Prince 3-Disc New Album for Pre-Order!
At the end of last year an abrupt news came from Prince to launch a new album with 3 discs in 2009, followed by his new songs released on the radio and web. In February another surprising announcement was made that the CD format of the new title would be sold NOT via record companies but only through major retail chains (later confirmed that it would just be TARGET chains, headquartered in Minneapolis, Prince's homeground), which again caused much media
Come to think of it, however, for Prince who actually launched his 2007 album "Planet Earth" as a FREE attachment to a British tabloid paper "The Mail On Sunday", this type of distribution is probably nothing much to be surprised of.
As for the content of the new album, it comprises 3 discs: the 1st is "LOtUS FLOW3R" which featurs lots of guitars, while the 2nd "MPLSoUND" is electronic and has been produced in a totally new method of recording. The 3rd "ELIXIR" is actually an album by a new female artist Bria Valente produced by Prince. Some of the materials e.g. "Crimson & Clover", "Here I Come" and "(There'll Never Be) Another Like Me" are already available for check-out on www.lotusflow3r.com!
*Please be advised that the item is of limited availability and may be delivered later than initially scheduled.

Prince Quick Discography
1978 「For You」
Aged 19, Prince self-produced and recorded this debut title, showing a glimpse of his genius.
Recommended: Mildly erotic "Soft & Wet"
1979 「Prince」
A latently sensuous self-search. Lots of light, pop dance tunes.
Recommended: The original of Chaka Khan's smash hit "I feel for You"
1980 「Dirty Mind」
Obnoxious, evil and outrageous. Boldly sensual.
Recommended: Best on the dance floor "Dirty Mind"
1981 「Controversy」
Way too political and promiscuous at the same time.
Recommended: 7-mins funk "Controversy"
1982 「1999」
A masterpiece full of social anxiety and brilliant self expression. May suffice to say this is "funk behind closed doors".
Recommended: Prince's first big hit "Little Red Corvette"
1984 「Purple Rain」
Full of pop standards and amazing, funk genius oddities. A step towards the general public maybe.
Recommended: The tune that shook the pop world "Purple Rain"
1985 「Around The World in A Day」
With love from Paisley Park. An album bizarre & extraordinaire that shocked the general public. Colourful with lots of different types of tracks packed like a collage.
Recommended: Cutest song ever on earth "Raspberry Beret"
1986 「Parade」
The soundtrack of his majesty's mega failure that is "Under The Cherry Moon". Nevertheless the music accompanying it is a masterpiece.
Recommended: "Kiss". No explanation required.
- The Revolution split up.
1987 「Sign Of The Times」
Grooves. Intensity. Booties shaking. All the tracks are simply perfect. 2-disc album.
Recommended: Outrageously funky "Housequake"
1987 (production) 「Black Album」
Was about to be launched anonymously, but eventually went into oblivion. Pitch-dark, heavy funk album.
1988 「Lovesexy」
Chaotic. Shocking. Danceable.
Recommended: Wonderful sense of time and tempo "Alphabet St, "
1989 「Batman」
Another soundtrack (to his own film, again). Thin and light but that's part of His Majesty's charm.
1990 「Graffitti Bridge」
George Clinton, Time, Mavis Staples who appeared in the film under the same title and renown Paisley Park artists get together to flash out some excellent funk.
- The New Power Generation formed.
1991 「Diamonds And Pearls」
Adventurous and colourful, with deeper funk. His Majesty tries out some rap on "Get Off" and becomes the center of debate, yet again.
1992 「Love Symbol Album」
Dramatic and open-air light funk.
1994 「Come」 The album that was (to be) the last under the name Prince. Light, good-time funk classic.
1995 「Gold Experience」
1st release as The Artist Formerly Know As Prince. Top album of the 1990's and no doubt about it. Break of a new dawn.
1996 「Girl 6」
The soundtrack for a Spike Lee Joint film. Unknown classic. A piano-acoustic track "How Come U Don't Call Me Anymore" is just awesome.
1996 「Chaos And Disorder」
The last album off Warner recorded in just 2 days. A mixture of rock/blues/gospel/funk/pop, with lots of live-show feel.
1996 「Emancipation」
His Majesty opens up a new ground. Open, literally "emancipated" sound characterises most of the tracks. 3 discs that contain great dance/ballad/alternative tunes.
1998 「New Power Soul」
The 3rd album under the name of the New Power Generation. Familiar Prince funk.
1999 「Rave Un2 the Joy Fantastic」
Softness and beauty resides side-by-side with silent attack, with lots of catchy, pop tunes that hint at Prince's peak years as a pop artist.
2001 「Rainbow Children」
Quality jazz funk, but without the creativity that was Prince's trademark. Still boasts real high quality, nevertheless.
First Live Album
2003 「N.E.W.S.」
Instrumental title. His Majesty split apart.
2004 「Musicology」
His Majesty is back to his own roots!
2006 「3121」
A total return of Prince the genius! Heavy, pitch-dark funkness and lots of playfulness in one!
2007 「Planet Earth」
His Majesty finally emancipated? High quality pop and well focussed.
2008 「21 Nights」
A photo essay + live CD in one package - boasts the sense of beauty according to His Majesty the Prince.
