Album Notes & Community Reviews

Produced heavily under the influence and direct involvement of Prince, the virtuosic percussionist's sophomore release perfectly distills the essence of the Minneapolis Sound. The album spawned the massive crossover single 'A Love Bizarre', merging complex Latin percussion rhythms with highly synthesized, club-ready dance-pop.
