'ART OFFICIAL AGE' AND 'PLECTRUMELECTRUM'
BOTH SET FOR RELEASE ON SEPTEMBER 30, 2014

| 'ART OFFICIAL AGE' album cover revealed today |
Music icon PRINCE today announces not one, but two, brand new studio albums to be released globally via Warner Bros. Records. The much-anticipated albums are 'ART OFFICIAL AGE' and 'PLECTRUMELECTRUM', set to release on September 30th 2014 in the US. 'ART OFFICIAL AGE' is a solo album and 'PLECTRUMELECTRUM' is by Prince's new band 3RDEYEGIRL.
Both albums, which are sold separately, are now available for pre-order via digital retailers and from http://www.artofficialage.com. Early buyers will be able to unlock 'instant grat' tracks from each record. The album releases will also be marked by a series of very special events taking place globally, to be confirmed shortly.
2014 has been one of the most exciting years yet for the prodigious musical talent. Together with 3RDEYEGIRL, he rocked UK and European audiences into a frenzy with his sell-out 'Hit & Run' tours, generating some of the most significant critical acclaim of his career so far. In April, NPG Music Publishing was launched, marking the first time Prince's vast publishing catalog has been independently controlled and administered in over twenty years. All of this in addition to headlining and curating the Essence Festival on July 4th in New Orleans and a much talked about appearance on hit TV show 'New Girl'. 2014 has underlined that Prince continues to innovate and surprise, thrilling his fans and welcoming a whole new audience in the process.
The brand new studio albums mark a historic return to Warner Bros. Records, Prince's original label home. The renewed partnership came after the announcement that Warner Bros. Records returned to Prince the master recordings of his pioneering '80s albums, including Dirty Mind, 1999, Purple Rain and Sign 'O' the Times.
"Prince is one of just a handful of visionary artists who have truly reshaped and redefined modern music and culture," said Warner Bros. Records Chairman & CEO Cameron Strang. "For the past 35 years, he has never stopped evolving, challenging himself, reinventing his sound, and pushing boundaries. In true Prince fashion, he has just given us not one, but two extraordinary albums that express the incredible range and depth of his talent. All of us at WBR are immensely proud to be working with Prince to bring this brilliant new music to his legions of fans around the world, and needless to say we are thrilled to be working in partnership with him again."

In releasing two albums on the same day fans get the chance to savor the many different aspects of Prince's musical talents with 'ART OFFICIAL AGE' and 'PLECTRUMELECTRUM' offering two very distinct listening experiences.
'ART OFFICIAL AGE' is a classic Prince album, produced, arranged, composed and performed by Prince and Joshua Welton (@joshuaworld). Sonically the record is a contemporary concoction of soul, R&B and funk. The melodies are immediate and prominent as ever and Prince's vocals are rich and solid, taking full advantage of his vocal range with decidedly, seductive lyrics.
'PLECTRUMELECTRUM' is a classic band record, with 3RDEYEGIRL which include Prince, Donna Grantis (guitar), Hannah Ford Welton (drums) and Ida Nielsen (bass). Recorded live and in analog the album is an electrifying funk-rock statement. Many of the tracks from 'PLECTRUMELECTRUM' were performed live on the 'Hit & Run' tours of the UK earlier this year - incendiary performances in a series of historic venues - which led The Guardian to declare "These are performances by one of the greatest funk-rock bands ever." The group was showered in 5-star reviews from all major reviewing media.
More live dates will be confirmed shortly.

Bryan Adams revisits his musical roots on new album, 'Tracks Of My Years,' featuring a collection of cover songs and a new track 'She Knows Me'
"Making the selection of the songs for the album took a long time" noted Adams. "We recorded all kinds of songs until the songs sort of presented themselves, or sounded different enough from the originals. We did about 3 months of recording, spread out over the course of 2 years. Radio was king when I was a teenager," Adams reflected, "you'd hear McCarney's ‘Admiral Halsey’ straight into ‘Kiss and Say Goodbye’ by the Manhattans. Radio didn't discriminate back then."
The critics have issued early praise for Adams’ first album of covers, “…the high is heavenly. With God Only Knows,…he takes words, tune, a piano goes a deal slower than the original, and sings the plain beauty of it from the intimacy of the heart rather than the aesthetics Brian Wilson’s glorious art. Track of the year contender right there.” –Mojo
Tracks Of My Years, the first studio release from Adams since Eleven in 2008, is an eclectic mix of songs reflective of the time when rock was played alongside pop, country and R&B, and follows Adams’ critically-acclaimed acoustic album, 2010’s "Bare Bones" a release that resulted in sold out shows across Europe, North America, Australia and South Africa.

ONO returns with her latest dance single "Angel" (The Remixes); ONO's 11th #1 Billboard chart-topping dance hit
ONO returns to clubland with her latest dancefloor reinvention ANGEL” (THE REMIXES). The set follows her propulsive #1 BILLBOARD CHART-TOPPING DANCE HIT “WALKING ON THIN ICE 2013” (Issue date: 10/12/2013).
With “ANGEL” (THE REMIXES), the boundless visionary teams up with a diverse assemblage of exciting producers, with the first set of remixes including EDM, trap/dubstep and house music titan DANK, along with master remixer DAVE AUDÉ (with 99 #1Billboard club mixes to his credit), tastemaking DJ/producer MIKE CRUZ, as well as rising Dutch dance music producer’s SOUL CARTEL (aka Nicolas Vesters & David van Ansem) to deliver a searing collection of modern reworks of the original “Yes, I’m Your Angel” (from the Grammy Award winning John Lennon and Yoko Ono album Double Fantasy). The poetic song finds ONO at her most rapturous, melodic and tender against a pulsing background of infectious tracks ranging from stadium-rocking EDM workouts and euphoric mainstream house anthems to sweltering progressive floor-fillers and deep tribal grooves.
ONO remains a formidable presence in the dance world and on the club charts. With three essential remix anthologies (Yes, I’m A Witch, Open Your Box and Onomix) and eleven #1 BILLBOARD HOT DANCE CLUB PLAY CHART-TOPPERS under her belt, she not only holds sway with discerning DJs, clubbers and tastemakers worldwide, but has also managed to ascend to the top of the club charts dethroning a slew of contemporary mainstream and electronic pop heavyweights like LADY GAGA, RIHANNA, DAFT PUNK, KATY PERRY, SELENA GOMEZ, AVICII, DAVID GUETTA, KYLIE MINOGUE, CALVIN HARRIS and ICONA POP along the way.
It’s her most dynamic offering to date and a fitting return for dance music’s reigning matriarch who, for more than a decade, has unleashed a succession of acclaimed remixed singles featuring dance and electronic music innovators like PET SHOP BOYS, BASEMENT JAXX, FRANKIE KNUCKLES, DANNY TENAGLIA, R3HAB, STONEBRIDGE, RICH MOREL, MORGAN PAGE, JUAN MACLEAN, DIRTYLOUD and many more.
