Did You Know: Prince
June 18, 2007 by Jo Minor
Did you know that Prince, the pint-sized musician, was the first artiste to come up with a record entitled The Black Album? It wasn’t Metallica!
In 1986, he went to work on the aforementioned album, but never released it. It was in the Warner Bros soon-come list, but was withdrawn at the very last minute. Bootleg tapes made their way to the music-minded masses and what they heard was a fine musical endeavour.
The man himself came up with an explanation on why the album’s release never saw the light of day. Here is one paragraph from said statement - give yourself a pat on the back if you can decipher its meaning:
‘Spooky Electric must die. Die in the hearts of all who want to love. Die in the hearts of men who want change. Die in the bodies of women who want babies that will grow up with a New Power Soul Love Life Lovesexy - the feeling u get when u fall in love, not with a girl or a boy but with the heavens above. Lovesexy - endorphin. Camille figured out what 2 feel. Glam Slam Escape - the Sexuality Real.’
