A decade since his untimely death we pay tribute to the flamboyant funkateer
We have produced a souvenir special edition that celebrates Prince’s music and purple aura. It’s a tribute to the flamboyant funkateer – a deep dive into his music, films, styles, loves, kookiness and much more.
You can order your copy here . A mercurial genius who defied categorisation, Prince Rogers Nelson could bend different styles to his will – melding funk, rock, R&B, pop, hip hop, jazz and soul – in ways nobody had done before. He represented both the past and future, his music steeped in the funk greats from James Brown to George Clinton, but also instilled with the spirit of rock masters such as Jimi Hendrix and Carlos Santana.
Prince had it all – he could dance, sing and play virtually every instrument himself , and recorded entire albums alone, duetting with multiple versions of himself. Let’s not forget how extraordinarily productive he was too – from lustful slow jams to epic psychedelic rockers, he released 39 studio albums, including all-time classics Purple Rain and Sign O’ The Times during a peerless 1980s run that seemed to anticipate the next trends.
Beyond music, Prince defied music-industry segregation by forming his multi-racial, intergender band, The Revolution. He challenged gender norms and sexuality at a time when that was genuinely radical – shocking and wowing audiences in heels, lace and androgynous clothing while being unambiguously sexual. He made otherness feel powerful rather than marginal. Diminutive in size, gargantuan in talent: “dearly beloved” Prince, the greatest performer of his generation.
