The Prince Podcast – When The Music Changed

Over the years Prince has changed his musical sounds many times. In this episode of The Prince Podcast, we take a look at the many shifts in sound over the years and debate when Minnepolis sound changed (for the better or worse!)

The Minneapolis Sound changed when he released Around The World In A Day and for the better. Prince will always be credited for inventing the Minneapolis Sound, but the same evolution of sound that created Dirty Mind to Controversy to 1999 to Purple Rain is present on ATWIAD. Artists past and present continue to jock the sound that's on the albums of Prince and artists he produced and I liked that he made an album for himself with no fucks given to how it is received. Prince has taken that attitude beyond music-shading fans, former associates and other artists.That's why Prince is the greatest artist of his generation because for the most part, Prince makes music independent of what his fans, journalists and fellow musicians want from him. He's experimental and unlike a lot of his male musical groupies on the scene now, Prince brilliantly synthesized (no pun intended) his musical influences without being terribly derivative. Although, I can't stomach Prince's late nineties albums (New Power Soul and Rave Un2 The Joy Fantastic), Prince's career and musical trajectory over 3 decades is fascinating. Prince's music rises and falls with his fans expectations. Every new album is received with gross hyperbole-either a masterpiece or worst album ever made.

The music is simple: he replaced horns with synths. He used white new wave ideas with soul/R&B.

A bit of punk and white rock. That's the sound.

His new sound is the same sound but much worse.

All you others say Hell Yea!! woot!

Interesting how they mention ATWIAD, because critics mostly panned it. They were the ones who wanted Purple Rain 2. We, not the wanna bes, stayed.

Other artists can change not Prince, then they bitch that he isn't innovative. rolleyes

All you others say Hell Yea!! woot!
