Prince has a lot in store for us this 2009. The diminutive purple one is set to release three albums this year! According to the LA Times, Prince is in negotiations with a major retailer to distribute the albums. He will also be selling them on a new interactive website. Prince commented on why he wasn’t working with a record label this time saying “The gatekeepers have to change.” The first of the three albums to be released is tentatively called ‘MPLSOUND’ for which the style is described to go back to the sound of ‘When Doves Cry’. The second album is called ‘Lotus Flower’ and is described as “a varied album, featuring cuts recorded over the course of two years, but standout tracks include some heavy rockers.” I can’t wait to hear the new music!

It’s comeback season once again as 90s rockers Alice In Chains are reportedly working on a new album. It’s been more than 13 years since they’ve been in the studio to work on new material. The new stuff will feature their new singer William DuVall. Their original mouth Layne Staley suffered a fatal drug overdose in 2002. What do you say, grunge rockers? Personally, bands with new singers, especially those with a hardcore following, don’t do so well. it’s all about letting the spirit of the old singer leave on. Fans would rather see a new band, even if it had old faces, instead of trying to recreate what they had before.
