It would be mind-blowing if it was actually newly produced music, as opposed to simply being previously unreleased music.

Prince fought fiercely to own the rights to his recordings...

Whatever his other failings as a person, he was a smart businessman.

I never did care for a thing this guy did. So, I’m filing this in my GIVAZHIT file.

By some accounts there are literally hundreds of songs fully produced, mixed and ready to go that Prince chose not to release. Some of them are described to be, by people who worked on them really good songs. I’m not a big Prince fan, it I am curious to see what’s in the vault.

I’ve been underwhelmed, to say the least, by every posthumously released album (save records like Sublime’s that were already produced to be released when the artist died), but I’ll reserve judgment. Wasn’t a huge fan of his style, but he was definitely an icon.

Previously unreleased = not good enough for a previous album.

I have a feeling Prince will have a larger influence now, than when he was alive.

He was sort of a modern Mozart, where music flowed from his brain, almost uncontrollably.

He got hung up on commercial issues and drugs, whilst still creating.

An artist’s life.

There’s always a reason that stuff wasn’t released in the first place.

From what I have heard of Prince music, he will be ‘singing’ an octave higher then most women.

Prince stopped blowing my mind when he broke up the Revolution

Frankly, Prince’s last decent music was on Sign o’ the Times in 1987! After that, it was all self-indulgent crap.

we’re getting some stuff mixed right now.

I know firsthand that Prince had over 500 songs mixed and mastered in his vault in 2001. By the time of his death I'm sure that count doubled, at least. Re-mix Prince at your peril. The songs that I've heard from the vault are exactly how he wanted them to sound.
