Prince & the Revelationartist 2000By Beth ColemanPhotographed by Dah-Len
The Artist sits erect in a tight, striped jumpsuit that zips to his neck, a calf-length coat and gray boots (high heels, natch). Straight hair tousled, eyes luminous, he looks just like Prince of 1989, sexy and lean. But 10 years later, there's a slightly distant cast and quiet stillness to him -- if I lean forward, he might turn out to be a hologram. A notoriously difficult interview yet always the gracious host, he makes me a cup of tea. Despite the fact that the Artist has been through some very dramatic changes during the past few years, in the presence of such chilled-out clarity it feels like two Geminis just shooting the shit. Of course, one of us has an unpronounceable glyph for a name and is an international star who changed the face of music.
This is the year of Prince. When he wrote the hit song "1999" more than 15 years ago, he wasn't thinking about the date itself but the growing sense of living in an apocalyptic culture. Now that we're in the thick of millennial madness, the song's refrain is running through the heads of another generation of music buyers and makers. How does the Artist relate to the pop culture he helped form? Well, for one thing, he is not about to disappear from it -- even if it made him change his name.
"My father gave me the name Prince," says the 41-year-old Artist of his famous moniker and the need to abandon it in order to reappear. He says that when people started using his birth name to refer to a media-made persona, it lost its personal resonance. The Artist pulled away from that alter ego -- the Prince he used to be -- to save himself. "I'm telling you, the pimples go away, all the stress in your system leaves," he says. "They weren't talking to me anymore." The Artist is getting ready for his first major-label release since leaving Warner Bros. in 1996. It was his boyhood label, signing him when he was only 19, and his growing pains were publicly scrutinized. After a tumultuous relationship with the company, Prince legally changed his name to a symbol in 1992 to get out of his contract. He is, however, currently at work on Rave Un2 the Joy Fantastic (scheduled for a fall release, with distribution by an as-yet-undetermined major label), his first album of new material to be affiliated with a major since 1996's Chaos & Disorder. Rave is the first album that the Artist did not produce, and it features several big-name collaborators. From the man who wrote "slave" on his face in 1993 while disentangling himself from big-business hell, this is news.

what a ridiculous look, how hard was it being a fan back then? Bogey and Bacall, peanut butter and jelly, Wall being on fucking point, is "classic" dipshit. An iphone is top shelf technology. Get it straight. This thing is 4g. -Wall the great | |

Eh, not too hard. He was so far out of the public eye by then that it didn't ever really come up. |

Late 1990s/early 2000s was when he looked best, imo.
Rave is definitely underappreciated. It's not great or anything, but it's not that bad. "Rave", "The Greatest Romance", "Tangerine", "The Sun, The Moon and Stars", "Man O War", "Strange But True", "Prettyman" - all very good, if not great songs. Never understood so much love for "I Love U, But I Don't Trust U Anymore", though. Oh, and the remix album (minus "Beautiful Strange") was absolutely terrible - I can't believe people like it better.
Anyway, thanks for the thread, OldFriends4Sale, but I unfortunately have nothing of value to add to it.
I'd love to see a Newpower soul era thread next. 1998 was one of my favorite Prince periods with Crystal Ball, The Truth, Kamasutra and Newpower Soul. I think a lot of other great songs came from that era, like IIRC "Madrid 2 Chicago", "Breathe", "Beautiful Strange", "S&M Groove" etc..

Yeah I love that photo, something interesting about Prince in nature photos, like the Kid & Apollonia in a barn with hay and horse or in the country side. It works for some reason.

I just pulled this album out the other day. I really liked it back then but it now actually feels like an early Musicology or 3121. Same sort of glossy production. Some good songs on it however, not the best but good ones. | |

Sam also ran the Chicago Prince Nation, which was the local fan club....Cat used to show up at Nation parties at a club called Aftermath, and she couldn't have been nicer. You'd generally find her on the dance floor, shakin it with fans. Those were the days.... Occupy Alphabet Street!

even though this was not a very inovative time era. the songs were good. i enjoyed this album very much except the "everday is a winding road" cover. "undisputed" "hot with you" and baby knows also did not tickle mt fancy. but i thought the ballads were great ! many i feel were directed towards mayte. this era also gave us the Prince classic "I Love U, But I Don'tTrustU Anymore". this has to be a top 5 prince album of the 90's
*great thread you always do a wonderful job with these oldfriends4sale

I agree, I actually loved the look, and usually a good 'wild' look with Prince equals good era/music
But not so much with this one
