Btw in response to someone asking why the song isn't for sale (what song is this?), PP replied "👀💜"

Has anyone managed to figure out what the new song is? I'm presuming it's new. The drums and bass make me think it's from the Black Is The New Black sessions, and the "dig me now" reminds me of The Work Pt.1 from the Aladdin DVD ~ but his voice in the snippet sounds different to TRC/'02 era. I'm hoping it's from around the BITNB sessions. I also figured out the photo used in the teaser video is from 2009 ( https://twitter.com/Vault...9597513729 )

I'm not convinced BITNB was much of a thing before he died. To me, this song could've been from damn near any period - even during the same sessions as When The Lights Go Down. Someone surely knows what the song is.

I like to think BITNB was either complete or near complete, which I think I heard Adrian or somebody else say on a podcast a few years back. PrinceVault (which I consider a reliable and well meaning source) says the last song recorded for it was the title track, plus Ruff Enuff was released as a "lead single" from it. And the album has a jam-like quality, which the snippet sounds like, along with the instrumental videos we'd get on Princestagram back in the day

Yeah I'm just always skeptical of what his associates say he would do. I recall Michael Bland specifically mentioning how they'd go in, record tons of jams, and stuff would come back a fully produced song (Chaos and Disorder and 3121 being two songs that are examples of this).

Would he have all of a sudden become more clear? Maybe. It's just not what he ever used to do. Even W&L said they had always thought the next record was Roadhouse Garden, and it never was.

Prince liked to say things. People always believed him. But in the end, he only did what he did and that wasn't always clear. I guess I'm also skeptical because I don't like Ruff Enuff at all.

Prince calling his fans fams is even more cringe now hes gone. All artists attempts to come up with a name for their fans are cringe but he could have at least come up with something better

Did Prince call his fan "fams", or is that something some fans just decided to call themselves?

It is super cringe. I never use the term.

He used it for a while in the early 00s.

U R a Fam.

We R Fams.

Get it now, funkybaby???

Since we're bored because we're being neglected by the estate (they hate us ) and running out of things to talk about, someone should do a poll.

Did you agree with Prince calling his fandom FAMS ?

Yes or No ?

Maybe Funkybaby will be alone in this.
