Purple Rain

An album review, a playlist.

Darling Nikki shouts, "Baby I'm a Star!" She covets The Beautiful Ones by displaying carnal, erotic intentions.

Computer Blue and When Doves Cry, emanates poetic mastery.

So, Take me with U and Let's go crazy while unraveling Purple Rain. It's sublime, cohesive, polyphonic perfection. Prince, I would die 4 you!

Authors note: In case you never knew the meaning behind the title Purple Rain, here it is from the man himself. R.I.P

When there’s blood in the sky – red and blue = purple… purple rain pertains to the end of the world and being with the one you love and letting your faith/God guide you through the purple rain. -Prince

    Came back to read this as I was perusing through your library. Red +blue = purple. Grew up with this song and never put that together. Such a talent, gone.

    Very, very clever Lamar. And executed perfectly.

    Cool critique!! Great job! And thanks for explaining the song title..I’d actually never thought of its meaning but I love that. Congrats on your top story too Lamar and leaderboard recognition. 😊

    Fantastic job with this, Lamar! Honestly, I didn't really listen to his music for a long time, because my daughter and all of her friends were instantly obsessed. I burnt out after the first few days. I adapted eventually and realized the genius in the lyrics. Congratulations, my friend! Well deserved.

    I love what you did here. One of my favourite songs ever is, "When Doves Cry." Congrats on Top Story.

    Too bad the majority of "musicians" lack the depth of thought and measured complexity shown in this single ageless work. We may never see another maestro like Prince Rogers Nelson. Here's to modern "music" Great post about a great artist! 👍

  • JBaz11 months ago

    We lost a musical gift when he passed. This was terrific and covered who he was and the movie itself. Congratulations

    I did not know the meaning behind the title. Album takes me back - 1980's 💜 Who knew then it was a simpler time.
