1958 was born in Minneapolis, Minnesota on June 7th, and was originally named Prince Rogers Nelson 1958. He inherited his father's musical talent and carried it forward in the later days. The prince learned to play the piano when he was young. He made friends with like-minded musicians since he was a child. /kloc-formed the first band "Grand Central" at the age of 0/3. Music became the strongest pillar of his turbulent childhood and adolescence (his parents divorced when he was seven years old), and most of his spare time was spent learning various musical instruments, recording techniques and song writing skills. His talent attracted Warner Bros. Records to sign with him and record his first album, 1978. The improved albums are Prince's albums Dirty Mind and Controversy in the early 1980s. Among them, the lyrics of songs such as Sex, Jack u Off, Head and Sister are too explicit, leaving a lot of room for imagination. The prince screamed and sang in a high, bright and moaning voice, which left a deep impression on people. In the late 1970s, like Michael Jackson, there were hard cores in soft songs. 1982 recorded the double album 1999, which really made him a dazzling star. The film Purple Rain from 65438 to 0984 and its album of the same name are a portrayal of his true story, which made him a great success, making him a world super songwriter/singer/producer/multi-instrumentalist and winning a Grammy Award. In the mid-1980s, he widely used video technology to expand the market. Because the prince is more reluctant to be interviewed by reporters than Michael Jackson. So its image is irresistible to publishing, radio and television.
Musically, after the album 1999, the musical form of Prince has changed wisely. This is reflected in the albums Purple Rain and Around the World in One Day. The latter was recorded by his own Pasty Park Company at 1985, accompanied by Revolution. This album is reminiscent of psychedelic rock in the late 1960s, further perfecting his sexy funk music style. Even more amazing, the cover of the album can make people involuntarily think of the cover of Sergeant Pepper by The Beatles. Although this album was not a complete success in the art experiment, its sales volume was remarkable. In addition, in the charity performance of world-famous American singers in Africa, "Prince" sang a song "Tears in Your Eyes" for the record "We Are the World", expressing his love. From 65438 to 0986, the prince further established his own style in the album "Parade", and the explicit lyrics aroused strong repercussions in American moral circles.
Since 1978, the amazing thing about Prince's career is not only that he keeps publishing works under his own name, but also that he has helped countless bands and individuals as a songwriter and producer. After the success of the movie Purple Rain, it earned $654.38 billion for Warner Bros. The prince also recorded the soundtrack album of the film Under the Cherry Moon in the south of France, which is a love fairy tale about two old people. Although a champion song "Kiss" was produced, the film and album were a huge disaster both in business and in public opinion.
1987, the prince released his real masterpiece "Signing Time". In this album, the prince put a variety of music styles together for experiments. Whether it is the fast-paced "Home Help" or the lyrical "dorothy parker Ballad", it is amazing. No contemporary artist can combine so many styles of music so closely. Since then, the album commonly known as "Black Album" has not been released in large quantities, which is said to be because the lyrics are controversial.
Then the prince gave American public opinion another shock. The album "Love and Sex" shocked moralists in terms of title, lyrics, cover (with naked prince on it) and singing (sexy with love, provocative gasps and groans). 1990 is a fruitful year for the prince. The soundtrack of the best-selling movie Batman, which he wrote and sang, has sold amazingly all over the world. His "The Unparalleled 2U" for Sinead O 'Connor became the double champion in the British and American charts, and his love song for Madonna also became the champion. The film Bridge of Graffiti and the album of the same name have also been released. In this album, there is a single called "New Power Generation", which indicates the birth of his new band "New Generation", which is one of the most versatile bands he has formed. Their first album was Diamond and Pearl by 199 1, which also made the prince himself.
1992, his 14 album was published. On the cover of this album, people saw a mysterious symbol "",which is the name of the prince. 1993, confirm the name by legal means. This album is still full of funk style, and there are still several famous songs in it. "My name is Prince" shows that the prince's self-improvement may be an ominous sign. From 65438 to 0994, the single "The Most Beautiful Girl in the World" was released independently and became one of the hottest songs of that year. At the end of 1994, he published the album "Come on" in the name of Prince, and the cover of the album clearly stated: "Prince 1958- 1993". This crazy behavior will soon be illustrated by practical actions-the prince will run away from Warner Records, a long-term cooperative company, and the household name of the prince will disappear and be replaced by an unreadable symbol. He also wrote "slave" on his face with pen and ink. Later, due to some contractual obligations, he agreed that Warner would officially publish his black album. 1995 was involved in a lawsuit with Warner Corporation at the beginning of this year. He felt like a slave and opposed the release of his new album "Golden Experience". It was not until late summer and early autumn that the lawsuit was resolved and the company agreed to publish the album in autumn. 1in the summer of 996, the prince published Chaos and Chaos, making him a free man. Wang Zijian established its own trademark-NPG.
Shortly after the publication of Chaos and Chaos, Prince immediately released his new album Liberation. The cover is the hands of the prince who broke free from the chains, which is a large capacity of 3CD, which may express the ease and pleasure of the prince after leaving Warner. 1999, Wang Zi released a mixed album "1999- New Masterpiece". Some of the remaining collections from the Warner Bros. era, Vault: Old Friends 4 Sales, were also released in the summer. In autumn, Prince regained his glory with the all-star album Rave Un2 The Joy Fantastic.
