Total 100% Masterpiece in my view. I was in a band in my community college that was run by these two musicians who were Muslim. One day the band was in their studio rehearsing and I saw the cassette sitting on a keyboard and I thought to myself "well this is out of place" but they were big Prince fans. I admit I didn't know much about Muslims back then but had my assumptions (please don't attack me). They actually compared Lovesexy to Let's Get It On by Marvin Gaye and how Sign O The Times was this artistic peak like What's Goin' On was for Marvin Gaye but then he released Let's Get It On and the public reaction wasn't the same. Anyway, I borrowed the cassette and listened to it on the way home and wow did it rock. I have a very specific memory of listening to the rhythm guitar part while walking through my neighbourhood and thinking how chuncky it was. Then I was visiting cousins in Massachusetts in around 1990 and I still didn't have the album by then but I came across it in a store. It was used but I still got it but thought I'd better hide it from my heavy metal loving cousins. Lol so dumb.
I love that album. | |

It's completely unique, so you can't have anything against it like you can with organized religion. A personal Jesus, to quote another act from the 80s. When he started preaching the JW doctrine later, the feeling was very different. If you take any of this seriously, you're a bigger fool than I am. | |

Yes, I totally agree with this! He started it with the song 'Paisley Park' (possibly even with 'Uptown') and this album cemented what Prince was trying to accomplish with his songs/mind set. | |

Yep. Creating an ideal world in his music, that was what Prince was all about. If you take any of this seriously, you're a bigger fool than I am. | |

- I can't remember when exactly but Prince once said that he felt that when you come while having sex is a way of getting close(r) to God. For some unclear reason this alwyas sticked in my head. And when I listen to Lovesexy, I somehow feel, nearly understand what he said back then. - Yes i agree, af if he orgainised his own religion through that; Love + Sex(y). And indeed his very own light hearted open and free releigion. "Hold On To Your Soul. We Got A Long Way To Go. Hold On." Or the full lyrics of "Eye No". I alwyas thought he was sort of his own Jesus posed in that flower on the cover. - Compare this album, with any album before - that's how unique it is. It IS beyond funk and pop together, at least to me. Since it is my favorit album of his, I also have to be in a specific mood to enjoy it. And obviously it always happens in them midst of spring (over here). It if for ever attached to the 'new' imho. - The preaching he did was the dullest and most aberrant kind.
Light phrases... that was all that was to it. Just a phrase and the right timing to say it.
He was good at timing, just that. He posed them on award shows, as messages to his fans, as well as in some of the most annoying interviews ever.
They made absolutely no sense. In fact, they were a bit ridiculously light at the same time.
I am convinced he lost attention because of this.
I mean; "Contract" or "The Truth" or "Love41ANother" ...
Or even the heavier shit like the idea of "The Banished Ones", "The Rainbow Children", etc ... were frankly cheesy as hell, and smelled like it too.
-
Well, he made it a little bit in the end. Which I think was good for him.
But who am I to think that?

This needs to be added
Cross The Line is an unreleased song by Ingrid Chavez, recorded with an improvised musical backing by Prince in mid-December 1987, at Paisley Park Studios, Chanhassen, MN, USA (shortly after cancelling the release of "The Black Album", ... Prince's music comprised of reversed synth and organ sounds following Ingrid Chavez's spoken part. Her vocals were later lifted and incorporated into Intermission, which (as a studio track played over the PA) opened the second half of Lovesexy Tour shows. Cross The Line remains unreleased, however. -PrinceVault
I wonder if this piece from the Line is connected/taken from
Cross the Line Go 2 School the garden I would tend your flowers How general would it B by works we speak Would taste so beautiful I'll lick your body from your head 2 your feet say the sings I want 2 hear your lover, your slave the way U B The reason U keep him your tongue your kind U love it Suck your man 2 understand I love U so 4 ever I will B your fantasy I know U R there Can U feel me? Cross the Line
