Hi all! I’m Robin Shumays, co-host (along with @theurbanvanguard) of the webinar series The O+> Paradigm. Today I’m breaking down the post-Valentines Day appropriate Art Official Age track “Breakfast Can Wait” for the #AOAThread.
Thanks to the amazing folks behind the #PrinceTwitterThread and @deejayumb and @EdgarKruize for letting to participate once again this year! And kudos to all the threaders who have gone before me. Now let’s chat about one of my favorite tunes, Breakfast Can Wait.
#BreakfastCanWait is the 6th track on Prince’s 2014 album #ArtOfficialAge. The song was actually first released as a downloadable mp3 with the launch of the “3rdEyeGirl.com" website on February 3rd 2013.
I cannot adequately express how honoured I feel to have been asked to participate in the excellent #PrinceTwitterThread Series hosted by @deejayumb and @EdgarKruize, which this time around is focusing on Prince’s superb latter-day album, ART OFFICIAL AGE (2014).

In this thread, I shall be taking a closer look at the album’s opening track, ‘ART OFFICIAL CAGE’, and exploring the extent to which discerning the mutual relationship exhibited by the track’s musical and lyrical components can aid us in our understanding of the song as a whole.
However, before I begin, I would like to first give a shout out to Chris Lacy (@chrislacy1990), who penned an article entitled “Rediscovering Prince’s Late-Career Gem ‘Art Official Age,’ Two Years On” for Albumism in 2016.
