Prince's pop life, song by song, in chronological order.
With “Doves” now on deck for his next single, Prince was in the market for a suitably killer B-side–a role “17 Days” would fill with aplomb.
Cheap, exploitative trash; but, as in all things Vanity/Apollonia 6, that’s a feature, not a bug.
“Manic Monday” has the hazy feel of a half-remembered dream–not least because its main melody directly echoes that of another dream song, “1999.”
Yet another example of how Prince’s musical palette had broadened–and of how Apollonia 6 just may be one of the brightest hidden gems in his catalogue.
