I still think it's a reference to Around The World In A Day Deluxe Edition. For a number of reasons.

1. The "7" references could be in relation to his 7th album.

2. An ATWIAD Deluxe would fit in well with the previous releases, given that the Estate seem stuck in the 80s.

3. Raspberry Beret is a hugely well known song. I knew the lyrics to practically the whole song long before I listened to my first Prince album. This is the kind of song they can market a re-release with.

I can get behind this, but at this point - with Spicer, Londell, Sharon and all of them being spiteful assholes - I'm not holding my breath.

No way the '7' has anything to do with a ATWIAD SDE or whatever. It's just a theme for 2+0+2+3 and the fact that it is seven years since Prince died, so proabably just a '7' themed celebration with some exclusive celebration release of a unreleased version or live version of 7.

That acoustic version is everything. Add "Space (Acoustic)" to that.

Must have been 10 years since I listened to 7 Acoustic and I'm so glad you guys mentioned it.



Really showcases that beautiful vocal take as well

Its my favorite and I want it on streaming so it can be some other kid's favorite too someday

I love 7 Accoustic. It's the only CD single I own.

I used to have the New Power Generation CD single, but seem to have lost it. I really liked its "b-side", Loveleft, Loveright. It was a slight song that didn't really go anywhere, but I thought it was a cool groove.

After looking through Spicer's tweets and replies, all I see are cryptic comments, empty promises, and cutesy GIFs. But, I'm just an idiot on the .org, so what would I know.

Don't even downplay it! Loveleft Loveright is fire. That is the most pimpin song Prince ever did, imo. Love his confidence and attitude on that song. Also love the rest of the Larrabee Sessions (especially Play and Get Off). I even like the stuff with Robin Power. Not for her, I sorta tune that stuff out but it's that fucking groove. It sounds good at every speed.

last year that whole larrabee sessions ep was once again among my most played tracks

guys something will be released this year the question is just will it be shit or will it be good

Does anyone else get annoyed every time the Prince social media accounts tweet about the anniversary of some past release? That seems to be all they do anymore. like, yeah, it's cool that X number of years passed since that album, when do y'all plan on releasing something new for people to talk about?

There's so much more to explore than what Prince released in his lifetime but his estate seems content to just keep the low effort nostalgia-fest going...

this seems pretty unambiguous

But - that's out already. In many places.

Had to go listen just cuz. What a fucking great song. God damn.

Strange. Its a song i still dislike to this day.

Tried to listen to it again just now, and nope. I really don't like it, and i don't know why.

''7'', the accoustic version, the remixes, yuck.

Strange huh.

As if there's something with the vocals that is not right... maybe it's that, i dunno

Also the samples are super annoying to me,

and the drum rhythm and percussion is also not my thing.

also the lyrical content...

"...And we will see a plague and a river of blood
And every evil soul will surely die in spite of
Their 7 tears..."

So far my unasked and unimportant opinion.

Exactly.

Was thinking the same.

But not even sure if (bold) will happen.

I don't think ther will be any release this year except for some streaming maybe.

But let's hope we're all wrong.

Exactly.

And Official Paisley Park is even worse...

I'm not even following them anymore.

I also unsubscribed from the official Prince mailing list.

I don't need new purple hoodies, which was the drop that mgot me mad, the very last shit email from two days ago.

Fuck them.

He didn't say "previously unreleased music", though. Not that unambiguous, I'd say.

Yeah, I wouldn't get my hopes up. Technically last year we did get music/video released and it was a rehash of shit that has already been put out multiple times.

technically the ad for he celebration is new video and new music.

that's how low they've set the bar

Jack White is supposed to release the Camille album in 2023.

Which would be cool (for collectors), but, again, not really previously unreleased music (unless the mixes really are that different).

He has the final version so not much differences from the released versions.
Hopefully the two other earlier versions of the album will be found and released in our time becasue these will never be leaked I think. Those two versions have alternate/longer versions and edits and different mixes of I think most tracks.
