With his androgynous look, somewhere between glam and afro-futurism, Prince entered the living rooms through the pop programs on television in 1982 with the song 1999. Music that was shimmering with sex and decadence and to which you could dance well. It wasn't until 2 years later that he really made it to the top with the more megalomaniacal album and film project . It made fans of the first hour
… swear by 1999. Everything is right about this album on which Prince the funk and soul of and connects to electro and new wave and in his lyrics, pantingly, breaks a lance for unbridled hedonism. This re-release contains an extra CD full of different mixes and b-sides of singles. A nice addition, but above all it shows that the original album has lost nothing of its strength. One of the true classics of Prince, who passed away in 2016. (MR)more
