An impersonator.
Pretty good on some of the body language... |

some would argue singing about big cities and shit is bullshit.

Here's the thing. I'm agnostic. I don't believe everything that Prince says about God, Jesus, etc., but I'm acrutely interested in hearing someone like Prince sing about something he is obviously very passionate about. Without that passion I don't think that Prince would be the artist he was.
I'm secure enough in my belief, or lack thereof, to be openminded and listen to what he has to say and try to understand why he is so religious/what drove his beliefs. I just can't understand people who are so closed to anything outside of what they believe. |

Oh good, this is going to be some dogmatic "my religion is right and your rational, observable facts aren't" bullshit.
just curious; given his proclivity to weave religion into just about everything he did, and knowing that as peopel get older, their beliefs change, mature, etc., what the fuck is the issue here? What would you like him to sing about?
Something less ignorant - like big cities and shit. There's only one thing ignorant here and it's not the song SMH The greatest live performer of our times was is and always will be Prince.
Remember there is only one destination and that place is U
All of it. Everything. Is U. |

Downloaded and gave a quick listen to the songs. Definitely doesn't sound like anything Prince ever intended to release as a project. It makes me think that this is what the Chaos and Disorder album would have sounded like if Prince had 3rd Eyed Girl back then. This is Prince on auto-pilot. Some of these songs might just have to grow on me. "I Was FINE Back in the Day!" |

Yikes. Kinda conflicted about it. Wonderful to hear his voice on new music again, but this shouldn't have been the first new thing. The strategy behind getting the vault music out there is still being worked out, and this kind of throws a wrench into things, and cheapens what they're trying to do for the future. You know Prince wouldn't be happy about this, especially about a bootleg Prince dancing around in the video. Can't say I didn't buy it though! "That's when stars collide. When there's space for what u want, and ur heart is open wide." |

Choir parts recorded sometime last year, under the watchful eye of the estate, I'm told by one of the members. |

Because of the masters and the actual release. Probably nothing officially agreed to, especially after the initial Universal agreement. |

Okay, are you guys getting this from the princerogersnelson site? I'm just asking because I'm feeling nervous about using it, for some reason. Probably because I routinely feel nervous about giving information to almost any site, but still--it's not up on iTunes or anything more mainstream yet is it?
I mean, I'm intending to buy the thing--I'm just hoping to do so through some established entity (though I realize that might not ever happen, if the estate isn't down with it--so I can't wait too long before doing something, I guess).
Any more developed reviews/descriptions? I listened to the snippet of Deliverance on Pitchfork, and saw the other thread mentioning the extended I Am, but anyone else got more details? |

I havent heard the rest lf the tracks, but the song Deliverance sounds 100% Prince to me. The fake Prince dancing is tragic. Stop doing dumb shit. No impersonations. Never. |

If the original agreement between the engineer meant that the Estate or Prince himself owned the master and controlled the release, then absolutely, the Estate or Universal should be the ones to release it. |

Payments are processed by Stripe so you're not giving your financials to anyone but them. I felt a bit weird about it as well, especially since this is going against what Prince would have wanted, but then so is being on Spotify
None of the other tracks are as good as Deliverance but still decent. There's some weird editing going on that makes all the tracks segue into each other, it's really like Deliverance and then one other long song in several parts. The extended I Am fades out fairly quick as well, I wonder if the entire thing wasn't one very long jam session edited together. [Edited 4/18/17 19:24pm] |

I feel the same. I want to buy it, but I'm not an American resident anymore.

Well this is weird, not sure whether I'll purchase as it seems a little shady but my curiosity is definitely piqued. So is the full EP available right now? Heavenly wine and roses seems to whisper to me when you smile...

I bought it fromprincerogersnelson.com.
I paid for FLAC files which are terribly overpriced. Don't do it. $19.99 for FLAC vs $6.99 for MP3.
Here's the track list and times. The tracks sound excellent from a sound quality soundpoint, but they're quite short:
Deliverance 3:45
I Am (Extended) 3:50
I Am 2:25
No One Else 2:53
Sunrise Sunset 1:13
Touch Me 1:49
I haven't listened to each in enough detail to warrant a description, but this is definitely the real thing.

Legally, without some agreement with Prince he can produce to validate the release, he is in trouble. Aggregators are pretty hot on that, so he could find himself sued by the estate, various digital services like iTunes et al and the aggregator. |

It's just a button to check that verifies you're in the U.S. There is nothing that actually checks your location.
This seems like the kind of thing that Apple would find out about and remove very quickly if it ever makes it to Apple Music or iTunes. So, I bought it. |

I bought it from the UK in the princerogersnelson website. It's downloaded fine, and hopefuly they won't take all my money and my savings... |

Boy, that is short. I thought the difference in price for FLAC vs mp3 was steep, but I hate to not have lossless (almost everything else I have of Prince is... but there are exceptions, so I'll probably go with mp3 in the end.
Thanks for the responses, everyone! |
