Publisher Description
A collection of the very first, the very last, and the very best interviews conducted with Prince over his nearly 40 year career.
There is perhaps no musician who has had as much influence on the sound of contemporary American music than Prince. His pioneering compositions brought a variety of musical genres into a singular funky and virtuosic sound. In this remarkable collection, and with his signature mix of seduction and demur, the late visionary reflects on his artistry, identity, and the sacrifices and soul-searching it took to stay true to himself. An Introduction by Hanif Abdurraqib offers astute, contemporary perspective and brilliantly contextualizes the collected interviews.
Customer Reviews
Oh really?
Mr. Abdurraqib states, “For a lascivious figure, he followed for much of his life (and up to a point) the strict orthodoxy of Jehovah’s Witness.” I don’t want to hinge my whole review on one point, but inaccuracy can taint journalistic works. His statement aforementioned is neither accurate or fair to Prince, nor his belief. Prince did not study, or become one of Jehovah’s Witnesses until later in his life (2003). He was raised as a Seventh Day Adventist, which in terms of sexuality, he veered away from those teachings. This is rather sloppy on Mr. Abdurraqib’s part. Journalists should do their homework and fact-check their statements.
