU

.

He also is responsible for the radio-friendly dance aspects of Fallinlove2nite, which he produced. I actually like the song a lot but I'm quite sure it'd have been better without him onboard.

.

But I'm not gonna judge the dude's skills on 2 songs, let's wait and see what he has to bring to the purple boat, maybe it'll be better than what I expect smile

Thanks for the link. I'd rather he teamed up with Tony M. on a solo project (Goldnigga 2, perhaps). Still, as you say, we may be pleasantly surprised by the end result.

U been bamboozled, hoodwinked, took.
