Plectrumelectrum is Prince’s 36th studio album, and was released on September 30, 2014 in tandem with Art Official Age.
It’s the first and only Prince album to feature his all-female backup group, 3rdeyegirl. 3rdeyegirl was made up of drummer Hannah Welton, guitarist Donna Grantis and bassist Ida Kristine Nielsen.
While Art Official Age was an R&B album, Plectrumelectrum was a rock album, laced with Prince’s “noble weirdness” and “sense of humor,” according to the LA Times.
