NPNY: Fwd: OnlineSpin: Is Prince A Genius?
This is an article my boss just fowarded me... ** Subject: OnlineSpin: Is Prince A Genius? X-Mpmember: [EMAIL PROTECTED] From: MediaPost Publications [EMAIL PROTECTED] Wednesday, July 25, 2007 Is Prince A Genius? By Cory Treffiletti [IMAGE] As always, I like to scour the press to find new and innovative methods for marketing your products and services. Since my primary hobby involves music, much of my press-time is devoted to the music industry, which, as we all know, is in a rather dire situation. That's due to the ongoing decrease in CD sales and the continual movement toward digital, which makes it more difficult for the labels to make the margins they were so used to in the past. That being said, there is one artist who continually finds new and interesting ways to get his albums into the marketplace. That artist is currently and once again for the foreseeable future, named Prince. Prince just released his 473rd CD (probably not that many, but the guy does have an impressive catalogue of music) titled Planet Earth. From the reviews I've seen, this album represents a return to form for his purple majesty, but the way it was released is most interesting. Prince attached a copy of his new album to every issue of London's Mail on Sunday on July 15, so that everyone who bought the paper also picked up a copy of Planet Earth. According to the methodology that Soundscan uses to report album sales in the U.S., that could translate to a very large number of sales in its first week. Soundscan is a product of the Nielsen company and is used in the U.S. to track album sales and put together the album charts. It only works in the U.S. and Canada, so this little trick won't do it right now. But the equivalent tracking in the U.K. should see some very interesting sales numbers! As can be expected, music retailers in the U.K. were not so pleased about this and in retaliation, they've decided not to sell the new album. I guess that would be bad if actual album sales revenue mattered to the only Prince not able to wear a crown in England. If you remember a number of! years a go, Prince sort of went off the reservation a bit and changed his name to a symbol in protest of his label, Warner Bros, which at the time, would not allow him to manage and distribute his music the way he wanted. Eventually his contract expired and Prince went indie, deciding to manage his own development and distribution, and the results have been pretty amazing. Prince now is able to get his music into as many hands as possible and still make a living! He's launched a number of albums since then, of which his last two efforts sparked minor hits (Musicology and 3121). Musicology sparked a similar controversy because it ended up in the top 10 for a number of consecutive weeks due to the genius marketing idea that everyone who purchased a ticket to see Prince live also received a copy of the CD. Everyone with a brain knows that Prince is one of the most incredible live acts on the planet, and his shows always sell-out, so of course, the inevitable sales appeared to put Prince back into the mainstream! This was all capped by an amazing performance on the Super Bowl, where Prince ripped out his usual numbers, as well as some numbers by Dylan and the Foo Fighters. Needless to say, people were impressed. In an industry that is continually crying foul and complaining that they cannot make money anymore, there is a ray of light that shines from artists such as Prince, my all-time favorites Pearl Jam and I-write-way-too-many-albums-each-year Ryan Adams. These artists are all independent, in some cases, working with labels only as a source of distribution, but they use digital media and the numerous tools at their disposal to do what they love -- create music -- in an efficient manner. It allows them to make a comfortable living, meaning own a nice home and a decent car. They seem to be having fun, too! So next time you hear about how the music industry is wasting away as a result of digital medi! a, Visit www.3121.com to see what Prince is up to. Chances are, you'll see someone making quite a business for themselves, and a model that should be hitting the labels squarely in the head! And for more kicks, check out www.pearljam.com and www.ryan-adams.com and see how other artists are using the Web to get their music out there. Post your response to the public Online SPIN blog.

Re: NPNY: Planet Earth Anyone Buy It?
You mean baby knows? I like both of those songs but again my opinion. We all have music styles we like. And styles of Prince music we like. I really haven't liked his ballads on the last few albums - I want another adore, insatiable, do me baby. I don't think Call My Name, Satisfied, Future Baby Mamma really live up to it. My favorite song of the last few albums is Black Sweat which some of you probably hate - but I love the falsetto, straight funk groove Prince.

RE: NPNY: Planet Earth Anyone Buy It?
I don't think he is trying to make hits, we have been conditioned by the industry to think that older artist with new music are trying to make hits. True in some cases but not for Prince. It only takes 2 brain cells to have a hit (example: this is why I'm hot, beautiful girls/suicidal) I think that Prince is missing a muse, someone or something to inspire him or spark him creatively. But we all know he has it in him to do better, or even dust off some of the jams out of his vault that haven't been released or bootlegged. Shoot, even do a whole cover album, I love to hear his interpretations of EWF's I Write A Song For You or Stevies Superstition. Moderator: I too am straving for something innovative and creative... -Derek -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Lockhart, Daryle [GSM] Sent: Wednesday, July 25, 2007 10:15 AM To: npny@lists.panix.com Subject: Re: NPNY: Planet Earth Anyone Buy It? For those of us who were alive when Prince started, we're all around the age where this division of opinion is a good thing. It's just like how there are still people who go to every Rolling Stones and KISS show, knowing that the best days of those bands have long since passed. They're going to relive the good old days. The difference with Prince, I think, is that we all KNOW that he can do better, and there's the question of all this genius unreleased stuff he has just sitting around. Do any of you who say you like this album believe he can't do any better? This is a dude who sold hundreds of thousands of copies of Lovesexy, a one track album. I think Lovesexy has more musical depth than Planet Earth, and if the only reason why is because he's older now, then perhaps he's done. I personally hope not, because there isn't exactly any one else out here challenging the musical (and corporate) status quo like him. On the average, it looks like everyone has 3 or 4 songs that they like from this album. Compared to entire ALBUMS we've liked from him in the past. I think that says something about an artist of Prince's caliber. And what I think it says is that he's trying to make hits, which is a bad move.

Re: NPNY: Planet Earth Anyone Buy It?
See, I thought he was on to something with Black Sweat. When I heard it, I thought ahh Prince is back on track! then the rest of the album left me completely confused. I think if Planet Earth was D'Angelo's comeback album, for example, people would line up in the streets and throw stones at him. If any other artist tried Future Baby Mama we'd be talking about how RB is dead. But because it's Prince, we're letting it go. I like when Prince plays hard. Extended versions. Solos. Funk. But I also like when he has something to say. Even when he was preaching to us, he had more moments than 3 out of 10. Moderator: yeah I have a major issue with ghetto RB and I was willing to give Future Baby Mama a pass because it was prince. At least its not My Wifey or You Remind Me Of My Jeep or something romantic like that :-D -Derek On 7/25/07 10:23 AM, Andrew Stanger [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: You mean baby knows?

That is no excuse. If so then you are unfairly putting him on some higher plane..consistently. As I've said before, he could put out something completely mindblwoing but yall dont deserve that because in this day and age your ready for the next release or next movement five minutes after you've digested the current stuff. Even if the current stuff is up to your standards. Hardly any Prince fans take th time to process some music and gice it chances to grow on you threw expereinces WITH IT (having a song come on when your ata bbq, at the beach, partying, having a deep conversation etc). You guys who whione and cry about the music being crap are basically just as empty as the music you claim is crap. Metaphorically speaking that is.

not the quality it was in the past, and he surely can use some creative
inspiration. The recent stuff is average. I still love him for his

You know, this is a brilliant point. A Muse. A LOT of artists we love need
new muses. It's like when Stevie Wonder had Syreeta around, his work was
incredible! Nowadays, we get What The Fuss.
I wonder, though, is Prince's best muse himself or us? His live shows are
hands down great, and that's been pretty consistent for 30 years. It's the
RECORDED work that seems to vary in quality. Maybe he needs to record all
of his future albums live?

Re: NPNY: Planet Earth Anyone Buy It?
Yeah, but with Lovesexy he said it with great music and a style all his own. Planet Earth has the same message, but the music is much to be desired. [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Lovesexy was quite laughable. He is saying the same things in the same ways but now we are older we are able to see its laughable. Point: aint nothing changed cept yall became cynical. Deservedly so maybe. But yall arent thinking clearly about the whole picture. Ya been Housequaked..prince orged..amped..bamboozled...

Only because of nostalgia do we all think it was great: and only because he toured with that sorry album. TRC as a religious themed album (albeit more strict or whatever word I cant think of right now) was a lot more on point musically. Only AnnaStesia and Positivity are interesting. The rest of that shit is what yall call wrote in his sleep sing a long ish. Dance On? Come on now.

NPNY: Planet Earth
Well I dont think its the greatest album I do think lyrically its pretty damn cheesy...but 4 the time being I am really digging Mr. Goodnight (despite the rap), Chelsea Rogers Somewhere Here on Earth. The rest will have to grow on me. I don't always expect perfection from Prince. At least its something new to listen to.U all ain't never satisfied!! BTW - I don't think the 3121 perfume smells like an old lady but its a damn weak scent. - NewPowerNewYork Mailing List website: Www.NPNY.Org - Unsubscribe?

Re: NPNY: interesting
SonyBMG Music Entertainment uses an ad agency, Universal-McCann in New York, to place interactive (online) ads for their releases. They placed ads for Planet Earth beginning last week. top search is a huge advertising business. Top search results are often bought. One of the only cases where this is NOT true is when you do a search for NPNY. Unless, of course, Derek has some marketing budget he hasn't disclosed.

Re: NPNY: interesting
No, they differentiate between a search that says Prince and one that says Prince Charles. Since his album was just released, I can't imagine it is a coincidence and people are just randomly searching about the word prince. No biggie; just interesting.
