The Chocolate Invasion (Trax from the NPG Music Club Volume One) is the twenty-ninthstudio album by American recording artistPrince. It was released on March 29, 2004 byNPG Records. The album was released as a download-only album through his website,NPG Music Club.[2] All the tracks, except "The Dance", were previously available on the same website in 2001, although some may have rearrangements in music and/or lyrics. "U Make My Sun Shine", a duet withAngie Stone, was released as a single in 2001. Three more tracks had a limited release as CD singles during Prince's 2001Hit'N'Run Tour: "Supercute", "Underneath the Cream", and "Gamillah". The album's title comes from a line in "Judas Smile". "The Dance" was later re-recorded and included on the 2006 album,3121. All the tracks, except "Judas Smile" and "The Dance", were at one point included on the aborted album projectHigh.[3]
The disc artwork on the download page showed a slightly different configuration of the album, missing "The Dance" but including "My Medallion", suggesting a last-minute change by Prince to replace the latter song by the former. In 2015, the album was released on music streaming serviceTidal in this different configuration, which also included the full length version of "U Make My Sun Shine". In 2018 the album was released on other music services likeSpotify and theiTunes Store.
Even though the album has never been officially released as a CD, there arebootlegs available.
All songs written byPrince.
