Prince – Prince (CD)
Product Details
Recorded when he was just 20 years old, Prince's self-titled 1979 album announced something the music world wasn't quite prepared for: a one-man band with the technical chops of a seasoned session pro and the hunger of someone who knew exactly where he was headed. "I Wanna Be Your Lover" reached number eleven on the Billboard Hot 100, his first real crossover moment, and it wouldn't be the last time he'd make pop radio sound like it was built for him.
“This one’s a lot nastier.” —Prince, 1979
Prince began work on his sophomore album just seven months after releasing his debut. The album pulses with an electric energy, especially on the dance singles “I Wanna Be Your Lover” and “Why You Wanna Treat Me So Bad?” Prince would perform both of those songs on his national television debut on American Bandstand following the release of Prince, showcasing his increasing interest in transferring the energy of the studio to the stage. Prince was performed, recorded and produced by Prince, with two members of his live band, the drummer Bobby “Z.” Rivkin and bassist André Cymone, credited as “heaven-sent helpers.”
