2013/4

2013 begain with the launch of 20pr1nc3.com, on 22 January. It’s arrival sparked particular excitement amongst fans because it marked Prince’s return to the internet since the closure of his previous online portal in 2010. Although 20pr1nc3.com was intended to provide a range of exclusive videos and potentially new music, it ultimately offered only the three videos that it was launched with, Screwdriver Live (8:09), as Prince launched 3rdEyeGirl.com on 5 February, replacing the site just a month later.

3rdEyeGirl.com was Prince’s first website to offer downloads since the closure of lotusflow3r.com in 2010, and was created to promote his new backing band 3rdEyeGirl and their tracks – each download available at $0.88. Unlike Prince’s previous websites a membership subscription was not required. 3rdEyeGirl.com also offered full song videos for purchase as well and later promoted the dates of the band’s Live Out Loud Tour.

On 28 June 2013 3rdEyeGirl.com was relaunched as an information giving website only. Its downloads were transferred to a separate and dedicated website 3rdEyeTunes.com that same day. The website was removed in August 2014 and its domain forwarded to a Warner Brothers store page taking pre-orders for the release of Plectrumelectrum. In addition of offering tracks for purchase others were freely available and released exclusively on social media – these accounts were likewise deleted on 25 November 2014.
