User Album Review
Released as one continuous track to ensure its listening as one body of work, Lovesexy is an evolution to Prince’s earlier experiment with Around The World In A Day, which he had delayed its first single Raspberry Beret by a whole month to ensure people listened to the entire album first.

Lovesexy began as a bit of a rush project. Written and recorded in haste during December 1987 to replace his suddenly withdrawn hip-hop venture The Black Album. Lovesexy is consequently is one of the fastest albums turned around from creation, to retail, in music history. The artwork for Lovesexy sparked as much interest as the music, for it pictures Prince reclining naked with a lily stamen above his groin, prompting many retailer to conceal the cover with black wrapping (Wal-Mart refusing to sell it at all), deeming it too risqué to display in store. Lovesexy sold 1 million copies in the US but 1.6 million elsewhere. It is certified Gold by the RIAA. Only one of its singles Alphabet St. managed to chart in America, poor sales there saw the supporting tour focus mainly in Europe, where the album had enjoyed greater success; peaking at number 1 in the UK.
