That an artist rebelling against her record label today is a minor comment is so common as to position a simple and disappear habit. Facing a multinational album in the 80s and 90s represented a discussion in another tone, was something like the sound semblance of a fight between absolute power and unseen talent. Prince took that contest with all the rigor of the case and led the flags of the rockers who still felt rebels, armed with guitar, bass and drums, they suspected they could get away with unequal conflict.

There were times when there were more than seven international labels -now there are only three of them, who ran what was heard on the radio in the world and spread their tentacles to granting gold records and platinum according to their convenience. To all those signatures, Prince put in place several times and showed them with actions, performances and musical themes, that the important thing was not focused on the flow of the registers but the ability of call and in the credibility of who had the courage to stand in front of a crowd to conquer and reconquer spirits with music.

That made Prince. When few were able to oppose the logical processes of the industry at that time, the artist, whose real name Prince Rogers Nelson, appeared in all public displays with the word “slave” tattooed on a visible part of your body. Usually, one of his cheeks was responsible for communicating their dissatisfaction with the label, because the company did not have enough muscle to decant ideas that arrived on his head uncensored and untethered imagination. So unceremoniously changed its positioned name in the world by a symbol in temporarily and harmoniously coexisted her male side and female side.
The triple album Emancipation (1996) reflects that very moment in which he broke his chains and published under license from a foreign stamp to much of the material itself was not allowed to take before. Prince, obviously, lost every court case and was forced to end his contract with record label several years after what he wanted, but actually gained respect, increased its popularity and climbed an important step in reconciliation between rock and character of rebellion that characterized the genre both in their glory years.
But Prince was not only important for what it symbolized for artists and their utopian struggles. From his native Minneapolis (Minnesota) he radiated a proposal in which he landed for generations between the 70s and 80s the traditional sounds of Motown. Soul, funk and some close to jazz experiments found an accomplice early in his piano ever, an inheritance from his father, an amateur artist to leave home forgot to take with that of black and white generous cabinet volume.
the piano was the initial fee for Prince learn to play more than thirty instruments. Even in his first record, For You (1978), made it clear that all the compositions were proper and that his arms paraded guitars, bass, keyboards and percussion elements. Perhaps the notion of having everything under control license not subscribe to any specific musical style and physical appearance increased every time he said that purity in music was an outdated concept and out of place was given. Albums come in time as Prince (1979), Dirty Mind (1980) and Controversy (1981) are opposite in intent and rhythmic developments, which he speaks of a detached artist formulas for success.
Prince, or TAFKAP (the artist Formerly Known as Prince, the artist Formerly Known as Prince, as called for some time) was so exotic in the rock toldas the good times did not turned pink, but purple. In the mid-80s he began to translate their ideas into a dwelling book. A film had its seed in these pages, as well as performing the album Purple Rain (1984), with which he was able to multiply his fame in America and Europe. With this memorable record it found that audiovisual products also helped to spread his message and his face with a beard just emerging it became an everyday item.
In the years that Michael Jackson reigned with charisma and scenic skill, and Madonna, with will, strength and the ability to tell the world about it whenever it seemed relevant, was also Prince commandeering a talented block that made the pop would spread quickly.
Clothed in his band the Revolution or as a magician with enough conviction to take care of all the instruments, this American artist was related to the gospel, funk, rock and other styles, and most striking of all is that none of them was wrong. Never was below expectations, and although his name did not appear for several decades in the most significant listings of music, always knew get away with it, he never stopped calling attention or simply be that powerful magnet that draws stares and His work in recent years 20ten (2010), Plectrumelectrum (2014) and Art Official age (2014) gets the credit.
tune more with a desire for personal communication with a desire to regain an audience that perhaps migrated to other sounds. They are albums author in which Prince experienced as if I had 20 years, says what he wants, as if more than 30, and no longer has the need to censor any expression, as if his throne was beyond good and evil.
their courage to always do what he thought best for music brought him countless complications for your pocket and that, perhaps, was the cause of much of the collective oblivion for the new millennium . Now its influence will become clear when their musical heirs appear and the date of April 21 is celebrated year after year. Prince died yesterday at age 57 at a clinic in Illinois, which came because of a complex picture flu.
