Pros: Inspiring,Ennervating And Passionate
Cons: BIG ONE:All 9 Cuts Are Only Playable As One Long Song
'Lovesexy' finds Prince going through alot of changes.Two are apparent-he wanted to make an album that wasn't at all commercial and he also wanted to make it musically ambitious.Which he does alot but this more then any.As on his previous two albums 'Lovesexy' uses alot of orchestration and each song has about five seperate musical ideas rolled into one.For a man who once said it's time for jazz to die this album is more then a little jazzy.Especially "Eye Know".The one song that was a (deserved) was the fun pop ditty "Alphabet St"-"Glam Slam" and the title song are close seconds but all resemble his music with the Revolution more then anything."Dance On" is a great funk jam for the drum lover while "I Wish You Heaven" and "Positivity" carry the albums spiritual theme well.This is not the shameless,foul mouthed Prince of yore-his high profile sexuality is designed to prove a point on these songs.That being Prince likens sex to the soul and vice versa.However you take it (and if you can listen TO ONE 45 PLUS MINUTE TRACK) 'Lovesexy' is pretty impressive!
judging by the previous posting, at times I think we laymen ought to leave music reviews to people who have studied, understand, and can appreciate music. That said, I'm going to offer my opinion anyway, if for no other reason than to offset the previous 'expert' review (see 'Love
As a huge Prince fan, this album was disappointing. And not just because of the picture. It is very unfocused and there are too many mistakes. Apart from 'Alphabet St', 'Anna Stesia' 'Glam Slam' and 'Positivity', the rest of the tracks were simply, to put it bluntly, crap. It just didn't make sense. It would've been much better if he had gone along with the 'Black album'. Major error.
For my album. So I can only give it 3 stars.
like prince is having a good deal of fun.. summed up in the sleevenotes.. prince: whatever
9 top quality songs!
Ooooooooh, I love this album to the last second on it. He really proved me wrong about the older you get the lazier you get. T'was the turning point to Prince's music life, he developed a positive thought and love inspiring album, though he was going thru hell. I mean the dude posed naked on his cover what more could you ask for from him. I love this album so much that I even got the font that he used for the letters on the album. This album show's you the conversion from his 80's music, to the more poppyish 90's kind of style. I really respect him and love him for this album right here.
commercially, lovesexy was a big desaster in 1988
and if you look at the cover the reason is
obvious.
a great one- track (!!!) album with many classic
tracks like alphabet street and the beautiful i wish u
heaven with only a few throwaways like dance on and
positivity.
the only reason lovesexy gets only four stars is that
it has to compete with masterpieces like purple
rain, sign o the times or his 92 symbol album...
Besides for "Anastasia" and Alphabet St", this album stunk.
I, too have enjoyed this album for the past decade. Prince always delivers good spiritual and sexual messages. I love 'Alphabet St', 'Anastesia', 'I Wish U Heaven' and '(o) Know'. The cover's cool too.
This still strikes me as being his most personal album. It is a fascinating mix of sex, spirit and sounds. The opening track is a gas, Alphabet St one of his best singles and When 2 R In Love is beautiful. A fine album.
