Written, Produced, Arranged, Performed... What more can u say. This man is a genius. My favorite song on each album is underlined. This is the song that I would run 2 only this particular album 2 hear. Sometimes I like a live, alternate or remix version better than the original. It's hard 2 pick just one. But if I picked more than one, there would b underlines all over the place.
As of February 2009 he has yet 2 release my namesake song. Check out the page 4 hard 2 find items here.
Definition of genius = 32 years in the business,

Crystal Ball was only a 5 CD set 4 those who pre-ordered through 1-800-NewFunk. The in-store version did not have Kamasutra. Beautiful classical music piece. That's a true loss.

It's not a mistake that I underlined the segue. It's the song that plays on my intro page. It can't b left out 'cuz I always included it b4 playing "Man 'O' War".

I don't think "Empty Room" works here. It just feels off. He could have written another city title with an 'E' or even Eurasia. That's gotta spark some C-Notes.

::3121:: ::Lolita:: ::Te Amo Corazón:: ::Black Sweat:: ::Incense and Candles:: ::Love:: ::Satisfied:: ::Fury:: ::The Word:: ::Beautiful, Loved and Blessed::::The Dance:: ::Get On The Boat:: |
If he ever performs "The Dance" live, this may be the last album I hear because I'll just die. It's so intense and beautiful.

"Planet Earth" 2007 NPG/Sony
::Planet Earth:: ::Guitar:: ::Somewhere Here On Earth:: ::The One U Wanna C:: ::Future Baby Mama:: ::Mr. Goodnight:: ::All The Midnights In The World:: ::Chelsea Rogers:: ::Lion Of Judah:: ::Resolution:: |
I don't know about this one. It was hard to pick a song. Sadly enough because I didn't really like any of them enough 2 say it was my favorite on the album. I liked a lot of aspects of "Mr. Goodnight", "Guitar" and "Somewhere Here On Earth" but there wasn't enough of a shift to say I like one better than the other. I don't know what made me think the lyrics would be mostly about being green and saving the planet. Oh well. That's what I get 4 expecting. Xpectation invites the possibility of dissapointment.

From what I hear around the purple circles, Prince is about 2 drop 3 new albums in one shot. He's done this before and they were great albums. I'm excited 2 see what the 'Lotus Flow3r' album has in store. I won't be Xpecting anything this time . He has allowed previews of some songs from the album to escape; "Colonized Mind", "Wall of Berlin-Forever" & a cover of "Crimson & Clover" which includes Hendrix' "Wild Thing" played on a UK radio show and "Colonized Mind" and "Disco Jellyfish" are at his new web site along with a "Another Boy" by a new artist he is working with named Bria Valente. I love his guitar work so this album should be a treat.
