Prince Source Well it seems that Prince is full of surprises this year. Last month Prince starred as a guest artist in the New Girl TV show, where he actually premiered a new song with the beautiful actress Zooey Deschanel, find more about it here. Another surprise is the fact that Prince actually signed a new deal with Warner Bros, after 17 years apart, which means that he gains the ownership of his back…
Source Well you might be asking yourself what do Zooey Deschanel and Prince have in common. Maybe the Zooey Deschanel fans who watch the tv series New Girl remember the episode when Prince guest starred and played ping-pong with Zooey, talked about pancakes and also sang a song together. So, we are talking here about that song from the New Girl series episode, the full version of it, they didn’t record…
Source Very nice artwork by Sam Spratt Dance Apocalyptic is one of the songs from Monáe’s upcoming album, The Electric Lady, which is set to be released on 10th September this year. The album also features Prince (yes, that music legend). I bet you are going to like this video, first of all because it’s kind of the first time when I see Monáe with her hair down, and dressed kind of casual for…
Last night, every concrete beam in the massive Madison Square Garden shook as Prince brought his “Welcome 2 America” show to the city of New York, the last leg of his tour. He played every hit marvelously, proving although he’s a megalomaniac, a lunatic or one big asshole, in short, that he’s still the purple guitar god. What came as a total surprise to everybody however was when Cee-Lo Green took the stage next to…
Famous miniature person, Prince, has recently decided that rather than selling his new album, 20Ten (ugh) in shops or online, he would distribute it exclusively through unremarkable British newspaper, The Daily Mirror. Which is wonderful and admirable: free music from the likes of Prince is nothing to be sniffed at. Luckily, he’s given me something else to sniff at.
After they’ve released a more or less successful [tag]Prince[/tag] cover compilation record, in the form of Controversy, a while ago, the fine folks from Rapster are back with yet another cover song compilation LP, this time featuring artists influenced by the great [tag]David Bowie[/tag]. Matthew Dear, Carl Craig, Kelley Polar, Au Revoir Simone, Joakim, and the Thing are just a few artists who cover the Thin White Duke on “Life Beyond Mars: Bowie Covered”. The…
Yes, you’ve read it right folks, Prince has been added to this year’s Coachella lineup, as a Saturday (4/26) headline, joining other acts like Breeders, Portishead, MMJ, Kraftwerk, or Roger Waters. When he’s not suing fans, his royal majesty, Prince, actually makes some music. To be honest I pretty much despise Prince for all that he represents, but while it’s clear I’m not anywhere near being a fan, I have to admit he’s a great…
It seems more and more bands are starting to release their material through unconventional and exclusive distribution methods. Only this year there’s been [tag]Paul McCartney[/tag] with his Starbucks Memory Almost Full, the famous [tag]Prince[/tag] Verizon mobile released single “Guitar,” [tag]Eagles[/tag] comeback album “Long Road To Eden” released exclusively in Walmart stores and a lot lot more. We live in a digital age of piracy, so I guess artists have to find new ways of promoting…
Looks like [tag]Radiohead[/tag]’s latest independent approach to album promotion and sales, basically giving away their latest LP for how much you see fit, has sparked a wave a of revolution amongst the influential bands in the industry. Yesterday it was time for Trent Reznor and NIN to join in, after terminating their contract with their label and announcing “some exciting times for 2008.” Today we’ve found out that [tag]Oasis[/tag], curently unsigned to any label, are…
When i first read this post on stereogum i couldn’t help my self and laughed my ass off! It appears that the rock star Sinead O’Conner got in a little verbal and physical altercation with Prince, after she did a cover of the classic Prince song “Nothing Compares 2 U”. Guess who won ? The girl, right ! “At the time he had a lot of female proteges and I had covered his song [“Nothing…
