| Controversy be thy middle name....
Prince's fourth album in as many years continued on from the risqué nature of
Dirty
Mind. The adult theme of his sexually driven lyrics were further explored, along with
religion and the politics of the day, which displayed an evolving development in Prince's songwriting style. The album was more produced than the last, and changes in his
vocals (use of his lower register voice) were apparent. Standout Tracks: Controversy, Sexuality, Do Me Baby, Annie Christian Experience Rating: Reaches a climatic peak with "Do Me Baby" (7/10) |

Notes | ||
| Debut album by the purveyors of
"cool", The Time was the first and arguably the most successful of Prince's
many protégés/side projects. The line-up consisted of Morris Day, Jesse Johnson, and former Flyte Tyme members Jimmy "Jam" Harris, Terry Lewis, Monte Moir and Jellybean
Johnson. It was Prince (under the pseudonym of Jamie Starr) however who, played all
instruments, produced and wrote the songs (Morris Day wrote After Hi School and Dez
Dickerson provided the lyrics for Cool). Morris Day on lead
vocals with Prince and Lisa Coleman on background vox. Standout Tracks: Get It Up, Cool, The Stick Paisley Involvement: All Tracks Experience Rating: The super cool funked up extended jams on this set worked the best... (6/10)
