Prince spoke recently on the current state of pop music by stating that it's a "bad time for music". The legendary artist spoke to the New York Post and was asked his thoughts on artists such as Tame Impala, The Weeknd, and Miguel being influenced by his work.
Far from being flattered, Prince responded with, "There might be music that sounds like me, but what good is that? You're essentially in the feedback loop." He added: "It's a bad time for music in general. There's not a lot of pop music in the mainstream that makes you feel scared, that makes you wonder what's happening."
Prince is also set to release new LP 'The Hit & Run Album' with his band 3rdEyeGirl via Tidal this month. This will be his 35th studio record. He also released two albums in 2014, 'Plectrumelectrum' with 3rdEyeGirl and the solo LP 'Art Official Age'.
Prince recently explained his decision to partner with Tidal: "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 to, and we're extremely grateful for their generous support."
Since then, Prince has removed his music from all other streaming services and his soon to be released LP will be exclusively available through Tidal only.
