Prince Video - "Somewhere Here On Earth"

A snippet of Prince's new video "Somewhere Here On Earth" has just been released! I personally love this song, the tune is gentle and beautiful. In addition, in this video Prince tried to portray a story about love, pain, and honesty. It's a charming jazz piece, and I am sure that any Prince fan will love it. The video was shot in Prague and directed by Phil Griffin, who has a very impressive resume of videos with all kinds of famous artists.

I've just updated this post with a YouTube video, the one from Dailymotion didn't work anymore, enjoy and Merry Christmas!

New Prince Video: "Chelsea Rodgers"!

Check out this new video of Prince "Chelsea Rodgers" filmed in one take at the Matthew Williamson fashion show last September. I love this song soooooooooo much and the clip is great!

I also red something really interesting on 3121.com: "Chelsea WAS a clothes model but now she just designs and wears them. We’ve been told 2 xpect a whole new batch of wicked T-shirts on the next leg of the tour!" Is there going to be another tour and if so where and when??? Can't wait to know more!

Watch "Chelsea Rodgers" Here!

Purple Rain - Best Soundtrack of all Time!

Prince's 'Purple Rain' has been voted the best film soundtrack of all time.

The album, which accompanied the 1984 film of the same name in which Prince starred, tops a list of the 50 Greatest Movie Soundtracks compiled by the editors of Vanity Fair magazine.
The magazine's bosses said: "The 'Purple Rain' soundtrack is a flawless combination of funk, R'n'B, pop, metal and even psychedelia into a sound that defined the '80s."

'Purple Rain' spawned several hit singles, including 'When Doves Cry', 'Let's Go Crazy' and 'I Would Die 4 U', and during the year of its release Prince topped the US film, singles and album charts at the same time.

In second place was The Beatles' 'A Hard Day's Night', while the soundtrack to 'The Harder They Come' came in at number three.

Prince Invites Amy Winehouse for Christmas!

Prince has asked Amy Winehouse to join him at his Minnesota mansion (Paisley Park) to record some tracks with her. What an amazing opportunity this is!

A source says "It’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and she would love to lay down some tracks with him. But she can’t stand the idea of being away from her beloved Blake. “Prince has made it clear this is a business trip, so he’d prefer her to come alone.” In Amy's own words: “I’m honoured. I’m a massive fan too. I would love to work with him.”

Frankly, Amy should really take this amazing opportunity, and just forget about her husband. I think that at this point she should embrace music rather than drugs.

Prince's last performance at the 02

All good things have to come to an end and tonight Prince's fabulous run of 21 concerts and aftershows will end. Eventhough I was only able to attend one concert and one aftershow during Prince's 21 days of residency in London, I enjoyed hearing all about it from fans that attended all other concerts. I have fond memories of the concert I attended and will never forget August 17th. I hope that I will have more chances to see him in concert in the near future, you never know what Prince will do next. That's what I really like about him too, expect the unexpected.

In his honor I have created a special playlist with random songs he has done over the past 30 years. If you can't find that special Prince song you love so much on this playlist let me know, and I'll try to find it for you! The Special Prince Playlist is on the right side of my blog next to my other playlist. Feel free to stop my automatic playlist and play PRINCE instead!

I'd love to hear comments, stories, impressions etc... of anyone who attended Prince's concerts in London and/or aftershows. Feel free to share your experience here, I'd love to share mine with you!

Don't forget that two songs from Prince's final show will be aired tonight (Sept. 21) at 8:30 pm (EDT time) on Sky News, I'll be glued to my tv!

Prince live on Sky News!

This is the most exciting news of the day for me! I will get to see Prince perform once again!

Prince will be exclusively airing two songs live on Sky News on Friday night (September 21). The airing will mark the last of Prince's marathon 21-date residency at the O2 Arena in London.

Prince had previously banned all photographers and film crews from his live shows at the venue, but live footage from the show will be broadcast from the O2 Arena on satellite channel 501 and online as well, from 8.30-9pm (London time). Prince is not charging for the footage, which will be released worldwide after the exclusive showing on Sky News.

Of course I would much rather be there myself, but this is such a nice surprise, hey and my birthday's on the 22nd so this is the best present I could have!

Prince on the catwalk!

LONDON (Reuters) - U.S. pop star Prince had fashionistas at London Fashion Week on their feet on Wednesday when he staged a surprise performance at Matthew Williamson's catwalk show.

The diminutive singer, who is playing a series of concerts in London at the 02 Arena, at first appeared to be only a front row guest at the spring-summer 2008 collection.

But the usual fashion scene became a pop concert venue when a Prince track struck up and the first two models onto the catwalk -- a pair of identical twins -- started to dance.

Prince, wearing a black suit and hat, then began singing into a microphone from his seat before jumping up and performing from the start of the runway flanked by his band.

By that time, many in the audience, who included musician Sting's wife actress Trudie Styler, were on their feet snapping photos with their mobile phones and clapping as he sung his hit "U Got the Look."

"He really wanted to do this, and you don't say 'No' to Prince," Williamson told Reuters TV after the show.

After the unexpected start, Williamson, who is celebrating 10 years as a designer, sent models down the catwalk in richly embroidered skirts and dresses.

Striped jackets -- a theme throughout London Fashion Week -- were offset with bold splashes of blue, pink and orange.

The show closed to the strains of Prince's "Kiss" from his best-selling 1986 album "Parade."

Wow what a show this must have been, wish I'd been there!!!!

Breaking News: Prince seeks to 'reclaim the net'!

Prince is threatening to sue YouTube, eBay, and Pirate Bay as part of a legal initiative to "reclaim the internet" from rampant piracy.

Here are bits and pieces of the Guardian Unlimited who just published this news, to read the entire article click here.

Lawsuits relating to Prince's material will be launched in the US and UK as part of a campaign led by anti-piracy firm Web Sheriff, which is representing the star.

The Web Sheriff managing director, John Giacobbi, said the extent of piracy online has become "ridiculous", spanning videos, music downloads, bootleg merchandise and unlicenced ringtones.

"99% of the stuff online is totally unauthorised," he told MediaGuardian.co.uk.

n the past two weeks, Prince's legal representatives have requested the removal of around 2,000 illegally uploaded videos from YouTube.

Prince joins a queue of media entities planning to sue YouTube. In March, MTV owner Viacom announced a $1bn copyright infringement suit against the site, and in May the English Premier League said it would also sue.

Prince "wants to create a template for other artists", he added. "Prince doesn't really want to go around suing people - he'd much rather people just respected his rights. He will be victorious."

My thoughts on the matter:

I have to admit that I love watching all the various videos I found of Prince performing live or videos of his songs. I am a huge fan, and unfortunately I only saw him perform once this year. Therefore, you could understand why I love these videos so much. At the very least, Prince could control what should go on YouTube and what shouldn't but at least leave us with something. I will always be a true fan of Prince, and I do hope that he's planning on releasing more of his music under his own terms but please give us more.

Prince we love you and we'd just love to see as much as possible of you, your music is perfection, no one else gets even close to what you can do.

I'd love to hear your thoughts on this matter!

I just found some nice pics and short clips of Prince at the "Bourne Ultimatum" premiere and after party, enjoy!

Prince Concert: August 17th!

Prince's concert was amazing, I feel so fortunate to be one of the lucky people to have seen it! Seeing him play guitar live is simply mindblowing!

Unfortunately, he didn't show up at the after show and it's really too bad because I was just a few meters from the stage. However, his band made a great jazz performance. Marva King performed a great version of "Tell ME Something Good". Shelby performed "Tears Dry on their Own" and "Crazy". I heard that Maya performed at 2:30 am but I didn't stick around for her performance as I thought that the show was over after the NPG left. Maya was also the support act before the concert started and sang some songs of her new album "Liberation". I'm not a fan of Maya, therefore I don't think that I'll be a good judge of her performance but I saw some fans having a great time.

Well I hope that I'll get another chance one day to see him either in concert or at an after show concert, I can assure you that seeing him once is not enough!

The only problem I encountered during the concert was drunk people. I really encourage to go easy on the drinking when going to any concert, it's not fair on those of us who simply want to enjoy the show. Some people were behaving pretty badly, spilling beer on people and being way too noisy.

It's a good thing that I'm such a huge fan of Prince, because I just ignored all of these people got into the music, danced, sang and enjoyed it to the max!

Prince's Planet Earth Lyrics

The lyrics for Prince's new album Planet Earth can be downloaded here: 3121

So if you want to know more about his new songs don't hesitate to visit 3121.com.

Here are some details about his new album, but if you don't have your hands on your own copy of this superb album then don't hesitate to listen to it on MuchMusic or MSN Music

Musical genius and cultural icon Prince is back at the cutting edge with Planet Earth. Masterfully delving in myriad styles and flavors, this bold new record marks an extraordinary stylistic growth from an artist whose catalogue seemingly couldn't be topped. From head-bopping rock to soul-heavy funk to rich and sensual smooth jazz, this multi-textured and brilliant album is perhaps Prince's most eclectic and excellent album to date.

Things quickly heat up with the hit first single, "Guitar," on which the legendary axe man totally rocks out the title instrument, crafting one of the most addictively catchy and air-solo inducing tracks of the year. Cool and sexy, this blazing rock number assures us that Prince is once again at the top of his game. On the tenderly beautiful "Somewhere Here On Earth," the artist displays his most sensitive side, crafting a deliciously smooth jazz ballad with a delicate piano sound and sensual muted trumpet, all behind Prince's gorgeous and intimate falsetto. With his remarkable new album, Prince once again proves himself as being among the most influential songwriters, singers, musicians, and producers on Planet Earth. (source)
