RELEASE DETAILS
Date: November 25, 2013 Catalogue: NPGM070
Format: Digital Single (WAV) Country: Worldwide (via 3rdeyetunes.com)
Track: “Da Bourgeoisie” – 3:23 (with added horns)
THE STORY
Released on November 25, 2013 via 3rdeyetunes.com, “Da Bourgeoisie” followed a leak of a horn-less version one week earlier.
Prince responded by issuing an official version with added horns, transforming the track into a fuller, more defiant funk statement. Written, produced, and performed by Prince with drums by Hannah Ford, it stands as a snapshot of the early 3RDEYEGIRL era — direct, unfiltered, and unconcerned with commercial expectations.
CONTEXT & NOTES The track emerged during the early 3RDEYEGIRL period, reflecting Prince’s playful yet pointed late-era creativity. The leak-and-response release pattern highlighted Prince’s evolving relationship with digital distribution and fan communities. While not tied to a larger album project at the time, it fits comfortably within the raw, live-band energy of 2013–2014.
