i'm still hoping for the "shut this down" extended/remix one of these weeks

but quite impressed that prince seems to care enough about HnR2 that he has
now picked 2 songs to feature as PPOTW. that's more promo than a lot of his
recent albums have had, right?

Big City

Great song but again not what we expect from the PP.

Looking back only Stare (at that point), Free Urself and IECGYA were worth it.

I guess Tidal isn't happy with it either, because more real exclusives would give them more subscriptions or paid downloads.

It could have been so easy, if it's not from the vault why not some remixes or extendeds from earlier releases that aren't available for streaming yet?

Revelation

Jokes! No one other than subscribers are gonna see this, and its avail on the album. F Prince.

P, please, oh please, make The Work Pt. 1 next week's Purple Pick.

1999 the New Master (Extended Remix), is my hope for PPotW.

Prince couldn't get a manicure without someone here making a 3 page thread about how he shoulda, coulda, oughta have picked a different nail saloon.

Let's say he did release, say, Moonbeam Levels as the Purple Pick of the week, then we'd have some of the answers below:

- Fantastic news! (followed by 10 posts saying "meh, already have that in top quality, why did he wait so long?")

- I'm happy about this but shouldn't this be saved for the boxset (followed by 10 posts saying Prince has no business sense, he doesn't know what he's doing, he's "blowing it" and "besides, couldn't he have picked something that hasn't been circulating for decades?"

- all of the above PLUS "he has an album to promote, why isn't he showcasing Revelation for instance? The man has no business flair."

Yes, but no.

Purple Pick is for the fans: the vault picks.

His new releases can be promoted on the tidal front page, by performing on TV, doing videos, whatever. People checking him out on Tidal, will then discover this treasure trove.

A boxset is something that can still be released, especially as you can't buy these picks.

And lastly, people saying 'we already had this in perfect quality' can obviously be ignored.

Next apology.

"The Ladder" is a good song.It sounds alot like the song "Purple Rain",but with a more gospel/soulful feel to it.

There's no apology for 'The Ladder', it's crap. But then there are also people to whom 'Another Lonely Christmas' is heartfelt...

"Hair" by Graham Central Station

Well, that'll shut up everyone who was complaining about the recent picks being current songs. At least we get the disapointment out of the way nice and early this week.

He could have made this really special, releasing a few new songs (which he has), a few live tracks and a couple of old out takes. Even if he had released songs that we've all had for years with pristine sound he would have made fans really happy. And yet, he's just given another step into alienating the 20.000 or so people who still listen to his new stuff..

To be honest it feels more and more like he does this on purpose, he knows how disappointed most of us are with the purple picks and e probably loves it

He/they need to maintain the Tidal subscribers.

How better to do this??? But to release a so-called surprise after every month or so.

new purple pick. thanks for the info.

must be trying to say..its changing...
