Talk:Dirty Mind

Uptown

"Uptown" is the album's high point and is also the album's highest charting single.

While "Uptown" is a great song (IMO, this album has no weak tracks) it is not my favourite track of the album. So I think this is POV. --UrbanGrill 12:11, 3 February 2007 (UTC

Sister and Partyup were his first released songs in which he swore.

Los Angeles Times review

Transcription using Google News Advanced News Archive Search. Los Angeles Times (Johnson, Connie. S83. December 7, 1980) review of Dirty Mind (1980):

"DIRTY MIND." Prince. Warner Bros. BSK 3478. O ne look at his album cover is the. first tip-off that Prince is not _ your standard black R&B star. Clad in a metal-studded trench coat and bikini briefs, Prince seems to revel in be- ing the rebel with a dubious cause. The music inside the jacket is another sur- prise for the uninitiated. It's roll 'n' roll, leaning toward new wave. Prince's third album is his best to date. Prince tours with five other musicians but produces, arranges, composes and. performs his albums alone. Here, Prince's musical world is populated by pretty, sexually precocious girls who wear his clothes ("When You Were Mine") and wonder if he s gay ("Up- town"). AM radio, both black and white, probably won t touch much of this music, which also spins tales of incest and three-in-a-bed. Still, the songs all bene- fit nicely from hypnotic, wildly - ed riffing and Prince's perpetually adolescent falsetto. Prince really shines on the high-tech title song. With its synthesized multi- tracked vocals, the song becomes a per- vert-in-space fantasy. If he keeps this up, Prince is destined to become a reign- ing aristocrat of punk/funk.
