Prince - Prince

Prince's eponymous sophomore album was a premonition of the pop force he would become. One of the most prolific, influential and talented artists to ever live, he solely wrote, composed, arranged, performed and produced this whole album. And it was all kicked off with the sexual innuendos of 'I Wanna Be Your Lover'. From this track and throughout the entire project, he channeled Barry Gibb and sung in falsetto. Although it was a stylistic choice that deprived the record from the soulful nuances of his later work, it set the framework for his androgynous image. This amorphous persona displaying a brand new straight and wavy hairstyle in the lead single's music video matched with the danceable rhythms of the album, creating a space that preached sexual liberation and paved his ascent towards the realms of pop culture icons
