For many, the album introduced a new Prince whose music now encompassed rap and other contemporary radio-friendly sounds. For others, SYMBOL signaled the beginning of Prince's downward spiral into self-indulgence and lack of focus. After the album's release, Prince changed his name to the unpronounceable symbol emblazoned on the cover.\r\nIt is hard to argue with Prince's innovative, accessible, and utterly singular musical vision. While not everything on this double-length set is strong, SYMBOL offers such an abundance of material that there is sure to be something here for everyone. Dance floor booty-movers like \"The Max\" and \"Damn U\" alternate with atmospheric ballads (\"Sweet Baby\") Other tracks (the chaotic free-funk of \"Arrogance;\" the dark gospel pulse of \"7\") are more resistant to categorization. The hit singles \"My Name Is Prince\" and the irresistible James Brown-style jam (complete with JB's-ish horns) of \"Sexy M.F.\" provide sing-along dance anthems. There is enough intensity and diversity here to prove that Prince is still a force to be reckoned with.\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: R\u0026amp;B\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: Vinyl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReleased: 12\/31\/2025\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Prince","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44594960531689,"sku":"2374H4-TT2W-00","price":28.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0654\/3523\/8633\/files\/prince-love-symbol_uVQR6.jpg?v=1759135243","url":"https:\/\/www.vibinvinyl.com\/products\/prince-love-symbol","provider":"Vibin' Vinyl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
