Product Overview
Prince - Emancipation (3CD) Emancipation was as expansive an album as anything Prince had ever release. A triple album constituting exactly three hours of music, Emancipation found Prince celebrating the release of music solely on his terms. ÓThis is my most important record,Ý he proclaimed upon its release. ÓIâm free, and my music is free.Ý Much like Paisley Park, the recording complex in which Prince created Emancipation, the album represents the incredible variety of his influences and moods. Romance and family are key themes (ÓSomebodyâs Somebody,Ý ÓThe Holy River,Ý ÓThe Love We MakeÝ), reflecting his recent marriage to back-up dancer and muse Mayte Garcia that year. Elsewhere, Prince reflects on technology (ÓMy ComputerÝ) and sex (ÓIn This Bed ScreamÝ), and offers new, upbeat grooves (ÓFace Down,Ý ÓJam Of The YearÝ) as well as four unique covers (Bonnie Raittâs ÓI Canât Make You Love Me,Ý the Philly soul classics ÓBetcha By Golly WowÝ and ÓLa, La, La Means I Love U,Ý Joan Osborneâs then-recent rock hit ÓOne Of UsÝ).
