Prince Continues To Redefine The Modern Music Age Speaking Directly To Fans And Sending Retailers Into Chaos
Always a musical innovator and icon, Prince is once again leading the charge into a new music distribution landscape, redefining tradition and setting new precedents. As well as having taken the innovative step of giving copies of his new album "Planet Earth" away with concert tickets to his London O2 dates, Prince has new plans of putting music directly into the hands of fans. In association with the Mail on Sunday publication, Prince will deliver his new album "Planet Earth" to nearly 3 million readers in the UK on July 15th.
This plan has shocked the music industry and set local retailers into chaos causing major controversy about the new future of music retailing as presented by Prince. This news comes on the heels of announcing a final 6 shows of Prince's record-setting 21 Nights in London which have been swept up by record demand.
A spokesman said, "Prince feels that charts are just music industry constructions and have little or no relevance to fans or even artists today. Prince's only aim is to get music direct to those that want to hear it. Prince famously took a stand against Warner Records in the nineties when he went on strike and appeared with the word 'slave' drawn on his cheek. Subsequently, he regained control of the publishing rights to his work, and broke down the existing system through his innovation."
Prince, ever a creative genius and forward thinker by nature, has set a new standard with his latest plans in the UK for €œPlanet Earth.€ He continues to define on every level what it means to be an artist.
