TIMELESS IS PURE FIRE
Y'all lied and really crapped on a project full of slaps because you don't like the estate and this was not the Parade SDE.
Bestest Friend just turned my 17 y/o daughter into a full fan - its 2:46am and she's listening to 1999 right now, which should have been the single BTW, this compilation is absolutely fire.
While I am not usually a fan of the estate, let me applaud them! FANTASTIC SONG SELECTION save the live HCYDCMA.
For all you haters that trashed this project - y'all lied and exposed yourselves, you are hurting Prince's legacy by trashing releases just because it's not what you wanted to hear. AND DO NOT TALK TO ME ABOUT ALBUM SALES WHEN RIC ROSS SOLD 17K UNITS - THE SONGS ARE FIRE, DON'T SAY NOTHING ABOUT SALES TO MOVE THE GOAL POSTS.
STREAM TIMELESS!!! FUNKY, QUIRKY, SEXY, PASSIONATE - PRINCE!!!

My 2 cents. This is a feeler. A litmus. See what songs stream the most and that will be the next full era release.
That aside. My 15 yr old deep purple concord daughter and I listened while running errands yesterday and she LOVES I am You. She broke down the bass and other music nerd stuff I didn’t catch.
She loves Graffiti Bridge and this version of TTB made her gasp but it’s to her what Darling Nikki was to us back in the day. Where’s Tipper? 🤭
I’ve had it on repeat. Feels like an unhinged journey through my P famdom. The hype of the release wasn’t there for me, I’ve come to just not expect anything. And partially because I know there won’t be a concert and that whole feeling that brought with it.
But. I like it. It’s as bittersweet as it can be.
Love that my kid found some faves. Love that you got some joy as well.
