The Foreign Exchange x ?uestlove „Purple Flip“ (Prince Tribute)

?uestlove ist eine großer Prince Fan. Das wissen wir spätestens seit den 20 ?uestions an ?questo. Als Michael Jackson am 25. Juni verstarb, ging folgender Tweet an seine über 500.000 Follower raus:

prince, u r still alive. i love and appreciate all the art you contributed to my life. aint found you yet on my network. but eye no u hear.

Nun haben ?uestlove und The Foreign Exchange den Song „Purple Flip“ „veröffentlicht“. „Purple Flip“ wurde vor über einem Monat auf einer von ?uestlove orgarnisierten Prince „tribute party“ den Song „Purple Flip“ aufgenommen.

Auf Nics Site schreiben Tay von Nic von The Foreign Exchange (?):

We recorded this over a month ago specifically for a ?uestlove tribute party dedicated to The Purple One himself. Other than passing it off to a few DJ friends who vowed to keep it on some secret squirrel, „bet you aint up on THIS!“ status, no one has ever heard it. In the wake of the incredible loss we suffered on June 25 however, this joint took on somewhat of a deeper meaning.

We decided to share it with our fans not only as a token of appreciation, but also as a way of paying respect to one of our last living musical geniuses.

Let’s not wait until tragedy strikes before we show love and gratitude to our heroes, people. Give them their flowers while they live.

This one’s for you, Mr. Nelson. You are loved and appreciated.

Puh.
