Fresh from announcing plans to self-release three whole new albums in 2009, the Purple One has launched a new website, LotusFlow3r.com. The site features streaming tracks (which you may remember from a few weeks ago), a wee Purple Rain screencap and Prince's usual disregard for the fact numbers are not, in fact, interchangeable with the alphabet. And, in time, the site promises to become the go-to spot for purchasing his three new albums (and not healing runes and guardian angel bookmarks as the iTunes-meets-new-age-bookstore artwork might suggest).
Recently, Prince revealed to the L.A. Times that two of the upcoming records are under the working titles MPLSOUND and Lotus Flower. MPLSOUND -- a vowels-optional reference to the star's Minneapolis turf -- is said to be "electro-flavoured" Prince. As for Lotus Flower, the Times says that the purple-hazy guitar tracks leaked in late December -- including "Crimson and Clover," "Colonized Mind" and "Wall of Berlin" -- are expected to appear on that disc.
No word yet as to when the full albums will surface, but new songs "Crimson and Clover," "There Will Never B Another 1 Like Me" and "Here Eye Come" are currently streaming online at LotusFlow3r.com
