Elixir by Bria Valente will be released by Prince in 2009. Elixir by Bria Valente joins three new albums from Prince for 2009 profiled by LALATE this week.

Prince says of Valente’s Elixir to the L.A. Times:

“We got sick of waiting for Sade to make a new album. This music is nasty, but it’s not dirty … She’s singing about her lover, who could be her partner for life.”

The Times calls the tracks “chill, with Valente’s buttery voice melding with beats by Morris Hayes and Prince’s guitar lines”.

As LALATE told you earlier this week, Prince will release this year three retail-sold albums according to reports. Tracks from the albums have gotten airtime already in 2008 on Los Angeles’ 103.1 FM.
