Album Notes
THE BLACK ALBUM was available as a bootleg since December 1987, when it had been scheduled for official release but was pulled by the artist; it was not officially released until November 1994 and it is now out of print.
THE BLACK ALBUM is vintage Prince--it screams, funks, dances, lusts, grooves and raps, fully flaunting the artist's tremendous range and ever-fresh funkiness. Its songs range from overtly sexual to subtly romantic, and are all spiked with delicious jams.
Starting the set is "Le Grind," promising that "this funky beat's gonna show you what your hips are made for." The aggressive "Rockhard in a Funky Place" uses rich horn lines to build up to a searing guitar solo. On "When 2 R in Love," Prince demonstrates his amazing vocal range. Then on "Superfunkycalifragisexy," he shows off his Parliament-ary roots. THE BLACK ALBUM reminds us how Prince earned his royalty. His masterfully crafted harmonies, raps, and top-notch musicians, all swing with just enough of a pop tinge. As always, the master serves the groove.
Editorial Reviews
4 Stars - Excellent - ...It's a marvelous Prince album, alarmingly ahead of its time. Here is the basis of much of the recent Prince/New Power Generation/Symbol oeuvre...
Q (01/01/1995)
Included in Mojo's The 67 Lost Albums You Must Own! - THE BLACK ALBUM reactivated the electro-funk sex-machine vibe of his early career.
