October 8th, 1980 "Dirty Mind" was released by PRINCE. It was so different from his sophomore release, Warner Bros. was trying to give the record back. This was the final album of his first record contract which was a 3 record deal.

PRINCE pushed back & WB gave warning to music critics & radio programmers to listen before airing. The positive reviews from critics & radio programmers even tho a number of cuts couldn't be played on air had WB go forth with the album.

"When U Were Mine" was embraced by KROQ in Los Angeles with Rodney On The Roq & Right On magazine continued their support for PRINCE, pitching it as a more adult sound.

What are your favorite songs from "Dirty Mind"? I'll take the whole album thank U very much! 💜

Heeee's Back! It's #LPPSaturday, #BlackHistoryMonth and #BlackLivesMatter ~ Celebrating the #Legacy and #Genius of #Prince 'til the world stops spinning ~ Inspiration: #NewPowerGeneration • #SupportArt @patreon 💜👉  patreon.com/clublpp • From diffuser.fm: 'New Power Generation: the Song Begets the Band', by Rob Smith, October 29, 2017: To trace the origins of Prince's "New Power Generation" (song and band), we must direct our collective attention to "Eye No," the first song on 1988's Lovesexy. In the preamble to the song proper, he announces "Welcome 2 the New Power Generation," shortly before introducing the listener to the word "Hundalasiliah" (which is Nelsonian variant of "hallelujah," or "praise be" or "check out this funky jam I'm about to lay on you"). This was Prince casting himself as reverent Prince, if not Reverend Prince—remember, he had pulled The Black Album at the last minute because he thought it was evil, and replaced it with the more buoyantly spiritual Lovesexy. Perhaps he envisioned his listeners as his flock, a generation he could lead into light, rather than darkness pistils and nakedness, rather than aberrant carnality New Power, rather than malevolent energy. . From Alex Hahn's 'Possessed: The Rise and Fall of Prince': Having shelved The Black Album, Prince immediately threw himself into the recording of his next LP, Lovesexy, which he conceived as a document of his epiphany. While the tension between carnality and spirituality had always been a feature of Prince's music, his new lyrics presented these two forces as working in tandem and harmony. Lust and religious rapture were described, in essence, as identical the title track describes a feeling of mystical enlightenment and also contains lines about sexual emissions. Prince worked mostly by himself, although Sheila E. played drums on several tracks. During breaks from the Lovesexy sessions he worked on songs for a planned solo release by Ingrid Chavez, whom he continued to view as a muse and spiritual guide. • #Prince4ever #LePetitPrince #LPPisART #TroyGuaArt #Surrealism #Photography #Sculpture #PopArt #ArtImitatingLifeImitatingArt 💜👉 https://troygua.com/le-petit-prince https://www.instagram.com/p/CZmk5XWlt0hNg2-wzj9WoxUNoW6p9ojpGn5uU00/?utm_medium=tumblr

"I knew how to make a hit record by my second album."-#PRINCE On October 19th, 1979 PRINCE released his second album simply titled PRINCE with his biggest hit at the time, "I Wanna Be Your Lover" being an R & B smash & cracking the top 20 billboard hot 100. From "Why U Wanna Treat Me So Bad?" along with "Bambi", "When We're Dancing Close & Slow", to "It's Gonna Be Lonely", & then "I Feel 4 U", PRINCE was showing how much he grew as an artist between his first & second album.

7 Years ... #Prince4Ever

#my7Princesongs for today ...

Reposted from @purple_highs Many individuals have expressed difficulty in choosing just 7 songs for the #my7Princesongs challenge. We believe that this challenge is beautiful because it allows us to reflect on how Prince's music has impacted our lives. Rather than viewing this as a rigid exercise, we see it as a momentary snapshot of our current emotions.

Our goal is not to create a definitive, permanent list, but to highlight the music on the anniversary with specific selections from each person. By combining these individual efforts, we hope to showcase the brilliance of Prince and his music.

[Today], as members of The New Power Generation, we have the opportunity to redefine April 21st by flooding the internet with songs from the legendary musician and performer, Prince.

Don't forget to use the hashtag: #my7Princesongs. We are excited to see everyone's unique lists!

It's #LPPSaturday and #BlackLivesMatter ~ Celebrating the #Legacy and #Genius of #Prince and #TroyGua 'til the world stops spinning ~ Inspiration: #Madhouse • Love this? #SupportArt and become a #Patreon member at #ClubLPP 💜👉  patreon.com/clublpp • From princevault.com: Madhouse was originally a 'faux' jazz rock group conjured up by Prince in late 1986 in Minneapolis to be an outlet for some jazz material he had recorded with Eric Leeds. A live version of the band was made up when Madhouse was slated as a support act on the Sign O’ The Times Tour. The line up of the band comprised Eric Leeds (baritone saxophone), Dr. Fink (keyboards), Levi Seacer, Jr. (bass), and Dale Alexander (drums). • From the Current's 'Prince: The Story of Sign O' The Times, Episode 7': From June 19 to 22, 1987, Prince took over a soccer stadium in Utrecht, Holland, setting up chairs to host nearly 15,000 fans each night. I've gotten the chance to connect with a handful of Dutch fans who were actually at the show on June 20, 1987, which was recorded and has been remastered and included in the Super Deluxe reissue of Sign O' The Times. The opening act for the Sign O' The Times Tour was Madhouse, Prince's experimental jazz side project. The original live lineup of Madhouse included Eric Leeds, Dr. Fink, Levi Seacer, and drummer Dale Alexander. . [Dutch fan] Patrick Jordens: ‘I was watching Madhouse like my life depended on it because I loved it. I lot of people were not paying attention, but when I was looking at Madhouse, I looked to the side of the stage, and I see Prince, and he's watching Madhouse from the side of the stage, and he's hanging on some kind of bar. He's swinging, and then he jumps off and he stands there a little bit, and no one sees him but me, I think. So I tap Roald, and I say, you know, "Hey! Look over there it's Prince." And he sees me getting Roald and pointing at him, and then he waves at us — never forget it! It was beautiful!’ • #Prince4ever #LePetitPrince #LPPisART #TroyGuaArt #Surrealism #Photography #Sculpture #PopArt #ArtImitatingLifeImitatingArt 💜👉 https://troygua.com/le-petit-prince https://www.instagram.com/p/CWyKVTIlNDZBzR-YlvDVWkiRVsO1h-TMiNGxZM0/?utm_medium=tumblr
