About
Stepping onto the world stage in 1978, Prince was already a wildly talented soul singer with an unusual taste for hard rock riffs and future-shock keyboard hooks. His sumptuous debut, <i>For You</i>, blends opulent disco-era arrangements with the raw lyrics and the wildly distinctive style that would quickly define him. While it’s not as expansive or experimental as the albums that followed, <i>For You</i> remains a luscious collection of offbeat electro-funk (“Soft and Wet”) and steamy slow jams (“Baby”).
