It's #LPPSaturday ~ Let's celebrate the #Genius of #Prince and #TroyGua until the sun refuses to shine ~ Inspiration: 'I Wanna Be Your Lover' #Prince4ever #1979 #LPPisART #TroyGuaArt #Surrealism #Photography #Sculpture #StagedPhotography #OneSixthScale #Miniatures #PopArt #ArtImitatingLifeImitatingArt #Minneapolis #IWannaBeYourLover #TurnYouOn #TurnYouOut #AllNightLong #MakeYouShout #OhLover #IWannaBeTheOnlyOneYouComeFor 💜 x ∞ ➡️ ➡️ ➡️ ‪http://troygua.com/work/lppisart/‬ From princesongs.org by Zachary Hoskins: '"For You" had opened with its title track, an a cappella baroque-soul benediction in which Prince humbly offered himself to the listener. “I Wanna Be Your Lover” is another self-offering, but one with significantly more edge. His desires this time are unapologetically, uneuphemistically carnal, not to mention all-enveloping: he wants not only to be “our” lover, but our "brother", “mother,” and our “sister, too”; and, of course, he wants to be “the only one who makes you come running”–with just enough of a pause after the word “come” to ensure we pick up what he’s putting down...Like its sister song of sorts, “I Feel for You,” “I Wanna Be Your Lover” was written for ‪#PatriceRushen‬, another up-and-coming artist who had lent some uncredited synthesizer to Prince’s first album. He offered the song for Rushen to include on her own 1979 album, Pizzazz, but he was also inspired by her on a deeper level; according to his unpublished liner notes for Warner’s The Hits compilation, he “had a mad crush on her at the time and the song is about her”.' From princevault.com: '"I Wanna Be Your Lover" is the first Prince video to have been broadcast as no videos were made for either of the two previous singles "Soft And Wet" and "Just As Long As We're Together". The video shows Prince singing, playing various instruments: keyboards, drums, guitar and bass. He is also seen dancing and playing with a red scarf attached to his mic. The video looks to have been interpreted as a attempt to market Prince as a prodigy multi-instrumentalist (a potential new ‪Stevie Wonder‬).‘ https://www.instagram.com/p/Bv7EJX9hW0C/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=mme2128j22ui

🖤🎸🎶🎹📷 #ArtIsAWeapon #BlackMusicMonth @prince & @patrice.rushen #BlackCreativeGenius "Prince wrote one of his early hits, I Want To Be Your Lover as a lovesong for Me and says so in the liner notes of the album. It was written for Me. That's where our journey starts." - reposted from @patrice.rushen #PrinceAndPatrice #PatriceRushen #IWannaBeYourLover #GeminiAndLibra #Musicians #composers #producers #SingerSongwriters #MultiInstrumentalists #MusicIsLife #TraScapades #ArtIsAWeapon #JuneIsBlackMusicMonth • • • (Photo source - pintrest; photographer unknown - please tag if you know their name so I can credit them) https://www.instagram.com/p/CBX2kw6A7Du/?igshid=uazdjfectm3y
