As previously reported, Prince and his band 3rdEyeGirl are due to release their new album HITNRUN exclusively through Tidal on September 7. The album is due to follow last year’s Art Official Age and PlectrumElectrum. In a recent statement, Prince has spoken about why he chose Tidal.
“After one meeting, it was obvious that Jay Z and the team he has assembled at TIDAL recognize and applaud the effort that real musicians put in 2 their craft 2 achieve the very best they can at this pivotal time in the music industry. Secondly, TIDAL have honored us with a non-restrictive arrangement that once again allows Us to continue making art in the fashion We’ve grown accustomed 2 and We’re Extremely grateful 4 their generous support“, the statement read.
It concluded saying, “and lastly, in the tech-savvy, real-time world We all live in 2day, everything is faster. From its conception and that one & only meeting, ‘HITNRUN’ took about 90 days 2 prepare its release. If that’s what freedom feels like, ‘HITNRUN’ is what it sounds like“.
#Peace.Love.Prince
