Prince managed to make sexual innuendos to world hits – and relaxed so high to sing like Kate Bush. A personal best-of.
1) I Wanna Be Your Lover (1979)
There are a few songs that have so characteristic first sounds like “I Wanna Be Your Lover”. These Prince sings with a voice that – like the American website Vox writes – would also fit well in a “Chic song”. Meaning: The young Prince makes in “I Wanna Be Your Lover” Kate Bush competition – but only in terms of voice. While Bush still sounds a bit cramped, Prince brings his voice seemingly with ease in gender bewildering heights. Oh, Saustarke Lyrics, the first big hit of the singer also. Because Prince does not dream of the tiresome I-want-the-only-man-for-you-be-baby dream. He would much rather be “the only one you come for”
2) Sister (1980)
Yes, Prince loved the sexual provocation -. Which was perhaps never more evident than on his third album “Dirty Mind” (1980). Cleane Beats, Dirty Lyrics – so ruled, freely translated, the critics of the Rollings Stone . The record company Warner Bros. was obliged to provide the album with a warning sticker: “audition prior to airing.” Now why all the fuss? “Sister” might have been a reason that a mere 90-second song that celebrates the incestuous sibling love. At least superficially. After all, it always went Prince also to the absolute freedom – above all the thoughts
3) 1999 (1982)
What would we do if every day to go off a nuclear bomb. ? Of course, dancing until nothing works! This only correct answer was Prince in 1982, in the midst of the Cold War. His message also runs through the music: “1999″ is a Popliedchen in the best sense, it pops, droning and sprays that it is a pure joy. And what could be difficult times constant threat of political as a funky ode to the joy of life?
4) When Doves Cry (1984)
What words would better contribute to the death of a musician to mourn as Prince, as his own? “This is what it sounds like when doves cry” Whoopi Goldberg tweeted on Thursday evening. So it sounds like when doves cry. The eponymous song from the album “Purple Rain” reached the first number after Michael Jackson’s “Billie Jean” at the same time the US chart peak in such diverse genres such as Pop, Black and Dance. For synth sounds and kitsch vocabulary the singer tells the story of a failed love, it’s about the sweat of passion, an ocean of blooming violets and the tremor in the stomach, which could cause the contact of the once loved. So far so cliche-heavy. But of course, also has this song the traditional Prince-twist, in this case: his almost robotic uninvolved voice. And delightfully nasty song lines like this: “Maybe you’re just like my mother / She’s never satisfied”
5) Purple Rain (1984)
Hach.. Much more you would not say this probably the most beautiful Schmachtlied that has ever been written and never sung better than Prince actually. Respectively of “The Kid”, that autobiographical character, the Prince in the movie “Purple Rain” embodies (the Oscar there was rightly for the best film music). And only this guitar solo! Prince ‘name rarely falls, when it comes to virtuoso guitarists like Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton and Jimmy Page – what it is simply that Prince was too good simply in too many things. One of he who has to actually apologize for anything, not his father, not at a lost love, not with his former band members – those designed to appeal Prince / The Kid in his biggest hit. But in the end it is probably still about something else, about themselves to remain true
Or how would formulate Prince. “Purple rain, purple rain / I only want to see you / Only wanna see you / In the purple rain “.
6) Rasperry Beret (1985)
mid-eighties was Prince a big star, as his seventh studio album,” Around the World “came out. Although not a complete musical crash landing, but at least one stumbles. Maybe it was because that Prince increasingly the marketing machinery of the business’ refused. First, no song has been coupled, the radio stations should select the songs themselves. Then came with “Rasperry Beret” still a single out. A song that proves that. Even an average Prince song is still better than much of what other pop artists are celebrated
7) Kiss (1986)
Musical disposable commodity. Thus began the story of “Kiss” – in the end it should be one of those Prince songs that today in clubs have the same right to exist as 30 years ago. Because they are distinctive, intrinsically and yet suitable for mass production, timelessly modern. Only someone like Prince manages to compose an ironic macho song that is somehow a woman anthem. “Women not girls rule my world” – yeah
8) 7 (1992)
1992 was the last big hit from Prince a few years back – then came “7″ the right, at No. 7 the US Billboard charts managed. What exactly in the song? Ambiguous. Critics agreed at least on a Main topic: Religion (the seven deadly sins, seven world religions). but actually it does not matter, because those who succeed in a moment like Michael Jackson, to sound the next as George Michael, plus all the voices to sing themselves – likely to sing about liverwurst or shoe inserts
