Prince announced that he has signed an exclusive deal with the music-streaming service Tidal to release his new album, HITNRUN. A longtime advocate for artists’ rights, Prince recently began removing his music from most streaming services.

Dam Funk Returns With His First LP in Six Years. Dâm-Funk has followed up 2009’s five-LP ‘Toeachizown’ with his latest epic, ‘Invite the Light.’ On Invite the Light, in addition to a return from Snoop, the roll call has expanded to include: Flea, Q-Tip, Jodi Watley, Ariel Pink and former Ohio Player and “One Nation Under a Groove” writer Junie Morrison, to name a just few guests. The album is nothing if not epic and ambitious in scope: It takes the listener on a sonic journey from the early days of funk (think Mothership Connection or Ohio Players’ “Funky Worm”) to the boogie and modern-soul era of the Eighties before moving into some intergalactic freakiness.
