My next single is called Drifting.
We shot the short film in Hollywood, but I never wanted it to feel like it belonged to a specific era. It uses the past without living in it.
SIGNAL 001 is the first look at the world we built.

I am THRILLED to once again be hosting a #Prince roundtable panel for @polishedsolid upcoming virtual event, and this one will be all about the 3121 album, an album that means a LOT to me! It's on Sunday 15th November.

Opener is a three way tie
"I ain't a killer but don't push me, revenge is like the sweetest joy next to getting p....."
"TO ALL THE KILLAZ AND THE HUNDRED DOLLAR BILLAZ"
"Rappers I monkey flip em with the funky rhythm I be kicking"
What are your favourite opening and closing lines to a rap song?
My contenders -
Opening: "It was all a dream"
Closing: "I guess I didn't know the ledge"

Yep. I'm one of the few people that has heard it, because someone involved with the track played it for me. I don't want to break trust and say exactly who, but not only did they play me the song, they played it from the multitrack session and isolated Michael's vocal and some of the instruments.
It's astoundingly good.
Now, as far as it coming out? D'Angelo Estate might have a hard time with that. My understanding is that Epic and the MJ Estate own the rights, because it was commissioned for the "Xscape" album, and didn't make the cut.
From what I was told, there was a disagreement about whether Mary J was the right person to be on it, with at least one stakeholder suggesting she be replaced with a different female singer (I also know who the replacement suggestion was, and frankly I think Mary is a better choice and did a stellar job).
My guess is, unless a LOT of money changes hands, Branca and Epic aren't going to let that one go so easily. This ain't like the Drake/Don't Matter To Me situation, and that one cost Drake a lot of money to get it, too.
@DamienShields and @CaseyRain been told us about “Hot Fun In The Summer Time!!!”

She's not even anywhere close to the same league, and people misunderstand Prince as being a pop artist when that was simply one lane that he operated in.
At any given time, Prince was just as likely to make an instrumental jazz album (Madhouse, NEWS), a rock-opera (Glam Slam Ulysses), an acoustic guitar album (The Truth), a classical/ballet project (Kama Sutra), a straight up blues rock record (Undertaker) or any number of different types of project, as he would be to make a pop record.
That's why putting Prince in the same lane as anyone who has solely spent their career making mainstream pop music, simply doesn't make sense.
He was happy to visit that place sometimes. He did not live there.

Magician's Nephew is arguably Lewis's finest work, and yet has never previously been adapted to film, unlike "The Lion, The Witch..." which has had a ton of adaptations. You cannot truly understand Aslan, Jadis, or Narnia without knowing it.
This will be well worth a watch.
The trailer for Greta Gerwig’s ‘NARNIA: THE MAGICIAN’S NEPHEW’ is set to Led Zeppelin’s “Stairway to Heaven.”
Marking the first time the song has been granted permission by the band to be used in a film.

Hooking up the PCM70 unit for the song we are working on at EastWest Studio Five today! Fellow purple gear heads may know that Prince had them both at Sunset Sound and Paisley (all three studios), and that it was a core part of the Diamonds and Pearls production sound as well as Miko Weaver's guitar rig.

When my management (who worked with both Prince AND MJ) AND my A&R (who worked with Prince, U2, Bonnie Raitt, Katy Perry) are both headed to the Hollywood studio, you know the temperature in the kitchen is turning up a notch.
And maybe, just maybe, they both just saw the cut of the "Drifting" video too 🙃
Put that in your group chat where you love speaking my name. Pretentious? But you just keep eating it up! 😅

I've been laid up in bed all week with COVID. I wasn't aware of the uptick in the UK until after I'd flown out to the US, and so didn't think to mask on the plane & the timeline lines up for me catching it on the flight. It has been a REALLY bad variant. Stay safe, folks.

What happened was wrong, and I hope it doesn't happen again, but this is the correct way to resolve it. Finally - we get to hear it as Prince left it, which is what we all wanted. I hope this provides some closure, as we move towards the next release. Them having found additional versions is a nice touch.

Breaking my self-imposed Twitter hiatus briefly to tell you that the final Jam & Lewis show of their Vegas residency was LIT. Special appearances from Yolanda Adams, Lo-Key, and JEROME BENTON! Shanice and Ruben Studdard killed it, band was tight, and Jimmy and Terry of course were amazing. Great stuff @flytetymejam @flytetymelewis - so glad we made it out!!!
