After yesterday’s flurry of new Prince songs and hints that he wanted to go a non-traditional route to distribute his next record, a new track from the Purple One has emerged: “There Will Never B Another 1 Like Me” is currently streaming from the very #6600cc MPLSound.com. It’s a compact, six-minute funk workout with a beat that recalls the coda to “Alphabet St.” and what I’m pretty sure is the first time Prince has ever used the word “e-mail” in a lyric. (UPDATE: According to Matos, he actually had a song called “E-Male” on Emancipation, which was released all the way back in the Mosaic-era year of 1996.) [MPLSound.com; HT RS]

Do I detect Auto-Tune?
Actually Prince has a song called “Emale” from Emancipation all the way back in 1996! It even has the “Goodbye!” AOL sample in it. I realize most people didn’t embrace Prince’s 3-CD opus so it is easy to overlook this gem.
Maura! How could you forget the track “EMale” on the Emancipation record? The purple one has been cyber-savvy from the get-go, even if his attempts at e-commerce have been ill-advised and clunky.
There’s a song called “E-Mail” on Emancipation, from 1996.
I’m thinking that would have been “Emale” from ‘Emancipation’ way back in 1996.
actually it’s “Emale,” sorry. Prince sang a LOT about the Internet back then–and then the disastrous web-distribution scheme for Crystal Ball happened. sigh.
haha Chris N. and I have each xposted.
I should have known you’d be on that.
I dig the track. The “Whoo!” is straight out of “New Power Generation.”
My website used to be that color!
all the Jonesy Jukebox MP3 are @ [www.urb.com]
@Bong14:

Well these other 4 are fun. Between the Crimson & Clover / Wild Thing and the Hendrix-y thing, he’s sounding more classic rock-y than usual, but it’s still really fun.
The Urb link is still live, so hit it asap. Good look, “yussel”
Careful, or the Internet sheriff will come in and shut you down.
