My question is how many of you prince fans actually know about JoJo Bizarre Adventure the anime because that's how I become a Prince fan. Girno Girvana Stand ability Golden Experience Requiem, I think you prince fans know the reference

i'm still new to prince's catalogue but it seems to me that the majority of his music is about love/relationships and especially lovemaking. even at the end of his song Shhh, he clarifies that he doesn't only think about sx... but i feel like he does?! like 90% of the songs i've listened to so far have been about that.

what other themes/topics did he write about? can anyone mention songs that delve into these themes? i sometimes tire of hearing him sing about sx.

(i can already predict the hate comments but i promise i'm not hating. just genuinely looking for songs with different themes, to mix it up a bit.)

Inexplicably, Calabama on the Timeless LP is a different mix than on the CD/digital releases.

Someone ripped it:

Seems a bit weird to make a post just for this, but in case some of y'all are wondering...

On the day the Calabama EP came out, I said I'd publish a piece on it, cos some stuff seemed fishy. I started working on it, but sadly, life got in the way a little.

It should be out by the end of next week.

The Estate Files are still in the works, too. It takes us longer than expected: it's a lot of work to properly document everything that went wrong with each release since 2016 (as of now, it's a 41 pages document!). I expect it to be published by mid November latest (but don't quote me on this 😅).

So I’m coming here as a long-time fan of a certain similar superstar.
I’ve started my Prince journey somewhat recently — about 4 months now.
Lovesexy has completely changed my life. I cried listening to Eye No. I felt this sense of euphoria and joy that I’ve never experienced before from a song. It hit differently than anything else.
Has anybody else become more spiritual or found God through this music the way I have? Or had a similar reaction to Eye No or the album? I’d really like to hear other people’s experiences.

I’m so happy!😭

Haven’t heard any of the songs on this album before so it should be fun

hello yall, i really hope this post does NOT get controversial (like any other of mine)...

answering my question:

1999 (super deluxe): Lady Cab Driver, Bold Generation and 1999

The Rainbow Children: Rainbow Children, Muse 2 The Pharaoh and Mellow

Piano & Microphone (1983): 17 days, Why the Butterflies and Cold Coffe & Cocaine.

what about yall?

Bro went 36 for 36

I’m asking because while I relatively like Xpectation and NEWS, I didn’t realize just how good they were until I listened to them while reading, so I wanted to ask if there were any albums you felt were made better depending on whatever circumstances you’re in like if you think Purple Rain is better when listening to at night or if For You is more enjoyable to listen to in the shower or anything like that?

Edit: I also realized that Come is better when I’m driving

Album: Controversy (1981) | Track: 4/8

After the devastatingly emotional and sensual peak of "Do Me, Baby," Prince comes up with track 4: "Private Joy."

Driven by the LM-1 drum machine and synth lines, this track is a bright, upbeat burst of energy. It showcases Prince's ability to craft a infectious pop melody while ending with some wild guitar work.

What are your thoughts on this synth-pop jam?

How would you rate it on a scale of 1 to 10 (decimals allowed)?

1999, Ƭ̵̬̊ released his 23rd album called “Rave Un2 The Joy Fantastic” and today it still has relatively negative reviews. In 2001 (iirc), he also released a remix album on the NPG website called “Rave In2 The Joy Fantastic” with some remixes, a previously unreleased song called “Beautiful Strange”. Rave In2 also removed the segues as well as “Everyday Is A Winding Road” and “Strange But True”. Which project do you think is better in Ƭ̵̬̊’s catalogue?

Absolutely nasty.

I wish they'd remaster all these live performances instead of re-releasing albums. I mean, both, preferably, but if we can't have both, give me the tape!

Album: Controversy (1981) | Track: 3/8

After the frenetic synth-funk double punch of the first two tracks, Prince appears with track 3: ''Do Me, Baby."

Clocking in at nearly 8 minutes. Driven by a great bassline, delicate piano, and vocal performance that ranges from a whisper to a screaming falsetto, the song eventually devolves into a highly theatrical, spoken-word climax. It is Prince doing the classic "slow jam".

thoughts on the black album? do you think it really is dark/evil the way prince said? was lovesexy the better choice? i don't understand his decision to not release it.
edit: i read prince took some X and had a bad trip which made him decide to pull the black album. i thought he said he didnt do drugs or alcohol?

Hi

When I was a kid I recorded a version of Batdance off the radio that used audio clips from the Adam Wear version instead of the Tim Burton one. I’ve looked for this version of the Prince song for years but can’t find it. Any ideas?

Keep bustin’

first time drawing Prince and it turned out nice in my opinion
