Which album was The Most Beautiful Girl In The World taken from? I wish it was on Spotify. :(

The Gold Experience. The last half decent one before he went right off the boil

Edited December 23, 20213 yr by Severin

Plus it contained Gold, his final great single *.*

The Most Beautiful Girl in the World and Gold were 2 of his later best hits.

 

I've FINALLY managed to find a copy of Diamonds & Pearls in great condition - so happy as it's one of my favourites of his :wub:

 

Just the Love Symbol album to find now

The Most Beautiful Girl in the World is finally available to stream 🎉

Yes finally! :wub:

I still can’t find it! Is it part of a random compilation or actually on Prince’s discography?

Oooops got it… so this will be why The Gold Experience is being released for RSD this year then. Definitely need to get this now

It’s on The Gold Experience for me, that’s Apple Music though so might not be the same if you use Spotify?

Ha, good! Yeah I think that must be why, definitely need to get a copy

I *definitely* need to get hold of the Gold Experience vinyl! Dandy help me if it comes online and I miss it please :drama: I am such a novice with this sort of stuff!

 

Also listened to 'The Most Beautiful Girl in the World' a few times today and because it hasn't been on streaming it's one of my least listened to from him, but still easily one of his strongest. Such a beautiful, beautiful, classic song.

Haha - I'll do my best!

Purple Rain—Prince—Mellope Album Review

1. Let's Go Crazy (8.9/10)

OOOOOOH Yeah, this is real good. The guitar riff mixed with a synth sound to make a strong lead opening song hits just the right amount of energy to ease you into an opening of what is hopefully going to be a promising album. Going heavy and straight in at track one was a bold choice, but Prince isn't an artist to shy away from big moves, so I get it.

2. Take Me With U (8.9/10)

Prince continues adding rock to his psychedelic pop, but this time in less of a heavy way and more of an eased way, with a female uncredited singer (Apollonia Kotero) adding a soulful serve to the classic violin and cello harmony that adds more life to the song that's already full of life.

3. The Beautiful Ones (7.4/10)

A well-polished new age soulful song that has a glossy sound that adds a vibrant sound as if it's live; it's full of life. I don't like how some of the screams are literally screeching and sound like a teenage girl is having a tantrum (which'll definitely bring down my score), but still good overall.

4. Computer Blue (9.1/10)

This is one of the best uses of the guitars I've heard in a song; it's roaring but not too roaring to overpower the use of the synths or the bass that provide nearly as much use as the guitars. This is truly a delight for the ears and yet another moment where Prince shows the world how he's capable of balancing so many things to make a good song.

5. Darling Nikki (7.5/10)

Fun fact: According to the song's Wiki page, this song's masturbation reference partly caused the invention of the parental advisory sticker. This song has a upfront feel like you're seeing it there compared to the glossy synth sound on some other songs, I like It but not nearly as much as some of the other things here.

6. When Doves Cry—Prince (9.5/10)

Within seconds my head was bopping to the funky clap-like loop, and when those vocals hit and the soul and keyboard came in, I immediately knew this was going to be an instant song I'd fall in love with. The song has a full production that's full of life, but through the groove it has a heartbreaking message of love breaking. Where Prince says, "What if I've become like my mother?" my heart broke. I cried, and I got goosebumps; this song is a rollercoaster and one of the closest songs to perfection. Just WOW. MUST LISTEN.

7. I Would Die 4 U (7.8/10)

Nice rhythm, very catchy hook, and another dose of the brand of synth-pop that makes viewers want to hear more Prince.

8. Baby I'm a Star (8.6/10)

It's like something from "Thriller," but with more of a kick that adds to the rock-funk fusion. The use of synths here was also once again extraordinary and completely benefited the song.

9. Purple Rain (9.5/10)

With the meaning of God's guidance in the 8-minute heavy rock, there are many noticeable parts to pick up on. Every piano note feels like it was tested thoroughly for the best order; the violin feels unreal. I can't even believe a backing band can create a harmony that transcends into something that is beyond reality. This is INSANE. One of, or possibly the greatest, album outros I've ever heard.

OVERVIEW:

This album isn't just incredible for its time; it'll always be incredible. "Purple Rain" has a mix of pop-rock with meaning and disco fusion that captures sadness and dancing even in the same song at times! The album feels slightly futuristic, with the sound giving us a taste of some funky and lively synths that feel like something that only few were known for and that soon became more common. I love this album with passion; I must return.

RATING: 8.6/10
