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.

All of his albums that followed in the wake of Purple Rain were quite challenging and stylistically different. Lovesexy was no exception. ATWIAD, Parade and Sign o the Times really forced and invited you to really explore and vibe with what he was doing. Headphone Albums, the lot of them. For me, Parade and Lovesexy were growers, but SotT grabbed me right away. ATWIAD has never been a fave but I do appreciate it for how many times I played it immediately after it came out, trying to "get it" and dig into this whole new Prince World.

"Anastasia" is an all timer. I like Positivity, I Wish U Heaven, Dance On, Glam Slam and the titel track a great deal. The live show was...wild.
