Art Official Age by Prince

Art Official Age is a Soul & Funk album by Prince, originally released in 2014. On Gatefold: 19 pressings tracked, owned by 7 collectors.

About

In 2014, Prince released two LPs simultaneously: the 3RDEYEGIRL collaboration <i>PLECTRUMELECTRUM</i> and this solo outing. Ostensibly a concept album about a man who wakes up 45 years in the future, <i>ART OFFICIAL AGE</i> is a sprawling, spacey R&B fantasia. While the techno beat and airhorns that adorn the playful “ART OFFICIAL CAGE” slyly wink at the era’s fascination with digital recording technology, the album is also a return to form: The slinky, funked-out stunner “CLOUDS” and the pop-ballad odyssey “BREAKDOWN” feel like classics from a bygone era.
