Prince to Release New Album HITNRUN Via Tidal
Prince and his band 3rdEyeGirl will follow up last year’s Art Official Age and PlectrumElectrum with a new album, HITNRUN (formerly known as The Hit & Run Album). It’ll be released exclusively through Tidal on September 7. You can check out the art below.
In a statement, Prince talked about why he went with Tidal:
After one meeting, it was obvious that Jay Z and the team he has assembled at TIDAL recognize and applaud the effort that real musicians put in2 their craft 2 achieve the very best they can at this pivotal time in the music industry. Secondly, TIDAL have honored Us with a non-restrictive arrangement that once again allows Us to continue making art in the fashion We’ve grown accustomed 2 and We’re Extremely grateful 4 their generous support. And lastly, in the tech-savvy, real-time world We all live in 2day, everything is faster. From its conception and that one & only meeting, HITNRUN took about 90 days 2 prepare its release. If that’s what freedom feels like, HITNRUN is what it sounds like.
In July, Prince removed his music from all streaming services except Tidal. (Though last week, he released a new song on Spotify.) His “Rally 4 Peace” concert, which took place in Baltimore, was also streamed by Tidal.
As previously announced, the album will feature “HARDROCKLOVER”.
