People always ask me why I love Prince so much. There are a lot of reasons, but I have to honestly say it is largely because of the music my parents raised me on. While we were a MJ family, P perfectly carries forward the musicians and style of the artists of their time and made it modern. I've been making Prince mixes for a while and made one for the long weekend...it's Prince singing music my parents grew up with and played around the house for us all the time. It was emotionally a lot to hear him singing these songs together both as a reminder that he's their age more or less (a bit younger) and as a reminder he was always about REAL music by REAL musicians. You can hear that influence in all of his work and I love love love that so much!
This is a tool for those of us who have parents or friends around his age...and they side eye you about him. Play them this and if they still question why your love is so deep, there’s just no hope for them lol!

Lots of turmoil over recent announcements re New Power Soul. In response to that, a concept, what if the project was comprised of “purple instrumentals” a la Madhouse 24 from the 90’s? Some original songs, some covers of P’s songs, some covers of others’ songs, but all with the arrangements Prince facilitated…and with the very same musicians he was working with. They could even have multiple volumes for such a project, cycling out band members to cover live instrumental arrangements from the eras…and include anecdotes about working with P on each volume! Something to consider! Real music by real musicians…performed by the same musicians in the way the Professor himself arranged for live performances! This is what it could feel like!

Just as a reminder, I make P “mixtapes”! They are a combination of unreleased, released, live versions, and interview snippets to create a theme. I used to do 4play4themind things on Tidal a while back, but I know not everyone has a subscription there...another option to spread the news about the Professor!
Check em out!
#Prince#until we get got at least#hopefully it'll just be a takedown notice#but there's a TON of his music on mixcloud#if you want to learn more without having to hunt stuff down there are HUGE amounts of unreleased stuff there#never pay for bootlegs#4play4themind#mixcloud#ignore the different sizes i was experimenting
