PRINCE: ART OFFICIAL AGE

Prince & 3rdeyegirl

The Purple One is set to release two albums on the same day. Mark your calendars—September 30th! Prince might be aiming for total domination and he's more than capable of pulling it off. ART OFFICIAL AGE is a solo album aided by Joshua Welton. The second offering will be titled PLECTRUMELECTRUM, and will feature 3RDEYEGRIL. The latter will be the debut recording from Prince and the all-female band. His Purpleness was quoted as saying, "No one can play like this band... People are going to try, but they won't be able to." If you're interested in pre-ordering either of these releases, click here. In all, there will be 25 tracks, with "FUNKNROLL" being the only song to appear on both. Rumors are swirling about a potential tour. Please come back to The Bay.

Purple Reign

Prince continues to roll out new music with his band, 3rd eye girl and the New Power Generation. As far as I'm concerned, he's one of the most genuine rock and rollers alive, while being equally intelligent and virtuosic. Recently he took over the rebooted Arsenio Hall Show, unleashing three stellar songs and impressively partaking in an interview. He opened with the freshly minted, Funk N Roll. Also played on the air were Mutiny, and his classic, She's always in My Hair. Currently no one else in music is able to match his ability to mesh rock, funk, pop and whatever the hell else he's willing to weave into his tapestry of genius. And by the way, who the hell else could pull of that wardrobe without being totally bashed by both fans and media? There's only one Prince, we should be thankful for the many musical gifts he's given us. Be on the look-out for his upcoming album. Below is a string of videos showcasing his material, as well as, his unique and inquisitive personality. All hail the Prince.
