Did anyone listen to the sheezus tracks?
I was going to but decided I just wanna digest the album as a whole when it comes out. How are they?
Pinkprint better open with an iconic Mariah diss track. She'll have plenty of time to respond.
Get ready to bop to this glitchy electronic vagina anthem :gaycat:
The video is coming in 3 days
About to see Elle. I only know the lights song.
"Cruel World has been my favorite track from Ultraviolence ever since I recorded it"
Prince has returned to Warner Bros. Records after 18 years with a deal that will see him regain ownership of his catalog. His classic Warner albums like "Dirty Mind," "Controversy" and "1999" will continue to be licensed through Warner Bros as part of a new global agreement.
As part of the deal, Prince's classic "Purple Rain" album will be re-released in a remastered deluxe version in time for the 30th anniversary of the album and movie. Other planned re-issue projects will follow and Prince will issue a new album too, although it is unclear if that title is a part of the deal.
"Everyone at Warner Bros. Records is delighted to be working with Prince once again: he is one of the world's biggest stars and a truly unique talent" Warner Bros. Chairman and CEO Cameron Strang said in a statement. "We are also very excited about the release of new and remastered music from one of his greatest masterpieces."
In 1992, Prince signed a lucrative deal with Warner Bros., but their relationship suffered when the label would not put out his music at the pace he wanted. In 1993, he changed his name to an unpronounceable "love symbol" and scrawled the word "slave" on his face. Warner Bros. then dropped its distribution deal with Prince's Paisley Park imprint, putting it out of business. The Artist, as he was then known, put out his single "The Most Beautiful Girl in the World" on an indie, which Warner allowed and subsequently put out records culled from the Artist's vaults, releasing albums under both the Prince name and symbol.
The 18 core studio albums Prince released for Warner Bros. during those years are, of course, just the tip of the iceberg: The man was and is a monstrously prolific artist, and literally hundreds of unreleased tracks from that era alone reportedly exist, along with material he svengali'ed for other artists, multiple remixes and re-recordings of individual songs, not to mention audio and video footage of his many tours during those years.
To say that the concept of intellectual property is important to Prince is a monumental understatement (for more on that, see last year's Billboard cover story). Presumably in anticipation of today's deal, in recent years he has spent an unprecedented amount of money and resources ensuring that his music is kept off the Internet: just try finding the video for "Raspberry Beret" or the "Sign O' the Times" concert film on YouTube if you do, it won't be there for long. And while hundreds of vinyl and CD bootlegs containing unreleased material from the Warner Bros. years proliferated in the first quarter-century of his career, that material can only be found online in carefully hidden overseas websites and digital files.
Consequently, Prince's Warner Bros. archive represents the most significant catalog of unreleased material of the past 40 years. Every other major artist from the Beatles to Nirvana, from Dylan to Michael Jackson and beyond has either cleaned virtually everything worthwhile from the vault, or (in Jackson's case) the unreleased material does not date from a creative peak.
Prince
omg
I thought this day would never come

I'm not listening to any live Lana snippets until I hear the studio versions first. I think it ruined my enjoyment of West Coast >_>
Not Prince's old records being dusted off being a more interesting prospect than some girls' brand new albums.

Like you won't be perched next decade when Gaga officially releases a bunch of unreleased songs with her successful albums in a last-ditch effort for relevancy.

But who said Gaga will release stuff from the psychiatric ward?

Nah Nicki knows better. She's since praised Mariah since AI and still respects the legend as the rest of you should.
No Doubt is releasing later this yearHas anyone read that Gwen Stefani is apparently replacing Xtina on The Voice? Does this mean she might have an album coming? :3
No Doubt is releasing later this year
I’m gonna love ya
Until you hate me
And I’m gonna show ya
What’s really crazy
You should’ve known better
Then to mess with me harder
I’m gonna love ya, I’m gonna love ya
Gonna love ya, gonna love ya
Like a black widow, baby
The A.V. Club: How do you decide what songs are yours to sing and what songs are someone elses?
DW: If I write it with someone else and they want to sing it, its for them. My philosophy for several years has been that if Im writing a song and cant imagine myself singing it, its probably not any good.
I feel a freedom to cover my own songs, or almost an obligation to try them out onstage as a way of testing to see if, Oh yeah, this is actually good, this actually works. Last year I did a gig in L.A. and I decided that I was going to sing Treacherous, a song that I had written with Taylor Swift. It was so fun to sing and it communicated so well that I was like, Oh, this is a really good song; I could sing this to my people.
AVC: Whats the process when youre writing with someone else?
DW: It depends on how they work. With Taylor, we had been kind of circling around, very much aware of each others work for a while. We figured out these two days to work together and she came to my studio super excited and said, I had an idea in the car. And she sang me the first three or four lines of it and said, I want to call it Treacherous and maybe the chorus can go like this. And we were writing the song in 10 minutes and she was just so full of excitement.
Its interesting because I find that shes very sincere and very what-you-see-is-what-you-get. When you see her on an award show and she wins the award and she looks astonished, thats how she looks when youre writing a song and you come up with a good lyric or a good melodic idea. She looks amazed; shes like, Whoa! Shes just like that. Shes also very consistent and a monster songwriter.
AVC: Shes 24 years old. Shes allowed to be sincere.
DW: And thats the kind of person youre dealing with. Shes that way from beginning to end.
Judas is very underrated. It's better than Bad Romance. It's Lady Gaga's best single.
Has Golden Boy been posted? It's an outtake from Kiss Me Once.

So there's a Dan Auerbach mix of West Coast that sounds like the original... but with clearer vocals? I think?

I'm completely here for Mariah vs Nicki diss tracks. But Nicki has already said a bunch of ish that Mariah has yet to really respond to.
