New Prince Album 'Plectrum Electrum' Coming Soon

By Jason Mitchell /

Consequence of Sound, the payoff to all of this publicity, hype and teasing, perhaps unsurprisingly, is the release of a new, full-length studio album later in the year. Tentatively entitled 'Plectrum Electrum', the new album will be the first recorded with his new band, 3rd Eye Girl. The group consists of Donna Grantis on rhythm guitar, Ida Neilsen on bass guitar and Hannah Ford on drums - as well as Prince on lead guitar and vocals. In May, Prince is set to be honoured with the 'Icon' award at the Billboard Awards. Between now and then, he will be embarking upon a 17-night tour with his new backing band, which consists of two shows per night. The tour is expected to showcase a number of songs from the new album. Are you a fan of Prince? Are you excited about the release of a new album? Let us know in the comments section below.
