Step inside one of the most daring chapters of Prince’s extraordinary career.
In 1988, at the height of his fame, Prince abandoned the already-completed Black Album-a gritty funk record destined for commercial success-and instead delivered Lovesexy, a spiritual funk manifesto that confounded critics, divided fans, and forever reshaped his legacy.
In this definitive book, Richard Ward explores the story behind Lovesexy in 35 in-depth chapters, covering:
The dramatic cancellation of The Black Album and Prince’s spiritual awakening.
The bold decision to release Lovesexy as a single continuous track on CD.
The infamous nude cover and its fallout with retailers.
A track-by-track journey through funk, gospel, sensuality, and redemption.
The Lovesexy Tour, one of the most ambitious and theatrical shows in pop history.
How the album, misunderstood at the time, has grown into a cult masterpiece.
More than an album, Lovesexy was Prince’s sermon to the world-an electrifying call to joy, faith, and positivity. From “Alphabet St.” to “Anna Stesia”, from bootlegs and outtakes to its influence on Beyoncé and Kendrick Lamar, this book uncovers how Lovesexy remains one of his boldest and most personal artistic statements.
Whether you’re a lifelong Prince fan or new to his music, Iconic Albums: Prince – Lovesexy is a celebration of vision, risk, and genius.
