Artist: Prince

New Prince track availabe on the Web
By PAUL CANTIN


Just as The Artist Formerly Known As Prince has eliminated one song from his repetoire, he's added "One Song."

After his millennium pay-per-view, the former Prince had vowed he would never perform his party-anthem "1999" again, but at his website (www.love4oneanother.com) he has posted a new song titled "One Song," accompanied by an animated video and stirring sermon.

The track, which is available in the streamed RealPlayer format is a piano/keyboard/drum machine gospel number with inspirational verse given a muscular delivery by The Artist: "I am the universe, the universe is me/I am that One Song, and that song is free."

The visual accompaniment imaginatively animates the songs lyrics, and the entire affair is introduced by the heavily-echoed singer's spoken voice, delivering a dense sermon that denounces artists who create negative, violent work and seems to lament the power-to-the-people primacy of democracy over his preference, power-to-God.

"God being centrifugal in nature, freedom was the cause and choice was the effect," he declares.
