about 1 month ago

Back in the summer of 1984, Purple Rain was more than just a movie: it was a genuine experience, a transcendent multi-media event that celebrated commercialism and creativity in equal measure, turning a mid-level R&B singer into an overnight superstar and international sex symbol. At one point during that year, Prince had not only the Number One movie in America, but also the Number One album ...

"The Minneapolis Sound" (Feature)
about 1 month ago

Purple Rain showed "The Kid" and Morris Day fighting for control of the same club in Minneapolis, with artists like Dez Dickerson and Apollonia 6 trying to get their own share of stage time as well. The film perpetuated the notion of "the Minneapolis sound", synth-based funk workouts that featured artists like Vanity 6, The Family, The Time, and several more -- the irony, of course, being that...

Baby, He's a Star: Prince's Life in Film (Feature)
about 1 month ago

Prince's films struggled with several issues, yet the most prominent theme with most of his work was walking that line between credibility and commercialism, turning away from greed in order to embrace his inner artist (which, in Purple Rain's case, is all the more ironic, given that it made him a commercial blockbuster).

3 months ago

This week in New Reviews, we have not one but three new albums from Prince : LOtUSFLOW3R, MPLSoUND and Elixer by his protégée Bria Valente. As Edwards writes, “ Five of MPLSoUND’s nine songs sound like lost B sides from assorted classic Prince albums ( Dirty Mind, 1999, Controversy, etc ) ; “ Prince has touted Elixer as a quiet storm album in the Sade mode, but most of it is just generic pop ba...

Yesterday was "Black Friday" in the US, marking beginning of the period of the year in which retailers go "into the black," or profit.
