The Artist (Formerly Known As Prince)
Spanning three discs, the music demonstrates a polished late-nineties R&B style infused with experimental soul and funk. The production feels celebratory, capturing an artist working on his own terms after lengthy industry disputes.
This project functions as a bold statement of intent. By operating outside of major label constraints, the music reflects a liberated perspective, resulting in an expansive and personal body of work.
