Prince is apparently getting his musical inspiration from Twitter, Tumblr, and Reddit. Speaking to The Minnesota Star Tribune, Prince said that This Could Be Us, a track from a newly announced solo album, was named in reference to the #ThisCouldBeUsButYouPlayin meme. Prince explained that he was inspired by a widely retweeted image taken from his 1984 film Purple Rain, showing him and co-star Apollonia Kotero on a motorcycle, with the words This could be us… but you playin emblazoned above and below their faces. The song is reportedly a joyful ballad, laid over with Princes ecstatic vocals. He had previously announced that he would be releasing an album with his band 3rd Eye Girl, called Plectrum Electrum, but his solo album is yet to be named.
