Prince returns to major-label ways

After years of shunning major label advances following his 'SLAVE' days of woe, Prince has once again hopped atop the big boy saddle: his new album, 3121, will see the light of day through Universal.

2004's return-to-form, in critical ears anyway, Musicology had the cheque books waving once more, but few could have predicted that Prince would again sign up with a major player. Maybe he's, y'know, a little skint these days?

The first single from 3121, 'Te Amo Corazon', comes with a video directed by Hollywood actress Salma Hayek and features actress Mia Maestro from The Motorcycle Diaries. The video will debut on Prince's own NPG Music Club on December 13th.
