Prince's pop life, song by song, in chronological order.
-
The Belle of St. Mark
While “Glamorous” sounded tailor-made for Sheila’s particular talents (even if it wasn’t), “Belle” is well-crafted but faceless, embodying the essentialist cynicism of the publishing imprint Prince used for his female side projects: “Girlsongs.”
-
In a Spanish Villa
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.
-
A Million Miles (I Love You)
A definitive move into a new, baroque phase of Prince’s musical evolution.
-
Some Kind of Lover
An underexposed minor classic from Prince’s most overexposed period.
