What's the point? The album is out, he got paid upfront for the exclusive streaming of the music on "HITNRUN" on TIDAL and retail release of the album on CD, videos for this album should have been in advance of the album to catch the biggest threshold for the first week of streams and CD sales. Just move on. It's better for him to move on to the next project (an album of his own music or someone else he is producing) and coordinate a plan to effectively exploit any and every opportunity commercially he can.

I agree some really good music videos can catch on like wildfire on social media, they go viral.

Look at "Turn Down for What", that video exceeds Lil Jon. I was pushing the video not even knowing who was singing the first time I saw it.

Look at the "Happy" video by Pharell.

Videos of this strength of concept and execution.

He needs to hire those guys that made the "Turn Down for What" video. they are crazy.

Look at Kendrick Lamar's videos.

I would like to see a video for "Shut This Down". I can imagine a "real" dance off section for the part where the bass comes in double time rhythm. A dance off that is taken for real out somewhere. Not in a studio. Shit even if it was composed of found youtube videos. That could be cool.

Yes we needz vidz

A video for June it's a great song

notice there were no listening parties for this album???

Fo sho.

To each his own.

And no.

New videos yeah that would be great,

HardRockLover,
Ex's Face,
1000 Hugs & Kisses

Amazing songs, ---- and I agree they needs to be known outside this fanbase.

(this is = a socalled fanbase, that is haha)

It will never happen but if he wanted to reach non-fans and attempt to hava a hit - Aint About 2 Stop would be a good choice. All futuristic with Rita Ora and Donna on guitar. I'm no Rita Bot but I think that would work.

I thought there were?

I think he could do some really retro videos for these, very colourful and stylish, high contrast. Maybe for 1000 X's & O's, think the vid for The Greatest Romance or Hot With U? It's a shame he doesn't make videos anymore, he used to make endless videos for songs that didn't even see the light of day!

Those in favor of videos are out numbering you haters!

Nobody cares what your Netherlands arse have to say anyway! Prince is from the US.

Ain't gonna happen.

Last 'proper' video was Rock n Roll Love Affair wasn't it?

He'll release a video from this project......two months from now

The last video Prince was in was "FIXURLIFEUP" which was shot in May 2013. "Rock N Roll Love Affair" video was shot September of 2012.

Indifference?

Also Breakfast Can Wait, or did that single release before R&R? I can't remember.

Good concepts, at least 2 or 3 of those should get some produciton...

All HnR needs is 4 the HnR Tour 2 resume, which should have happened in the week leading up 2 the album release. Although, just 1 music video would be nice. I'm counting those 3 Warner AOA/PE videos 2 count as real videos because clearly P approved them; and in this age of zero promo budgets, the content and styling of these videos are a commentary on where the video format is heading. A bit surprised that he hasn't ordered them taken down yet...

I can see it now, a bouncing ball over lyrics, Prince has gotten lazy with videos......

Like a Mack is my favorite on the album!! LOVE IT!! I really like this entire album except for maybe This Could Be Us. The rest is STRONG!! I also would love to see a video release like The Beautiful Experience. That would be really cool!

Like a mack is wack. God no. It's embarrassing, and a forced creative effort that makes you cringe. When you see a grown man close to 60, still trying to win over kids by collaborating with kids, it doesn't fool anyone. If those girls actually had talent, I'd be singing a different tune, but they have about as much talent musically as Britney Spears. The song is awful. 1000's hugs and kisses is better than the original and if any song needed a video, I'd suggest that one or June.

I'm sorry but who says a grown man can't have fun anymore?? Age is just a number and Prince is an old as well as young soul and I as well love that song and have fun with it and I'm well over 40...

So what's wack 4 one is still mack 4 another!

ism't indifference just filmed with a low quality camera in one shot or something? does that count?

Breakfast Can Wait, i guess that counts, but he wasn't in it so it just doesn't interest me that much. Fixurlifeup, that one i would say was his last proper video then
