THE STORY
Released on November 23, 2011 as a digital single, “Extraloveable” marked the long-awaited public debut of one of Prince’s most famous unreleased tracks. Originally recorded in 1982 but shelved due to controversial lyrical content, the song was completely re-recorded in 2011 and issued to promote the Welcome 2 Canada Tour, which began two days later. A remixed version titled “Xtraloveable” later appeared on HITnRUN Phase Two (2015)
CONTEXT & NOTES
The 2011 re-recording bridged Prince’s early-’80s vault material with his contemporary digital-era sound. The staggered rollout began in Canada before expanding globally, reflecting Prince’s flexible, platform-first distribution strategy of the 2010s. The track’s release highlighted Prince’s willingness to revisit and reinvent his unreleased catalogue for new audiences.

Mình để ý họ chia nội dung thành từng khối rõ ràng, nhìn giống dạng thẻ box nên mắt đỡ phải đảo liên tục. Cái mình thích nhất là menu để ngay chỗ dễ thấy, bấm qua lại giữa các mục không bị lạc, chuyển trang cũng khá mượt. Nói chung cảm giác thân thiện cho người mới, không cần mò mẫm nhiều.
