Its neat, I like how the album cover comes to life. Mixed in a little live footage.
The mountain silhouette of the woman laying down coming to life was a nice touch too.

I ain't saying its great, but it's a lot better then those lyrics videos that we've seen in the past

Reminds me..
Last summer I went to a concert, on the big screen in the back. It displayed the album covers from the songs they were singing. Then the album covers came to life, we'll i mean animated. It was cool to see such classic covers in a way I've never seen before
Cant believe my purple psychedelic pimp slap pimp2

And I descend from grace, In arms of undertow
I will take my place, In the great below

With a simple AI tool, anyone can do that these days.

Not much effeort was put to it.

-

While there are tons of non--live video footage in the vault, or private video content.

Even snippets of all these, assembled by a pro video maker, coudl make something far more original.

the NC2U video proves that, with only one rehearsal used for a totally different song.

Just sayin'

Good idea, but a pro video maker is way too expensive for the Bare Minimum Estate.

They’d rather sink millions into musicals and the upcoming movies.

It's actually a good video.it would be great if the whole world could view it. Perhaps the should change the name of the album to “Around America in a day “

It's not available in my country but some guy uploaded it to Reddit and I saw it there. But now I wish I didn't lol .

Ah no, that's unfair. If nothing else, it gave me a good laugh. It's absolutely terrible in every conceivable way. It looks like it was made by a 12 year old who is just getting to grips with his new editing software. When it cut to that shot of the shoes spinning around I just burst out laughing. Like, it's so bad it's almost genius lol . I can only assume that the reason they haven't made it available worldwide is because they're embarrassed by it. And rightfully so.

I disagree. Sign "o" The Times was iconic.



Love this video too. But as I remember it, Prince refused to make a video, so Warners made it for MTV and Top of the Pops etc

Do i need a U S passport to see this crafted post mortem video?

Really bad promotion of a release.

The new cd set is sitting right in front of me and this
worthless non-foward action motivates me even less
to listen to the remaster.

DM me and i'll send it to you if you like. wink

People in their 30's are considered kids when it comes to the Prince fandom which mostly consists of people over the age of 50.

Promotion : zero.

After you entered the official Prince.com website, and hit the symbol,

you are still being confronted with the Diamonds & Pearls release first;

"pre-order 10/27/2023"

When you hit the 'news' button; again "D&P 5 september 2023"

Only when you go to the shop, you get 'new releases' and the ATWIAD stuff.

Of the 18 new offerings, only 6 are diff versions of CD's and vinyls.

No new Pop Life video promotion, nothing.

They are so cheap they don't even have a webmaster or somebody in charge of keeping their site updated. On the other hand, let's reckon that's very much like when Prince was with us lol

.

IIRC the various official websites were made by a Belgian company. I bet they got hired by the previous regime, got fired when the new regime took over and the new regime either didn't get the necessary logins or simply are too incompetent to update the site(s). Except for the shop obviously.

Big props to the guy who posted on Reddit for all us non-US peeps. Nice vid. Not really for the song but promoting the album and legacy. The live footage is cool. It’s nice.

That’s where we are - a Prince drop is “nice”.

Cheesy in spots, but overall a fun video. Its nice to finally have a video to this song. Never could figure out why Prince didn't do one for this song back in the day.
