She was the lady voice/keyboardist and apparently a strong voice in the recording studio for Saturdays=Youth and Hurry Up, We're Dreaming; she co-wrote 7 or 8 songs across the two albums, including Kim & Jessie and Midnight City (the big keyboard riff was hers). I don't think she worked on Junk.

She did not work on Junk. I think she was helpful on the past 2 (she didn't really contribute to his movie soundtrack-ish albums which were **** excellent, though).

I think the problem is that Anthony wanted to try something different and go for a full corny 80s TV show theme song/disco funk album. Swing and a miss imo. Get back to the emotional rollercoasters of albums. Even Saturdays = Youth was better than this album. The closing 4-5 tracks of the album which include the Beck song and some of Anthony's trademark instrumental tracks are OK...otherwise the album is pretty crappy.

And, yeah...Frightened Rabbit album es bueno.

Someone's died at Paisley Park and word is going around that it is Our Lord and Savior Prince. I'm not in any kind of emotional state to handle this and it better not be true.

I don't think people realize how great of a guitar player Prince was.

God damn... Really awful news. Too many legends checking out this year.

Watching Purple Rain tonight when I get home.

Damn he was a truly masterful performer and musician.

Confirmed by his publicist. Ugh.

Bonus trivia question for MU fans. Which MU star got arrested for smoking pot at a Milwaukee Prince concert?

You have to commit a LOT of hours every day for a lot of years to be able to do the things he did. I find it hard to find a better Pop guitarrist (although we cant really label him as only a pop musician)

Damn... Smh.

Man, I have no idea... Assume it someone from the 80s/early 90s?
