PRINCE - N*E*W*S

  • Prince: n*e*w*s
        (2003, cd, --, npg records)

Filling some gaps in my Prince discography, I finally got hold of "n*e*w*s", one of Prince's 2003 albums.

Relaxing and meditative improvised jazz / fusion. Featuring Eric Leeds with whom Prince did the Madhouse project.

According to some sources, "n*e*w*s" is Prince's lowest-selling album.
I quite like it. I don't remember why I did not buy it when it came out. Probably because I lost track with all the NPG digital releases and such...

Anyway, I do like "n*e*w*s". 
4 pieces: 'North', 'East', 'West' and 'South'. All exactly 14 minutes long.
The digipack folds open in a funny way, showing a compass.


Probably meant to offer some guidance in our strange world which, in today's world, might be more applicable than ever.
