Ενδεικτικά:
By the time of his third album, Prince had announced himself as something both unprecedented in pop – the sex-drenched, post-male, polymorphous Imp of the Perverse – and weirdly familiar; a new, lubricious Little Richard. Meanwhile his new wave-funk hybrid Minneapolis sound was beginning to set the agenda of black music rather than following it. The sizzling disco of this title track, with its squelching Funkadelic electronics and cheeky, childlike arpeggios, carries the first real Prince manifesto of self: “Am I black or white? Am I straight or gay?” Sex, God, the funk and the filth: it’s all here, right in time to outrage the Reagan era.
