About
Crispy, clean, and perfectly synchronized, <i>What Time Is It?</i> exemplifies The Time’s singular vision of Minneapolis funk. Prince produced and his fingerprints are all over the music, but “Wild and Loose” and “The Walk” are obviously the handiwork of an experienced band. Led by Morris Day, the quintet’s space-age interpretation of Motown showmanship coalesces on “Onedayi’mgonnabesomebody.” While “Gigolos Get Lonely Too” is a swooning, sassy slow jam, “777-9311” is the showstopper. Its impulsive polyrhythms are so tightly interlocked that listening to it is like peeking inside a Swiss watch.

What Time Is It? is the second full-length studio album by The Time, and was released in August 1982, 13 months after their first album The Time.
Like the previous album, What Time Is It? was largely written, recorded and produced by Prince, and contained no input from band members other than Morris Day on drums (tracks 1, 4 and 5), although all band members were credited.
Four of the six songs were credited as written by The Time and two by Morris Day, but Prince wrote all six songs (with lyrics on Wild And Loose written by Dez Dickerson).
