Los Angeles' Indie 103 had the privilege of previewing Prince's new album, in it's entirety, with the musician himself before getting permission to preview four of the new tracks on-air. According to reports, the album is a very guitar-heavy rock record.At this time, there is no release date for the album as Prince is without a label, and he's happy that way. According to a radio station spokesman, Prince “wants nothing to do with record labels, so he’s meeting with people to figure out how to operate at his level without a record label.” Rolling Stone reported on the radio preview of the four tracks:
* A cover of Tommy James & the Shondells' Crimson in Clover with altered lyrics and vocal effects.
* Colonized Mind, with lyrics accusing record companies of theft.
* Wall of Berlin, which RS said had a vibe similar to the third side of Jimi Hendrix' Electric Ladyland.
* 4ever, a slow love ballad.
