One Nite Alone: Piano and Voice I'm revisiting this album since the advent of the recent Piano and a Microphone performances. I haven't listened to it in years and I am still moved by it. Anyone who likes this current tour should listen to it. The tour performances obviously top it--but it is still lovely to hear. The Musicology piano performances were beautiful also. I really hope Prince brings this show home and branches out in the U.S. [Edited 2/22/16 1:56am] "Music gives a soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination and life to everything." --Plato

I'd be down for him doing another piano album. One Night Alone is just gorgeous. | |

I would dieeee if he incorporated "Have a Heart" into one of the setlists. I don't think I have ever heard a live performance of that. Does anyone know if he's ever performed it? How'm I gonna fill this empty room... | |

"Good God!" in a solo performance, nice. I was disappointed with ONA when it came out. It doesn't capture his live piano performances of the live in the studio feel of intimate moments. But I grew to like it after I made a CD mix that is half Intimate Moments and half ONA, and I therefore listed to ONA quite a few times. The song writing and singing on a lot of the tracks is good, and the piano playing is good in parts. A few of the songs are weak, but overall it's a decent release.

Have only heard a few of the live ones and they definitely sound better than the album, but the album is great background music and a peaceful introduction for the non-Prince fan.
Standout tracks: Have a heart, One night alone, Pearls B4 the Swine and Arbortum. Avalanche is interesting, and Young & Beautiful lovely.
But now in comparison to his current tour almost pales. But then I haven't heard all the lives shows so I can imagine they're totally different. No wonder bootlegs became famous.
