Nice move in the Napster community: they have announced that rock star Prince will debut and promote his new single exclusively to Napster users.
Napster said "The Work - Part 1" will be available online as of Friday, April 6. The piece is the first track from Prince's upcoming album, "The Rainbow Children," slated for release late this year. |
In Price's own words, "What record companies don't really understand is that Napster is just one illustration of the growing frustration over how much the record companies control what music people get 2 hear - over how the air waves, record labels and record stores, which r now all part of this 'system' that recording companies have pretty much succeeded in establishing, r becoming increasingly dominated by musical 'products' 2 the detriment of real music."
Prince has already released several singels in the past through his own website but this is the first one on Napster. Great move.
