Tap here for more details on Prince & the Revolution - Emancipation - Vinyl Emancipation is the nineteenth studio album by American recording artist Prince. Emancipation-Prince s first release off Warner Bros. In a one-off agreement between NPG Records and EMI came in November of 1996 just 4 months after Chaos And Disorder-was as expansive an album as anything he d ever release. A triple album constituting exactly three hours of music Emancipation found Prince celebrating the release of music solely on his terms. quot;This is my most important record quot; he proclaimed to the Minneapolis Star Tribune upon it s release. quot;I m free and my music is free.quot; Much like Paisley Park the recording complex in which Prince created Emancipation the album represents the incredible variety of his influences and moods. Romance and family are key themes (quot;Somebody s Somebody quot; quot;The Holy River quot; quot;The Love We Makequot;) reflecting his recent marriage to back-up dancer and muse Mayte Garcia that year as well as the impending arrival of their child. (Tragically their son suffered from a rare disease at birth and passed away weeks before the album s release.) Elsewhere Prince reflects on technology (quot;My Computerquot;) and sex (quot;In This Bed 0 Screamquot;) and offers new upbeat grooves (quot;Face Down quot; quot;Jam Of The Yearquot;) as well as four unique covers (Bonnie Raitt s quot;I Can t Make You Love Me quot; the Philly soul classics quot;Betcha By Golly Wowquot; and quot;La La La Means I Love U quot; Joan Osborne s then-recent rock hit quot;One Of Usquot;). • First time on vinyl! 6 purple LPs in slipcase.
