New Prince Songs - Listen to Four New Songs!!!


Prince summoned Los Angeles’ rock radio station Indie 103 to go up to his house last week to preview his new album!

Since he doesn't have a record label or manager, Prince is currently figuring out how he will release his new album.

About the new album:

“It’s heavy, rockin’, and our enthusiasm was immediate,” Mr. Shovel said from Indie 103. Prince then said the station could preview a few of the new songs on Indie 103.

Four songs were played yesterday on Indie 103: "Crimson & Clover" (a cover of Tommy James & the Shondells’), "Colonized Mind" (which is my personal favorite out of the four songs), "Wall of Berlin", and "4ever".

If you haven't heard Prince's new songs, then I've got a nice treat for you!





Read a review from Rolling Stone magazine about all four songs here.

This is all very exciting, it means that a new album will be coming out soon, and that we'll hear a lot from Prince in 2009!
