i like Hannah's enthusiasm. her words give me the feeling that the 3EYE team is working more magic for us. imo, we were lucky to get two albums last year. PE and AOA were well-written and produced and imo prince benefits from having talented, skilled professionals at his side. can't wait to hear the new album!!!!

It would be great if Free Urself also came out. One album AOA-type electric funk. The other album old school organic funk (based on what we heard from Stare). No 3EG on either one.

Yeah... I could go for that.

Save your criticism for Kendra Foster from D'angelo's band. Then go back and drink from D'angelo's love sea, that U do on a daily basis in the D'angelo thread.

But leave Hannah alone that can play a REAL musical instrument..

As much as I prefer Prince to D'Angelo I would take Kendra Foster over Hannah any day. Kendra can actually sing and I like her style and attitude.

The beautiful,gorgeous Hannah & gifted husband JOSHUA are not going ANYWHERE! So accept it or find another artist...

Exactly! People need to deal with it! And not be so jealous of the opportunities that Josh, Hannah and the rest have right now with P. I'm thankful that Prince has brought cool young musicians to the table. But some people I swear, their douchebag level turns up to level 10/10 when something small they don't like bugs them..

You're so adorable!

Unless the person to you're responding is a drummer and/or producer, there is no reason to think they are jealous of anything. Jealous means they didn't get pocked for the job. If they're not a drummer nd/or producer then those "opportunities" wouldn't be appealing.

Calling some jealous because they don't like someone/something is very high school. It's not a real argument and it's very silly.

Some people don't like Josh and Hannah, (they don't bother me, personally) and they have a right to voice their opinion. You and KFOOLMUZIQ can continue to gobble the Purple Obelisk all you want.

Not everything Prince does is golden. That's a fact. It cannot be. Some people will express that fact and others will disagree with it.

Please call it what it is. An opinion. Jealousy has nothing to do with it.

Announcing that a remix of a previously released song will be on the album made me cringe.

Why would it? It is a very beautiful song, that was a minor hit. EVERY artist these days releases a reloaded album off of previous released songs and adds more. is just so gifted & prolific. He can make a whole new album. STOP with the negativity!!!

Negativity is just another term for realistic assessment. Personally, I have no probelm with a remix/redo.

Negativity doesn't exist. You have truth, falsity, and, (lacking any evidence) opinion. That's it.

Arguing against "negativity" is foolish. Sticking one's head in the sand is not an anser to anything. Just because you pretend there isn't a problem doesn't mean it goes away.

Some people will have a probelm with the same song being used on two different albums, other will not. I'm quite sure he wouldn't have included it if it weren't completely different.

So .. is it good to go or no ..

No 3EG = Heaven.

I still don't get why people get so emotional over Hannah and Josh. They seem like good people. I know very little about them honestly. What gives?

agree

It's out on bootlegs. Has been since the late 90s.

I meant the new version, guess it's not spinning yet

RE: 1000 Hugs Been reading this thread and had some questions and went to Prince Vault for info and its not listed. Which surprised me. I think I heard it years ago and it made no impression.

I wouldn't be surprised if Hannah sings lead vocals on 1000 Hugs and kisses, once I realized that I got less enthusiastic about hearing the new reworked version

Oh god, don't say that ....you will jinx it.

V10LETBLUES said:

After reading through posts on this thread, it seems clear that Prince should never make an album to this specific demographic. Either most of you are under 12 yo, or have the iq of a bag of rocks. No wonder AOA appeals to you folks. [Edited 7/26/15 11:39am]

Does your mama know you're this condescending?

Prince could cure cancer and Bart would find something to complain about that. I can see it now - "Just like Prince to put thousands of oncologists and radiologists out of work. What a wanker." LOL.

!!!!!!!

Silly question this one, but is it definitely a Prince album or a 3rd Eye Girl one?

How is it that someone not liking Hannah or Josh's musical contributions means that person is "jealous of the opportunities" that they have with Prince? That's some bizarre, magical thinking right there.

While I think that PlectrumElectrum is easily the worst album Prince has ever released and it's definitely the one that I've listened to the least (although I like Wow! and Another Love, and Marz is a decent two minutes of silliness), I gained a lot of respect for 3rdEyeGirl as a live band a few months ago in Louisville. They were much more vibrant and exciting than the last several iterations of the NPG that I saw live, who were increasingly schlocky and (worse still) dull.

So I would absolutely drop everything and do what I had to do in order to see Prince and 3rdEyeGirl play live again, as long as it was in a smallish venue (arenas suck). And Hannah seems like a really sweet girl...but her voice makes me so, so angry. What makes me even more angry is that some people on here say shit like, "She has an alternative rock voice, that's the kind of voice you're supposed to have when you sing alternative rock," as if they have any clue what the fuck they're talking about. Not only does she not have a technically good (or even minimally proficient) singing voice....she also has no presence, no character, no anything. It's just a flat, thin, "I was only asked to do this because I'm pretty and young and I'm blond and believe in God" voice.

Having said all that, I'm certainly not jealous of her opportunities with Prince. I don't play any instruments, let alone the drums, and I have no plan to join a band with Prince anytime soon.

Btw, everything yiu wrote sounds like it comes from a extremely jealous person

right? I loved AOA Josh knows the software - butttttt nothing else. Their contributions stick out because of the LACK, not because of the excellence. If either hannah or josh had some semblance of some funk, soul or heart that didnt mimic shit they've already heard....

they are pantomime people. not a unique thought between the two of them. i'm sure they're nice. but they are BORING.

ida, and donna are the bomb, and hold up their end admirably.
