Album Description
Available in:
Das Album "Prince" ist das zweite Studioalbum von Prince. Es erschien am 10. Oktober 1979 bei dem Label Warner Bros. Records und enthält neun Songs, darunter die fünf Singles "I Wanna Be Your Lover", "Why You Wanna Treat Me So Bad", "Still Waiting", "Sexy dancer" und "Bambi". Die Laufzeit des Albums beträgt 40 Minuten und 54 Sekunden. Das Albumcover gestaltete der Fotograf Jürgen Reisch.
Die Albumaufnahmen dauerten nur sieben Wochen und fanden zwischen Ende April und dem 13. Juni 1979 in Burbank statt. Wie bei seinem Debütalbum "For You" komponierte, arrangierte, produzierte und spielte Prince alle Songs des Albums alleine ein. Die Produktionskosten betrugen 35.000 US-Dollar und somit nur etwa 20 Prozent der Produktionskosten seines ersten Albums.
Das Album "Prince" erreichte in den amerikanischen Billboard Charts Platz 22 und wurde in den USA knapp 1,5 Million Mal verkauft, wodurch es Platin-Status erlangte. In Deutschland wurde das Album 125.000 Mal verkauft und erreichte nicht die deutschen Album-Charts.
User Album Review
Often mistaken as his debut album because it is eponymous Prince is in fact Prince’s second studio album. Like his first album, For You, Prince wrote every song, as well performed every instrument on the album. It was also his first album supported by a tour; during which, and unusually, he performed every song from the album.
Prince was recorded at Alpha Studios in Burbank, California within a mere six weeks, between April and June 1979. The album explores many themes (funk, soul, to even heavy metal) song I Feel For You was later re-recorded by and became a number one hit for Chaka Khan. Her version of the song would win Prince a Grammy in 1984 for Best R&B Song. Notably, during the recording of this album the song Purple Rain was also conceived. Prince sold 500,000 copies in the US on its release in April 1980 and the song I Wanna Be Your Lover became a breakthrough hit and responsible for pushing sales of the album to 1,000,000, the benchmark for Platinum accreditation, and reach number 22 on the Billboard charts and remained in the black Top 100 for 23 weeks.
