Still no mention of a new album yet for 2022 or 2023 ? 2 years of nothing and they are sitting on thousands of unreleased songs and albums ...
has anyone heard anything from the estate?
are they waiting for Prince to barely be a memory like Elvis?
I dont know a lot about marketing albums, but one thing seems pretty obvious ... we are ready to buy anything new, and the iron is hot right now ... so they should strike while the irons hot
i just dont get it..
They said they have albums for the next hundred years if they released one album a year ... and still there's plenty more songs in the vault besides that ...
i just dont get it...

To say this is mismanaged would be an understatement - Also, Prince fans are just getting older and older - I consider myself to be a late starter as a Prince fan - Was 16 when it really happened - I'm 50 now - We'll all be dying off. or getting too old to care in the next few decades
The overwhelming majority of the money is to be made by the fans who were alive when Prince was - Give me a goddamn new album a month - I'm old enough to pay for it.
To drip feed the music would be a stupid attitude - Our numbers will dwindle, and there's no chance of a Prince fan resurgence.
Anyway, I'm just shouting in the wind, and/or preaching to the converted

I don't think the dry spell has been because of mismanagement or a lack of a desire to release content. It's been the result of the legal issues around the estate wrapping up and the new regime of the heirs and Primary Wave taking over, which only happened back in August. I imagine it takes a while to figure out and execute the new direction but one would think that we'll start to see a flow of music in 2023. | |

I also think that they need to find something to cater to the Gen Z generation to keep his legacy alive. The youngins seem to love him, he was recently featured on some tik tok challenge (Cuff it). The estate should look into that as well. | |

The estate should look into that as well. Prince's legacy cannot be interrupted by a lack of new fans or record sales. What he's done is cemented in time forever. Nobody buys records these days anyway. So what the estate SHOULD do is not shit on his existing, old coot fans who bout to die and perhaps release some of those deep purple concord jams. | |

The estate have changed direction and have decided that the best way to honour Prince’s legacy is to sell cheap merch such as redundant calendars, crappy t shirts and overpriced polyester sheets. It’s a good business model as they don’t need to worry about curating and compiling music and have no shortage of people willing to enable them by buying all their shit. If you want music, stop buying mugs and the same shit in a different colour vinyl. If the milk turns out to be sour, I aint the kinda pussy to drink it! | |

I’m expecting an announcement from Sharon N and OMG Productions for a John L Nelson piano album in the new year | |

I'm afraid it's going to take awhile. I've heard Sharon has taken to remastering the entire catalog herself, to make sure we get "that good sound." The orger formerly known as Schlomo. | |

Whatever the reason for all this. Not only would I would love to hear unheard music. I find it all quite sad and I truly hope folks in charge will find a way in the future, while doing his rich legacy justice, translate it into some reissue model with respect beyond overpriced plastic slippers and bedsheets and junk. | |

I should add - I believe SOTT SDE was such a huge and anticipated release, that a full year - at least - for it to absorb feels like a reaosnable approach. If you have a problem with me, text me. If you don't have my number, you don't know me well enough to have a problem with me. | |

With the new Estate IMO there will not be another SDE like SOTT ...the new projets (reissues) will be far from our expectations and desires... I expect disappointment around the corner with the new Estate! | |
