It's marketing also. Who would buy an unknown artist without first hearing at least a couple of tunes on the radio or online somewhere and maybe on a talk show or video? This way at least the fan base buys her album and get 2 Prince cd's with it. I think Tamars Milk and Honey album could've done respectable numbers on its own.

Actually, what we were told was that prince would release 3 albums this year. So I guess that's out with the trash and we're only getting 2 cds and one from Bria. Pretty disappointing and especially disappointing if one of prince's cds turns out to be instrumental! Wow! that would suck!  We can always hope for a tour right??
