Prince Returns September 30th with 2 Albums of New Tasty Funk

Share

Prince is back! Well, he never left. But on September 30th he’ll release 2 new albums especially 4 U. “Art Official Age” is described as a classic Prince album. “Plectrumelectrum” is with his group 3rd Eye Girl. They’ll each be on Warner Bros Records, which he once declared was holding him hostage. Then he made a nice new deal with them earlier this year and everyone’s happy again. PS September 30th is the Grammy deadline. Maybe that will mean something…

A lot of these tracks are floating around the internet already. Here’s “Funknroll” from the Arsenio Hall show:

The track-listings for ‘ART OFFICIAL AGE and ‘PLECTRUMELECTRUM’ are as follows:
