Controversy (Audio CD)

Customer Review

After the first two albums "For You" and "Prince" came with the third album "Dirty Mind" probably the most impressive tightrope walk of recent music history, especially Princes new alignment was incredibly brave. With "Controversy" which appeared in 1981, Prince went this route consistently continued and perfected his style.
War "Dirty Mind" the pure rebellion so is the successor a more restrained rebellion with Hitcharakter.
The title track is characterized by funky riffs and synthesizers and has a Ohwurm hook line and also features full-length (7Minuten) the playfulness of Prince, who is no longer Deut short kompromierte songs fortunately, from this album and his "Funk" fully lives out - what is the ground-breaking "1999" gets clearly heard even a year later.

"Sexuality" is danceable and should make the listener of his fears and compulsions free for Prince means exactly this song and the text, the freedom to do what you want and always to act in the eyes of requited love, "Do Me Baby" then the first Prince ballad which perfectly sound - minimal produces a slight Drumbeat and Keys sings Prince in Fallsetto about love about sex and after four minutes interrupts the singing and Prince yells and screams, an early taste of "The Beautiful Ones" ,
"Private Joy" was covered later, but never reached this quality - danceable, funky, with typical Linn drum sound - the early development of "Minneapolis radio" addresses precisely at this time and was in the following years to the sound of the 80s - the world was known and hundreds of clones spawned.
"Ronnie Talk to Russia" - Prince asks the then president to clarify and stoppage of the cold war and is hoping that the world does not sink - shrill, loud rock and just incredibly well.
"Lets Work" includes an Incredible funky bassline that is so striking that they will adhere forever - unfortunately only the short version and not 12 ".
The last two pieces hit in similar score while "Annie Christian" especially from the text and sound is interesting, "Jack U Off" is then singsong with Barcharakter.

A great record extending over a million copies sold and the foundation for the really big successes is - it stands out here significantly from that Prince is able to make history and songs remain sticking and to produce music that is fresh and innovative , Hitqualität owns and his own sound corresponds - still super audible even after incredible 33 years.
