New Prince Tracks Previewed on Los Angeles Radio


Los Angeles' Indie 103 had the privilege of previewing Prince's new album, in it's entirety, with the musician himself before getting permission to preview four of the new tracks on-air. According to reports, the album is a very guitar-heavy rock record.

At this time, there is no release date for the album as Prince is without a label, and he's happy that way. According to a radio station spokesman, Prince “wants nothing to do with record labels, so he’s meeting with people to figure out how to operate at his level without a record label.”

Rolling Stone reported on the radio preview of the four tracks:

A cover of Tommy James & the Shondells' Crimson in Clover with altered lyrics and vocal effects.

Colonized Mind, with lyrics accusing record companies of theft.

Wall of Berlin, which RS said had a vibe similar to the third side of Jimi Hendrix' Electric Ladyland.

4ever, a slow love ballad.
