Prince O(+> (March 11, 1995) – “New Gold Dream” Feature – Echoes Music Paper UK

A superb Prince cover feature and centre-spread from the March 11, 1995 edition of Echoes, published during the pivotal Gold Experience era.

In this major interview, conducted by Adam Mattera, Prince speaks candidly about the issues shaping one of the most significant periods of his career. The feature explores his decision to adopt the Love Symbol identity, his highly publicised dispute with Warner Bros., artistic ownership, and his vision for the future of music distribution.

Published just before the launch of the Gold Experience Tour, the article captures Prince at a transformative moment as he fought to regain control of his music, image and creative freedom.

One of the most fascinating aspects of the interview is Prince's discussion of emerging digital technology and direct artist-to-fan communication. Years before online distribution became commonplace, he outlines his belief that artists would one day be able to deliver music directly to their audience without traditional industry barriers.

Featuring extensive photography throughout, this remains one of the most insightful and forward-thinking Prince interviews of the 1990s.
