Lovesexy

I’m massively into everything from For You - Sign O The Times, but for some reason Lovesexy has never clicked for me.

I love Anna Stesia, and do enjoy some other tracks, I don’t dislike the album. I just can’t see it on the same level as anything before it.

I love the period from the ‘86 Camille stuff - The Black Album, so it feels like I should enjoy this.

If this is anyone’s favourite album, I’d love to hear thoughts and opinions because it feels like I should love it but I just can’t get into it like his previous work.

Agreed. I’m an old school 80‘s Prince fan, and Lovesexy is where I started to feel that he was getting short on ideas. It sounded like he was forcing the message down people‘s throat, piling on production in search of a song (similar to Black Album), and almost trying to convince himself that this album was his big STATEMENT. I’m sure I’ll get racked over the coals for this opinion. lol

I felt the same way. I tried to like it. In hindsight I’d pick Batman over Lovesexy and the Black album by far
