Prince and the Revolution – Purple Rain

Description

Prince designed “Purple Rain” as the project that would make him a superstar,
and surprisingly, that is exactly what happened. Simultaneously more focused
and ambitious than any of his previous records, “Purple Rain” finds Prince
consolidating his funk and R&B roots while moving boldly into pop,rock, and
heavy metal with nine superbly crafted songs. Although Prince’s songwriting is
at a peak, the presence of the Revolution pulls the music into sharper focus,
giving it a tougher, more aggressive edge. Even with all of his new, but
uncompromising, forays into pop Prince hasn’t abandoned funk. Taken together,
all of the stylistic experiments add up to a stunning statement of purpose
that remains one of the most exciting rock & roll albums ever created.
