Album Description
Available in:
"Originals" is a posthumous demo album by American musician Prince. The 15-track collection of previously unreleased demos of songs Prince wrote for other artists including "Sex Shooters" for the Apollonia 6, "Manic Monday" for The Bangles, Martika, Kenny Rogers, "The Glamorous Life" for Sheila E., and The Time, as well as "Nothing Compares 2 U," originally sung by The Family but made famous by Sinead O'Connor. The album was exclusively released on 7 Jun 2019 on Tidal with a wide release on 21 Jun 2019.
User Album Review
Originals, the new compilation from the Prince Estate (I emphasize “Estate,” because the late artist was not involved in this release and may or may not have hypothetically approved its existence), is a glimpse into an alternate universe where Prince did keep gems like “Nothing Compares 2 U” or “Manic Monday”—the breezy hit he wrote for The Bangles—for himself. Here we get 15 of Prince’s own versions of songs he wrote for other artists. Every fan knows that Prince left behind a bank vault containing thousands of hours of unheard music. Turns out some of that music has been heard, except performed by artists who are not Prince.
Several of these tracks are stylistic exercises that don’t fit Prince as well as the artist he was writing for. He toys with crooning country-pop on “You’re My Love,” but there’s a reason he gifted the song to Kenny Rogers. “Make Up” (later recorded by Vanity 6) is an especially odd one, and the only real flop here. The song’s industrial synth refrain never progresses beyond mild irritation. (Think “Something In The Water [Does Not Compute],” but worse.)
Originals offers a tantalizing glimpse of Prince as an artist whose creativity extended in so many directions at once that his own discography couldn’t contain it
