@raveun2symphony Yeah that shit is garbage

[A.R. @ARsRusty]

@raveun2symphony The album artwork is god awful tho ngl

[A.R. @ARsRusty]

The track was dope (that is unless we find out it’s been altered in some way). But what in god’s name is this cover art, THIS SHIT LOOKS TERRIBLE

[A.R. @ARsRusty]

Was listening to Kamasutra and it makes me wish Prince would’ve done a mini orchestral tour or some one-off shows. Imagine him in a concert hall front & center with his piano and the orchestra behind him. Could’ve done an original symphony or orchestrated renditions of his songs

Something In The Water is one of the most incredible and mind-blowing songs I’ve ever heard

NAME THAT FAVORITE TRACK! 44 Years Ago, Prince released his 5th studio album, the iconic 1999. Hands down, my absolute favorite Prince album. Of all of Prince's releases, it is the truest in form to his contribution to funk from beginning to end. The album was recorded at Prince’s Kiowa Trail Home Studio in Chanhassen, MN and also at Sunset Sound in Hollywood, California.

The album featured a good bit of singles including 1999 leading the way, then Little Red Corvette, Delirious, Automatic, and Let’s Pretend We’re Married. It was Prince's first double album that would further establish him as a household name following Controversy and of course, right before Purple Rain that would solidify that position.

The album was written and performed completely by Prince although there were other vocal contributions including Lisa Coleman (1999, Little Red Corvette, Delirious, D.M.S.R., Automatic and Free), Jill Jones (1999, background vocals on Automatic, Free and Lady Cab Driver), Dez Dickerson (1999, and vocals and guitar solo on Little Red Corvette), Jesse Johnson (1999), Vanity and Wendy Melvoin on Free, and a wealth of other singers and hand claps on D.M.S.R. including Brown Mark, Jamie Shoop, Carol McGovney, and Peggy McCreary

Little Red Corvette (4:58)
Delirious (3:56)
Let’s Pretend We’re Married (7:20)

October 27th, 1982, PRINCE unleashed the 1999 album upon the world. They weren't ready to party just yet upon release. In 1983, that all changed when MTV under pressure to play more Black artists videos back then by the labels & artists such as David Bowie, "Little Red Corvette" was added to their channel. It became his biggest hit to date at the time, reaching #6 on the pop charts and also causing "1999" as a single to be re-released and gain traction. Touring behind it with The Time & Vanity 6, billed as The Triple Threat Tour, it was a huge success. The album has too many cuts on it but I will ask anyway.

What are your highlights from the 1999 album & era? 💜💜💜

@iamslickrick_ He really did lol

[Funkatopia @funkatopia]

Eric Leeds reflects on the total creative freedom Prince granted him. By providing the budget and autonomy to choose his own collaborators, Prince empowered Eric Leeds to build a unique musical legacy on his own terms. #Prince #EricLeeds #MusicHistory

@iamslickrick_ Deleted the post on IG + twitter and replaced it with a clip of Eric speaking positively about P lol
