1. Let’s Go Crazy - Peak classic. Gotta say though that the opening didn’t really connect with me, but overall incredibly catchy and fun song. 10/10 2. Take Me With U - Sound like a basic Prince song until the last minute where it begins to feel like sweet song of wanting to be with someone you love. 8.5/10 3. The Beautiful Ones - Very touching song that represents the strong emotions of wanting to know if who you admire really wants you and how great it feels to get the question off of your chest. 9/10 4. Computer Blue - For a song that’s mostly guitar solo (reminiscent of Pink Floyd) I still enjoyed the vocals and everything else. 8/10 5. Darling Nikki - Wasn’t ready for that intro at all. Definitely different from every other song so far, I guess he can be a bit of freak. Still incredible song though and found myself bopping my head. The end is certainly something odd as well, and yes, I listened to it backwards. 7.3/10 6. Sweeping ballad that really really represents his style on this album. 8/10 7. I Would Die 4 U - Solid song, the end is especially catchy. Transitions incredibly into the next track. 7.5/10 8. Baby I’m a Star - Upbeat composition and great message about how he’s a star not in his life but for his love. I really love all of the vocals, both Prince and the backups. 9.2/10 9. Purple Rain - Incredible ballad and a great way to end the album. Prince mentioned in an interview that purple rain is when there’s blood in the rain and that the red + blue = purple. The song is about being with the one you love most even in the end of the world. 9/10 Overall: 8.5/10. I remember my English teacher mentioning Prince and how she listened to him as a kid and began to look at the lyrics and see how freaky they were. I can see what she means a bit, but overall these tracks are very sweet and emotional which gives this album a good score.
