Hey all! Hope this newsletter finds you well.

UPDATE:

FDELUXE RELEASES A NEW FREE DOWNLOAD!

OK, we have been bad. We went into hiding for a few months, but that doesn't mean that we haven't been working.

To prove it, we are offering you a brand new song called GASLIGHT, featuring Susannah.

Remember, this is only a rough mix!

Click HERE to download it.

Please let us know what you think of it.

SO WHEN'S THE RECORD GOING TO BE DONE?

We were beginning to wonder that ourselves. The good news is that the record is about 80% mixed, so we plan to have the record FINISHED by August 1st. One of our fans called it "the biggest tease ever!" We won't let you down.

THEN WHAT?

Once the music is done, we begin our search for the best way to deliver this music to you.

After 3 long years, we want to make sure that we find someone who believes in this record as much as we do.

Hopefully this process will be a quick one. Wish us luck!

THANK YOU!

On behalf of Fdeluxe, I would personally like to thank each and every one of you for not losing faith in us...

It has been a long road, and we aren't finished yet, but it WILL BE WORTH THE WAIT!!

Keep your eyes open on our Facebook page for announcements such as live streams of our recording sessions.

Don't forget about Twitter as well!

My parents TRAINED me on keeping my mouth shut about things. Some of us know how the people we look up to and respect may not like things we do or listen to. I know my family didn't like Hip Hop that I liked back in the day when Emcees/Rappers started cursing and having the parental stickers that Prince made famous by the way from his Purple Rain album.

I heard that, fam. I may need counseling 2 stop arguing with my peeps over the genius. But even they were shocked when I didn't get angry after the junk they were talking. I loved his speech & just his presence overall. It's just that itty bitty part threw me off. He was referring 2 the young artists out there in saying that they didn't have 2 make the same mistakes. If it was personal, he shouldn't have any reason 2 say that 2 the artists out there. Because he is VERY guarded about his personal life & no one would have a clue what he meant. I'm more than sure that the young artists know next 2 zero about P's private life. So it wouldn't have made any sense 4 the genius 2 say that. So by him not being more specific, it opened up a lot of drawn conclusions. ..including dissing what made him a rich icon. If it weren't 4 his younger days, he wouldn't have been on stage receiving this honor.....or his induction in2 the Rock N' Roll H.O.F. & other honors.

But even with his debatable statement, dude is the definition of GREAT!!! It was SO cool just 2 see him. And I'm sure that he'll say that it was good 2 b seen.

I don't think anybody got what he was saying save just perhaps Bria, Mayte, Mani or someone who's spent an extensive amount of time with him. I'm the point now where I could care less what anyone thinks save "us" on the Yahoo! Groups and some members of some of the Prince Fan Forums I'm a member of. I am so used to defending him that it makes me look like a fanatic. Which I am hardcore and everyone that knows me knows that, if I allow them in my "inner circle", so to speak. I thought P's speech was very humble and direct to the point. It sounded like he was talking to us and himself. It kind of reminded me how sometimes I've heard my parents say, don't make the same mistakes I have. It's in the same "vein". I do not feel he was talking about the "music" he may have been talking about his business decisions or perhaps things he said in the moment of passion about this or that. I
> believe he is in "full control" when it comes to interviews and speeches. He always has had some form of control but, he is a master of his own destiny and not many artist can boast what he can.

> U all know what? I was hoping that P would have made it plain & get deeper on what he meant by that. If he's talking about his music, I am confused. Why? Because from day 1, this genius had a positive message generally in his music. He may have took an abstract way in delivering his message. But it was positive nonetheless. And is his past works & per4mances were "mistakes", his "mistakes" sure made him who he is 2day. Not 2 mention, made him crazy RICH! And pretty much influenced about a billion artists...myself included.
>
> And my family members & a few of my friends started attacking him after that statement. Which made me wish that he would've explained it in detail even more. They started saying stuff like "he should be talking about his mistakes on YouTube & that Hip Hop crap instead of dissing on his career!" I couldn't argue or defend his statement because I, myself didn't get where he was coming from. It did kinda made it seem like he was discrediting his marvelous and, in my opinion, his BEST work & per4mances in his "wild" younger days. Prince ALWAYS had a positive message. Maybe he was misunderstood. But that didn't mean it was negative. I wish he NEVER said that statement. As an artist, I would LOVE 2 make those so-called "mistakes" that he did.
