- Renato Neto (Prince’s Brazilian Keyboardist)
The highly skilled Brazilian keyboardist and musical director who brought jazz, Latin, and sophisticated harmonic elements to Prince’s New Power Generation during the late 2000s and early 2010s. Renato Neto (born Renato de Oliveira Neto) is a Brazilian keyboardist, composer, arranger, and musical director. Known for his exceptional technique, harmonic knowledge, and versatility, he added a rich, contemporary jazz-funk flavor to Prince’s music. PRINCE CONNECTION Prince recruited Renato Neto around 2001–2002. He became a key member of the New Power Generation during the early 2000s, contributing significantly to the One Nite Alone... Tour (2002) and the resulting live album One Nite Alone... Live! (2002). He continued working with Prince through the Musicology era and returned periodically in later years. Renato served as both a keyboardist and musical director on several tours, helping Prince execute complex, jazz-infused arrangements. KEY RELEASES WITH PRINCE One Nite Alone... Live! (2002) – Prominent keyboardist throughout the 3-disc set Musicology (2004) Lotusflow3r / MPLSound (2009) 20Ten (2010) Various other live recordings and tours (2002–2012) STAGE WORK & LATER CAREER Renato was highly valued for his musical intelligence and versatility during the intimate One Nite Alone... Tour, which featured Prince performing with a stripped-down band. After his main tenure with Prince, he has continued working as a session musician, producer, and musical director for international artists. WHY THEY MATTER TO THE PRINCE UNIVERSE Renato Neto helped Prince explore a more jazz-oriented and musically intricate sound during the early 2000s. His contributions to the One Nite Alone... project (one of Prince’s most critically acclaimed live works) were significant, and he represented Prince’s ongoing desire to surround himself with world-class, versatile musicians.

- Prince (February 14, 2006) Te Amo Corazón - CD/DVD Single
Prince’s elegant, Spanish‑infused ballad — the first glimpse of the 3121 era, released before the album was even announced RELEASE DETAILS Date: December 13, 2005 (digital) / December 20, 2005 (CD) / February 14, 2006 (CD+DVD) Format: CD+DVD Single Country: Worldwide A-Side: “Te Amo Corazón” – 3:37 THE STORY Released digitally on December 13, 2005 (and physically shortly after), “Te Amo Corazón” served as the lead single from Prince’s album 3121 — even though no album title or release date had been announced at the time. The date itself (12/13) cleverly hinted at the forthcoming 3121 branding. A graceful, romantic ballad with Spanish influences, the track was accompanied by a cinematic music video directed by Salma Hayek, filmed in Marrakesh. CONTEXT & NOTES “Te Amo Corazón” introduced the warm, sensual sound of the 3121 era. Notably, the standard CD single contained only one track with no B-side — a rarity in Prince’s catalogue. The release strategy combined digital-first distribution with traditional physical formats, reflecting Prince’s evolving approach in the mid-2000s. The song performed solidly on sales charts thanks to strong collector interest.
