At first, i couldn't understand why he was doing it, he was only paid £250k by the Mail, which is pocket money for someone like Prince. But it's a genious piece of marketing.
Gets all his new music to a potential 3m people, the vast majority of which would never consider buying the album. Huge media coverage about the controversy leading to higher interest in his back catalogue as well. And i understand he's playing 21 arena dates later this year, which he's now bound to sell out, whereas before he would have perhaps sold out only a handful of dates.
I can't really see it becoming the norm though, perhaps a few other papers might try jumping on the bandwagon at first, but i don't think there are enough acts in Prince's position ie not really needing the money from album sales.
But yeah, he is a bit freaky, not really my cup of tea

He's stupidly talented and can play something like 27 instruments.

I was trying to tell Cat the other week that I didn't get the point of Prince.
She didn't really speak to me after that.

Cracking musician that for the best part has made shite or stuff the ears appreciate as quality work but as enjoyable as a half hearted hand job from a fat bird.
Yeovil I had you as a News of the Screws man all the way. What are you doing with the Mail on Sunday?
