New Prince album 'Plectrum Electrum' (2 Viewers)

[Hastur]

Just heard the song 'Funknroll' he played on Arsenio Hall.

Funky. Not George Clinton funky, but funky nontheless.

Interesting stat that may only interest me: In his entire album releasing career(22 albums), he has never gone more than 2 years in between albums. This one took 4.

What, 'Rectum Spectrum' was already taken?

From what I have seen/heard, Prince apparently is always writing and recording songs and only releases a small portion of the music for some reason.

As a side note, here's some amusing insight into Prince from Kevin Smith . . .

I once heard he has several hundred completed songs recorded and 'collecting dust'. He could literally release an album every month for several years straight if he wanted.

Eta: Anarchy beat me to it

He makes lots of money from other people doing them. For example IIRC he made more off Nothing compares 2 you than Sinead did.

Manic Monday is another song he must have made a mint off of.

Arsenio Hall has a show right now?

 

[Abraham]

Manic Monday hit #2 on the US charts behind Prince's own song "Kiss."

Nothing Compares 2 U is the biggest hit for another artist, but he also wrote "Feel for you" for Chaka Khan, "Pray" for MC Hammer and "Stand Back" for Stevie Nicks, which is an awesome song.

Arsenio Hall has a show right now?

Yes, it is called Good Morning Black America. It is on every weekday at noon.

Legend. These are all unreal. Learning more about this through the picks in the Dealer Draft.

"Feel For You" is my favorite out of all these. But "Pray?"...no wonder why MC Hammer actually had a good song.

Had no idea. I knew they had worked together a bit but didn't realize he had written that. Don't Stevie and Prince seem like kind of an odd couple?

 

[Baloney Sandwich]

Is the album released yet?

 

[Hastur]

Is the album released yet?

No. Still TBD

No. Still TBD

Hopefully he tours

 

[Wrigley]

Like the song, does he really need the dancers?

 

[Ramsay Hunt Experience]

New stuff was OK. The version of She's Always In My Hair was fantastic. Like he took the D'Angelo cover version and said, "yeah, I like how you bumped up the guitar, that's cute. Watch this."

Prince got a writer's credit on "Stand Back" but it's an overstatement to say he wrote it.

The story I heard was that Stevie really liked Little Red Corvette and was inspired to write a song in a similar style. She apparently talked to Prince on the phone about it and he showed up and played keyboards when she recorded it. Doesn't sound like he wrote much, if any, of the song, but she listed him as a co-writer. The chord progressions are very similar to Little Red Corvette.

Probably giving him credit for inspiring the song and playing. Heck, it's not like he needs the cash.
