3121 Significance?

I got a request for some clarification regarding the title of Prince's newest album (see post below.)

As with all things related to Prince, there is a lot of speculation and very little info that can be verified as truly authentic. As such, I chose to give you the most plausible-sounding theory and most oft repeated by reliable-seeming sources on the title and its significance:


  • Pronounced thirty-one twenty-one, the number refers to the address of his home in the Hollywood Hills, where he regularly entertains celebrity guests and hosts all-night jam sessions. Also, the release date of the set’s first single, “Te Amo Corazon,” was Dec. 13 (12/13), which is 3121 backwards. Additionally, the running time of the second single, “Black Sweat,” is 3 minutes and 12 seconds. As previously reported, the March 21 (3/21) release date of the set was chosen to coincide with the title. Interestingly, the numbers do add up to a sum of 7, also, which is a number Prince seems to dig.



    I would also like to share with you the opportunity to win a custom Prince "cloud" white Schecter guitar. This is a fully-functioning replica of the guitar used in "Purple Rain." Just go to http://prince3121sweeps.com/ and register to win the one and only Prince cloud guitar.

  • They reran the SNL where Prince was the musical guest. I thought about calling you, but it was after 11 p.m.

    I'm not a huge Prince fan, but the first song he did was AMAZING!

  • I wish you would have--I still haven't seen it! What is this song??? From the new album (which is BTW FANtastic!) Thanks for the nice Prince comment--everyone's always so silently indulgent--I appreciate the effort. :)
