This is definitely one of my favorite songs on AOA. It's been stuck in my head continually, in a good way. It's a gorgeous melody, great vibe, and beautiful vocals. And people here were saying he couldn't sing anymore. This fucking place...

This one definitely snuck up on me - it's replacing Time (which just goes on too long without enough variation) on my combined tracklist

Why not ? I told something, if I'm wrong, that wouldn't be honest. If I leave, this won't be the end of the world.

This bet is exciting, this would be interesting if Prince played something live of an album so dull and plastic.

I rather think he would play some tracks on PE, FNR, and SCREWDRIVER lol Maybe a hit or two.

And maybe there would be an instrumental set of joshua Welton (affirmation 3), but not sing by Prince.

Im not going to take the bet because I know deep down it would hurt you to leave the org in such a way. But I will still throw the Bye Bye emoticon in your face after the release party just to rub a bit of salt into the wounds.

Its a launch party for 2 albums. If he is going to play live, why would he not play songs from both albums? If Andy Allo is there Im sure he will play Time and/or This is What it Feels Like. Then there is the Breakdown, which he has played live before. Seriously, Im not taking the bet for your sake, not mine. You will be grateful in a couple of days (even if that egg on your face will be caked deep into your pores). biggrin

After all the bashing on me you still see I was right once again ! Prince didn't played any song on AOA, and I even predicted he will play only the songs, but that he was not going to sing on it. Why? Because he has contractual obligations, but AOA is utterly crappy.

You were supposed to leave the org now, but you didn't have the "bravery" and intellectual honesty to take the bet. I had this honesty.

It's obvious for anyone serious that Prince fucked WB with all this releases, and that he didn't care about.

Instead, and as usual, he made promotion for another upcoming album, NPGQ.

So please now leave me alone with your sarcasms, you will joke on me the day I will say something wrong.

You must feel very ridiculous now, with the post I'm quoting. flipped off

No, I dont feel silly at all. On the contrary, the event was still promotion of sorts, albeit somewhat strangely acted out. The simple truth remains that AOA is a strong album and should do well enough based on that alone.

Lets get one thing straight here. I have never said that Prince's business acumen was any good. If anyone can fuck up a good thing really well, then Prince is the man to do it. And I have blasted Prince in these forums for many years because of some of the dumb-shit decisions he has made. Yes, I am somewhat astounded that he didnt play anything off the album considering it was an album launch event. But really, I should have known better, this is what Prince does. So I take the hit on my comment above and will give you that little crumb on which to feed.

My gripe with you is regarding your "all knowingness" about how things will pan out. And it all stems from your dislike of the albums and how you seem to know more than WB when it comes to marketing. One internet promo event does not make your point. It does not prove you right. All it does is showcase Prince's ability to show complete disregard for his own product once it has been released. And that is something Prince has done adnausium for decades. It does not show WB to be incompetant at promo for this, or any, album. WB may just not have interest in it, they may have concluded it isnt worth the expense. They may have other plans afoot which will reveal themselves in due course.

WB know what they are doing, Prince doesnt give a shit. Whether WB reel Prince in (if they even can) and promote the albums properly is something they will have already made a business decision over. But one thing is for sure, they will have had strategy meetings over these albums (and the PR reissue) and will have come to a decision that works best for their business. They would not be flying by the seats of their pants and getting things wrong simply because the decision makers do not know what they are doing. And that is where you are at fault - you are presuming to know more than they do about how to run their business and promote their product. You are on these forums stating WB should have done this, that or the other and you are basing your arguments on nonsensical things like mathematics to "proove" your point. But the truth is, you are here on the org hating on the album and everything about it like a troll, and WB execs are the corporate experts that are getting paid to strategise the albums release. Im sure if they needed your help, they would come calling. The fact that your phone has not been ringing tells the story quite succinctly.

Now back to the topic at hand. Do you like the song the thread is about or are you hating on that too?

Best half of the album by far and I reckon the best piece of work he has done in a very very long time. The first half, whilst very good, prevents the album from attaining a "Prince classic" award imo. But still, im very happy with the results.

I'm "trolling" about how I hate the albums as much as you are trolling about how you love the album...And maybe less, you made more posts than me since the release of the album. So your assertion is again, inappropriated.

If WB know what are they doing, please ask this simple questions :

- Why still no music video for the 1st single, six days after the release of the album ?

- Why still zero airplay for the 1st single, six days after the release of the album ?

- Why still no promotion on tv for the albums ?

- Why still no performance of prince for AOA, and only one song from PE ?

- Why WB organized a worldwide promotion event about the 2 albums, that turned into a promotion event for songs that are not commercially available, and is actually a good kick in the ass of WB ?

- Why, since Prince made it straight that he won't be involved in the promotion of Purple Rain, not having released the album on june, when all the medias were celebrating the 30 th anniversary FOR FREE?

You really think they're gonna celebrate it a second time in the same year ? lol Again your assessments are utterly crazy. In the real world (to use your expression) things are not going that way.

They made Prince sign a contract in order to sell the purple Rain releases first, then other re-releases. They didn't care about the two new albums, but they were ready to promote them, because if they are flop, it would affect negatively the perception of Purple rain. But when they saw Prince wasn't going to be involved in the music video, and that it won't never be ready for the release, they realized it was game over.

In the end, they're gonna release a reedition six months after the initial buzz, Prince won't move his little finger to promote it, and it seems now more and more obvious that prince didn't allow them for unreleased stuffs, except extented version. But Prince's gonna make cash from PE and AOA, he got his masters back, he won on every points.

It was the duty of WB to contractually oblige him to do the work. He fucked them by throwing 2 tracks from AOA instead of performing them. And again, he didn't even choose the "hit single Funknroll". He fucked WB until the bones, and it's embarassing because WB wants to death to release PR.

I was wrong on only one thing : i predicted PR will be announced on september, 30, to make the buzz. Still no official announcement, and it was supposed to be released at the end of november. It is more likely now, it would be released on december, and that a problem occured recently with Prince and WB that causes a delay.

lol WAY BACK HOME, though the best track so far on the album, never reach the peak the listener expects to. Moreover, and this is what saddens me, in every track of the two albums, it sounds like many artists could have done the same thing, if not better.

Listen to forbidden colours from Sakamoto, you'll understand where Welton got his inspiration, in term of melody and production.

Way back home is always on the same tempo, with the same 4 or 5 little notes to form a melody. And the same could be said of almost every tracks from AOA.

If WB know what are they doing, please ask this simple questions :

- Why still no music video for the 1st single, six days after the release of the album ?
Maybe WB do not WANT to put resources into these releases. Maybe a video will be released very soon. Who knows? I don't know and neither do you. But I doubt they had a strategy meeting about it and then walked out scratching their heads saying "you know what? We do not know what we are doing in this business".

- Why still zero airplay for the 1st single, six days after the release of the album ?

See above

- Why still no promotion on tv for the albums ?

See above

- Why still no performance of prince for AOA, and only one song from PE ?

It was only released yesterday, Im sure some sort of tour is on the cards which 3EG alluded to in the Live Nation promo.

- Why WB organized a worldwide promotion event about the 2 albums, that turned into a promotion event for songs that are not commercially available, and is actually a good kick in the ass of WB ?
This is what Prince does. You can hardly put the blame on WB's shoulders regarding Prince's actions. They couldnt control him then, they cant control him now.

- Why, since Prince made it straight that he won't be involved in the promotion of Purple Rain, not having released the album on june, when all the medias were celebrating the 30 th anniversary FOR FREE?
Please show me your sources which clearly state that Prince said he will not be involved. And why the reissue was not released in June is, again, anyone's guess. But I doubt very much it is because WB are too busy scratching their heads wondering how to run their business.

You really think they're gonna celebrate it a second time in the same year ? lol Again your assessments are utterly crazy. In the real world (to use your expression) things are not going that way.
Celebrate what twice exactly? I do not recall any PR celebration so far. A few acknowledgements in the press regarding the anniversary, but that hardly constitutes a celebration. When, and if, the reissue is released, the press will be very happy to report on it. Whether it is next month or next year. Again, I fail to see how your point of view is so much better then WB's.

They made Prince sign a contract in order to sell the purple Rain releases first, then other re-releases. They didn't care about the two new albums, but they were ready to promote them, because if they are flop, it would affect negatively the perception of Purple rain. But when they saw Prince wasn't going to be involved in the music video, and that it won't never be ready for the release, they realized it was game over.

My god. So much speculation on your part here. Honestly, I can't even believe Ive been dragged into this argument with you when so much of what you say is based on nothing but your own perceptions. When exactly did WB MAKE Prince sign anything? Where and when did they say that they didnt care about the 2 new albums? Why would the success or failure of these albums affect Purple Rain? When exactly did you hear that Prince pulled out of any video? Where did you hear a video will never be ready? Honestly, all of this is just you making things up in your head and believing it all to be true. "Head up ass syndrome" I call it.

In the end, they're gonna release a reedition six months after the initial buzz, Prince won't move his little finger to promote it, and it seems now more and more obvious that prince didn't allow them for unreleased stuffs, except extented version. But Prince's gonna make cash from PE and AOA, he got his masters back, he won on every points.
There you go again pulling things out of your arse again and convincing yourself they are true. The initial buzz was hardly really a buzz. It was mainly an acknowledgement by the press that PR is 30 years old. Most people couldnt care less. Here we go again, please explain how you know Prince has refused WB any unreleased songs.

It was the duty of WB to contractually oblige him to do the work. Was it? You read the contract did you?
He fucked them by throwing 2 tracks from AOA instead of performing them. And again, he didn't even choose the "hit single Funknroll". He fucked WB until the bones, and it's embarassing because WB wants to death to release PR.
Once again, you know a lot about what WB wants from all this. Please give me some sources, anything, that backs up your exclusive knowledge about all of this.

I was wrong on only one thing : i predicted PR will be announced on september, 30, to make the buzz. Still no official announcement, and it was supposed to be released at the end of november.
How do you know it was supposed to be released then? As far as I know, WB or Prince have made no such statements about when anything is due for release. Someone who claims to have inside knowledge stated hear on the org they HEARD it might be November, but again, that is still speculation.

It is more likely now, it would be released on december, and that a problem occured recently with Prince and WB that causes a delay.
Why did I bother with this argument? We have completely derailed the thread and all I am doing is going around in circles. You have no facts to bring to the table. All you have are your own views based on speculation and your own arse excretments. You have given me nothing that backs up anything you have claimed as fact. This time I really am through with this. Please, carry on dissing the new albums, WB and Prince until your heart is content. I cant be arsed anymore.

Agreed. Couldn't say it better (so I won't).

Those who said P can't sing anymore are talking outta their hole. He sang some of the best renditions of classic ballads I have ever heard throughout this year, during his stint in the UK. PLus, anyone who heard him sing A case of U at the Roundhouse will agree that his voice is probably better than ever.

Very soon ? The album was released 5 days ago ! the video should be out for at least one month, if it was to be a "hit", like they said on the stickers.

- Why still zero airplay for the 1st single, six days after the release of the album ?

See above

So, you think they're gonna push some airplay when exactly ? Two or three weeks after the release ? Complete non-sense.

- Why still no promotion on tv for the albums ?

See above

i just see you think WB is doing a great job by doing nothing to make the record a success. In term of marketing strategy, it's ZERO. The album is only selling by the brand name of Prince, and that is going to last only 2/3 weeks.

- Why still no performance of prince for AOA, and only one song from PE ?

It was only released yesterday, Im sure some sort of tour is on the cards which 3EG alluded to in the Live Nation promo.

It was released 5 days ago around the world.

- Why WB organized a worldwide promotion event about the 2 albums, that turned into a promotion event for songs that are not commercially available, and is actually a good kick in the ass of WB ?
This is what Prince does. You can hardly put the blame on WB's shoulders regarding Prince's actions. They couldnt control him then, they cant control him now.

Considering what P did with WB in the past and with other recording companies, they should have known better, they could have written in capital letters that he will be obliged to do this and that.

- Why, since Prince made it straight that he won't be involved in the promotion of Purple Rain, not having released the album on june, when all the medias were celebrating the 30 th anniversary FOR FREE?
Please show me your sources which clearly state that Prince said he will not be involved. And why the reissue was not released in June is, again, anyone's guess. But I doubt very much it is because WB are too busy scratching their heads wondering how to run their business.

Prince tell it himself in an interview two days ago.

You really think they're gonna celebrate it a second time in the same year ? lol Again your assessments are utterly crazy. In the real world (to use your expression) things are not going that way.
Celebrate what twice exactly? I do not recall any PR celebration so far. A few acknowledgements in the press regarding the anniversary, but that hardly constitutes a celebration. When, and if, the reissue is released, the press will be very happy to report on it. Whether it is next month or next year. Again, I fail to see how your point of view is so much better then WB's.

So, how come Purple Rain reenter US and Uk charts during summer ? pure magic ? You're talking nonsense, and i refuse to be as injuring as you, talking about my ass, and my excrements. It's just that you have no arguments, and you go on and on in such bad faith.

They made Prince sign a contract in order to sell the purple Rain releases first, then other re-releases. They didn't care about the two new albums, but they were ready to promote them, because if they are flop, it would affect negatively the perception of Purple rain. But when they saw Prince wasn't going to be involved in the music video, and that it won't never be ready for the release, they realized it was game over.

My god. So much speculation on your part here. Honestly, I can't even believe Ive been dragged into this argument with you when so much of what you say is based on nothing but your own perceptions. 1) When exactly did WB MAKE Prince sign anything? Where and when did they say that they didnt care about the 2 new albums? Why would the success or failure of these albums affect Purple Rain? When exactly did you hear that Prince pulled out of any video? Where did you hear a video will never be ready? Honestly, all of this is just you making things up in your head and believing it all to be true. "Head up ass syndrome" I call it.

1) When did Prince signed something with WB ? Well there was an offcial announcement in WB, with contractual obligations stated. Prince was supposed to do this, and in exchance WB was to do that.

2) It's a well-known fact that Prince wandered from recording companies to recording companies to sell his two shits, and that nobody cared. Only WB had an interest in it, only because they OWN the prince's catalogue. When an artist releases a new album, his other albums see their sales rising. Mathematics

3) You asked me where did I hear a video will never be ready for the release ? But that's a fact ! I don't have to explain it, the album was released, and there is no video lol . Usually a video is out one month before the album. If not, you're just releasing an album that has no chance to be at its peak during the album's release. Mathematics.

Another thing : it's clear that WB wasn't ready to pay for it. Why ? Because they doesn't own the masters anymore. Mathematics.

I think that P thought WB was going to pay the music video, and that would explain clearly the delay.

4) If the albums are flops, media will take Prince for an has been. that's the way it works. But if these albums are successes, ithe media would say it's a great comeback and bla bla bla

In the end, they're gonna release a reedition six months after the initial buzz, Prince won't move his little finger to promote it, and it seems now more and more obvious that prince didn't allow them for unreleased stuffs, except extented version. But Prince's gonna make cash from PE and AOA, he got his masters back, he won on every points.
There you go again pulling things out of your arse again and convincing yourself they are true. The initial buzz was hardly really a buzz. It was mainly an acknowledgement by the press that PR is 30 years old. Most people couldnt care less. Here we go again, please explain how you know Prince has refused WB any unreleased songs.

I explained you above the album reentered the charts, and that's no coincidence at all.

You told me earlier, that you should have known that Prince was going to fuck the promo event with yahoo. And in 3 months, you will tell me the same thing about the PR re-release. I hope to be proved wrong though, but it's unlikely and you know it. Prince won't give any unreleased song, he keeps them for him.

It was the duty of WB to contractually oblige him to do the work. Was it? You read the contract did you?

No need to read it, it's just the obvious. WB wanted to make the more money possible, they would have made more money if Prince performed yesterday only songs included on its 2 last releases. I think we both agree on this.
He fucked them by throwing 2 tracks from AOA instead of performing them. And again, he didn't even choose the "hit single Funknroll". He fucked WB until the bones, and it's embarassing because WB wants to death to release PR.
Once again, you know a lot about what WB wants from all this. Please give me some sources, anything, that backs up your exclusive knowledge about all of this.

Maybe because PR is one of the 20 best seller of all time in the USA? maybe because it sold more in the US than any album of the Beatles ? Maybe because it sold only 6 millions in the rest of the world, and that implies that many people doesn't own it yet ? This reedition could have been a million seller easily, and that means a lot in these days. You don't seem to realize it, that's why I think on the subject you re utterly out of touch.

I was wrong on only one thing : i predicted PR will be announced on september, 30, to make the buzz. Still no official announcement, and it was supposed to be released at the end of november.
How do you know it was supposed to be released then? As far as I know, WB or Prince have made no such statements about when anything is due for release. Someone who claims to have inside knowledge stated hear on the org they HEARD it might be November, but again, that is still speculation.

They made a statement they wanted to release it during the 30 th anniversary . A well-informed person dropped the november, 23 date or something. You really don't know what you're talking about. Instead of being humble after all your insults, you keep on treating me like shit, and doesn't accept the facts.
It is more likely now, it would be released on december, and that a problem occured recently with Prince and WB that causes a delay.
Why did I bother with this argument? We have completely derailed the thread and all I am doing is going around in circles. You have no facts to bring to the table. All you have are your own views based on speculation and your own arse excretments. You have given me nothing that backs up anything you have claimed as fact. This time I really am through with this. Please, carry on dissing the new albums, WB and Prince until your heart is content. I cant be arsed anymore.

You clearly are not someone who has intellectual honesty at all, because you were supposed to take the bet to make all the things you said about eggs on my pores or something lol. You keep on bashing me about my excrements. As you want.

Clearly, the very day one of the tracks from AOA make the top 40 in UK or US, I''ll go, because that would mean promotion from both parts, and that's my point since one month. And since one month, everything I say, exept the announcement of PR on september, 30, is happening, against the vast majority of the opinion on the org.

I'm "trolling" about how I hate the albums as much as you are trolling about how you love the album...And maybe less, you made more posts than me since the release of the album. So your assertion is again, inappropriated.



If WB know what are they doing, please ask this simple questions :


- Why still no music video for the 1st single, six days after the release of the album ?
Maybe WB do not WANT to put resources into these releases. Maybe a video will be released very soon. Who knows? I don't know and neither do you. But I doubt they had a strategy meeting about it and then walked out scratching their heads saying "you know what? We do not know what we are doing in this business".


Very soon ? The album was released 5 days ago ! the video should be out for at least one month, if it was to be a "hit", like they said on the stickers.


- Why still zero airplay for the 1st single, six days after the release of the album ?


See above


So, you think they're gonna push some airplay when exactly ? Two or three weeks after the release ? Complete non-sense.


- Why still no promotion on tv for the albums ?


See above


i just see you think WB is doing a great job by doing nothing to make the record a success. In term of marketing strategy, it's ZERO. The album is only selling by the brand name of Prince, and that is going to last only 2/3 weeks.


- Why still no performance of prince for AOA, and only one song from PE ?


It was only released yesterday, Im sure some sort of tour is on the cards which 3EG alluded to in the Live Nation promo.


It was released 5 days ago around the world.


- Why WB organized a worldwide promotion event about the 2 albums, that turned into a promotion event for songs that are not commercially available, and is actually a good kick in the ass of WB ?
This is what Prince does. You can hardly put the blame on WB's shoulders regarding Prince's actions. They couldnt control him then, they cant control him now.


Considering what P did with WB in the past and with other recording companies, they should have known better, they could have written in capital letters that he will be obliged to do this and that.


- Why, since Prince made it straight that he won't be involved in the promotion of Purple Rain, not having released the album on june, when all the medias were celebrating the 30 th anniversary FOR FREE?
Please show me your sources which clearly state that Prince said he will not be involved. And why the reissue was not released in June is, again, anyone's guess. But I doubt very much it is because WB are too busy scratching their heads wondering how to run their business.


Prince tell it himself in an interview two days ago.


You really think they're gonna celebrate it a second time in the same year ? lol Again your assessments are utterly crazy. In the real world (to use your expression) things are not going that way.
Celebrate what twice exactly? I do not recall any PR celebration so far. A few acknowledgements in the press regarding the anniversary, but that hardly constitutes a celebration. When, and if, the reissue is released, the press will be very happy to report on it. Whether it is next month or next year. Again, I fail to see how your point of view is so much better then WB's.


So, how come Purple Rain reenter US and Uk charts during summer ? pure magic ? You're talking nonsense, and i refuse to be as injuring as, talking about my ass, and my excrements. It's just you have no arguments, and you go on and on in such bad faith.


They made Prince sign a contract in order to sell the purple Rain releases first, then other re-releases. They didn't care about the two new albums, but they were ready to promote them, because if they are flop, it would affect negatively the perception of Purple rain. But when they saw Prince wasn't going to be involved in the music video, and that it won't never be ready for the release, they realized it was game over.


My god. So much speculation on your part here. Honestly, I can't even believe Ive been dragged into this argument with you when so much of what you say is based on nothing but your own perceptions. 1) When exactly did WB MAKE Prince sign anything? Where and when did they say that they didnt care about the 2 new albums? Why would the success or failure of these albums affect Purple Rain? When exactly did you hear that Prince pulled out of any video? Where did you hear a video will never be ready? Honestly, all of this is just you making things up in your head and believing it all to be true. "Head up ass syndrome" I call it.


1) When did Prince signed something with WB ? Well there was an offcial announcement in WB, with contractual obligations stated. Prince was supposed to do this, and in exchance WB was to do that.


2) It's a well-known fact that Prince wandered from recording companies to recording companies to sell his two shits, and that nobody cared. Only WB had an interest in it, only because they OWN the prince's catalogue. When an artist releases a new album, his other albums see their sales rising. Mathematics


3) You asked me where did I hear a video will never be ready for the release ? But that's a fact ! I don't have to explain it, the album was released, and there is no video lol . Usually a video is out one month before the album. If not, you're just releasing an album that has no chance to be at its peak during the album's release. Mathematics.


Another thing : it's clear that WB wasn't ready to pay for it. Why ? Because they doesn't own the masters anymore. Mathematics.


I think that P thought WB was going to pay the music video, and that would explain clearly the delay.


In the end, they're gonna release a reedition six months after the initial buzz, Prince won't move his little finger to promote it, and it seems now more and more obvious that prince didn't allow them for unreleased stuffs, except extented version. But Prince's gonna make cash from PE and AOA, he got his masters back, he won on every points.
There you go again pulling things out of your arse again and convincing yourself they are true. The initial buzz was hardly really a buzz. It was mainly an acknowledgement by the press that PR is 30 years old. Most people couldnt care less. Here we go again, please explain how you know Prince has refused WB any unreleased songs.


I explained you above the album reentered the charts, and that's no coincidence at all.

Me too, this is a priceless song. A fuill cream, sexy ballad served up with falsetto. Take that Jehovah's Witness brainwashing money churches. The Prince of sex and fun is back.

Got some kind of love for you, and I don't even know your name

Based on the lyrics, I'd say Andy. "Ain't ready 2 go steady, ain't ready for us." She seems to have vanished from the inner circle. "I know u're loving ur freedom, cuz ur freedom is paying ur bills." When Andy split, she went off and worked/toured her record by herself. It's all hearsay of course.

"That's when stars collide. When there's space for what u want, and ur heart is open wide."

Can't say I'm addicted, but this one was a sleeper for me. First impression was that it was kind of a generic by the numbers Prince slow jam. Then I listened to it again. And again. And again. And, damnit, this song is catchy mad

"What kind of fuck ending is that?"

That bastard made me cry. Eff him, anyway.

I'm curious, and this is in no way a dig or whatever - I'm sure I read you saying on here you weren't sure you would even buy this album after hearing Clouds and U Know - how you feeling about it all now?

So look into the mirror, do u recognise some1? Is it who u always hoped u would become, when u were young?

When the snippet came out I was expecting another Princey been done wrong by his woman ballad but there's more to it than that, some interesting lyrics. Great song, love the little subtle guitar solo at the end
