What new official (and leaks) have we got so far this year?

What new official (and leaks) have we got so far this year?

Can there be a (more or less chronological order) to see what we have?

Since there was/is no big release this year, let's try to sum it up.

I have no time to fill in all, but we can work together. smile

Official ones :

- Silver Tongue (new version May 24, 2024)

- Magnificent (april 26, 2024)

- (...)

Unofficial/leaks :

- Xenophobia (live in studio version recorded by Scott Ferril)

- No Changes (piano demo)

- Keep On Loving U (via DJ Rashida, mixed w A.Baker's piano loop)

- Keep On Loving U (version without A.Baker's piano loop)

- Face 2 Face (super bad quality 23 sec snippet)

- (...)

The CB rehearsal and Evolsidog/Fun/Daddy Pop/And How all started circulating in 2023 (March 2023 for the 4 excerpts). Same for the Face 2 Face/A 1,000 Hugs and Kises/Come/I Wonder snippets (October 2023).

Isn't the "second" version of "Keep On Loving U" a fan-made one?

Note: when I say "circulating", I mean widely circulating (i.e. on YouTube, etc.).

I forgot: Anna Waiting in April 2024, right?

And I haven't kept track of what's new/newish or not on the rehash-fest that is "Blast From the Past 8.0".

As was mentioned here:

https://prince.org/msg/7/471260 (reply 8)

the 'Xenophobia (live in studio)' version has been available for about 7 years, although not noticed in some quarters.

"United States of Division" was a different mix and "Magnificent" was the same mix/version.

either the quality of Magnificent in the 2024 reissue is miles above the old files,
or it is a 'new' mix because I hear things in there I never heard in the other one
and it's my favorite song from the Musicology era.

I'm sure Kares could tell. But so far everyone seems to agree it's the same version.

Is this the “studio” version then? Or is there another that was intended for the album?

An unfinished instrumental version with strings has been around for a couple of years. There was also a teaser video snippet of the strings being recorded shared on Twitter, which was probably the last news from the 3EG era before things turned to Hitnrun, Black is the New Black and the Piano & Microphone tour.

This is new to me. Not doing the rounds AFAIK. I think they're still in confidential circles.

MBN came here once and explained that batch of songs he arranged the strings for with STRINGenius that leaked on some BftP were horribly mixed and nothing like what he or Prince intended (= fanmade).

I'm not sure there is a full version. All I could find was a fanmade 7min 14sec version.
