Summary of This Book
With Prince, La Totale, dive into the abundant universe of Prince Rogers Nelson, a major figure in pop and architect of the Minneapolis Sound. The book covers the rapid artistic rise that asserted itself from 1980 with the album "Dirty Mind," and follows the thread of a career marked by irreverence, risk-taking, and constant reinvention.
Beyond the legend, the work puts into perspective a musical production as prolific as it is varied: essential hits, aesthetic shifts, sonic boldness, and the ability to surprise album after album. It captures the energy of an era, Prince's influence and aura, as well as the collaborations and tributes paid to him by numerous major artists, from pop to jazz.
Since the singer's passing in 2016, the excavation of unreleased material by The Prince Estate highlights the scope of this catalog and the enduring allure of "The Vault," this mythical creative safe. In this context, Prince, La Totale stands out for its ambition: to offer a rare and meticulous look at a spectacular discography, detailing the genesis of each of the 684 songs mentioned. A music book that reads like a map, useful for guiding listening and giving new depth to each track.
