Prince Aims To Please in '09

Filed under: Prince

Prince is gonna hit us hard in 2009.

The original diva is set to release THREE albums this year!

According to the LA Times, Prince is in negotiations with "a major retailer" to distribute the albums.

He'll also be selling them on a new and interactive website.

As to why he's not working with a record label this time, Prince says, "The gatekeepers have to change."

The first of his three new albums to be released is tentatively titled MPLSOUND and "is an electro-flavored solo effort recorded at Paisley Park Studios." One of the songs even features a Q-Tip rap.

The style is described as going back to the sound of When Doves Cry.

His Lotus Flower is described as "a varied album, featuring cuts recorded over the course of two years, but standout tracks include some heavy rockers — especially the apocalyptic "Dreamer," which Prince said was partly inspired by the radical black comedian Dick Gregory."

Can't wait to hear the new music.

Prince only gets better with time!

      ALL SOUNDS LIKE A BUNCH OF CRAP.

      AND WHERE DID THEY DIG THIS HAS-BEEN QUEEN UP FROM?



    2. 2

      Shut the fuck up Perez. This douche bag hasn't made listenable music since the 80's.



    3. 3

      The man needs hits!!!

      Prince sucks and if they play that 1999 shit again, I'll break it.



    6. 6

      Not a fan of Prince's music, but he hardly sucks. Those that say it have no idea about music at all. He's a musical genius. That doesn't mean you have to like his music or him. I don't, but I realize the guy has talent.

      I am more concerned with that underage girl he married or was dating or whatever.. weird.



    7. 7

      I'm shaking in anticipation……..NOT…



    8. 8

      I think Prince and I could have some interesting mutual please-ation.



    9. 9

      Wow. Three more albums I won't be buying.

      Dude is over-rated.



    10. 10

      People are just afraid of his music because it doesn't sound like every other shit song on the radio.



    11. 11

      I will not be purchasing the albums. I can tell already they will suck ass. He rocks 80's style, but he just doesn't have it anymore.



    12. 12

      Well, I for one, am looking forward to whatever Prince comes out with -I'm a Minneapolis girl & have loved him since I first heard "I wanna be your lover" way back in the day….I dont love each & every one of his songs, but I do like most. he's different, & I like that - and his shit makes me DANCE!!!!

      You are infinitely uglier on the inside than you are on the outside Perez.

      While it will be nice to hear new music, it doesn't sound like a good business decision….

    25. 25

      Can't wait ’til he tours with his new hip and purple walker. Sun City women will throw their diapers at him.



    26. 26

      Prince ROCKS!



    27. 27

      The teeny man is really a genius. Unfortunately, you have to disregard him if you want to enjoy his music because he is one fucked up individual. He looks so chicky-fragile. I'd like to snap his little girl spine.



    28. 28

      I SOOOOOO LOOVE PRINCE



    29. 29

      Perez Hates Me °°



    30. 30

      Yay!!! Can't wait :)
      Prince still rocks my world and has done so for many years.
      Those who say he sucks are totally CLUELESS.



    31. 31

      I LOVE Prince!! He is super talented and I applaud his audacity and courage to show people that you can be androgynous and still be damn sexy!! Dude, have you seen Purple Rain?? I cry every time I see that movie and every time I here that song

      We should all support those that dare to be themselves in a world of conformity and prejudice.

      PLUS- Anderson Cooper loves Prince too. (Is Anderson Cooper the perfect man or what?)

      don't hate- CELEBRATE!!

      Prince, you have to let me work on this album, it sounds cool. Oh, and please make a Purple Rain II…but do it like the original movie.



    33. 33

      Wow, this is great news. I can't wait for new music from Prince. He is showing these young kids how it is supposed to be done



    34. 34

      I can't wait to hear this!

      PRINCE IS A WIERDO! WITH HIS SYMBOL..WHERE IS HIS CRUCIFIX? AINT HE A WITNESS?



    36. 36

      Prince was, is, and will always be one of the sickest artist EVER. He could tell you how is mama got in a car wreck and still make you cum by the story. That's why I wear the symbol on my back.



    37. 37

      I loves me some of this little purple man's music! I listened to "Another Lonely Christmas" as my holiday theme, though I wasn't lonely at all. It's just a really beautiful song, as are most of his others. *sigh*



    38. 38

      We all have our own taste in music, but to those who say Prince isn't a musical genius, or hasn't made "listenable music", maybe you should expand your mind and actually take another listen. And I'm not just talking about the "Purple Rain" stuff…..Perez is right, he just gets better with time!! NO ONE does ballads better, and the funk just flows through his veins! I have heard some of the new song from one of the new albums and love them. Can't wait for all 3 cds and the tour that is sure to follow!!

      Re: sugarglitter

      Yeah, although I'm a prince fan, you may have a point there.

      But I still think he's a sexy old fart! :)

      LOVES IT! :)
