Blerd’s Notes: A Guide To The Music Of Prince (Part 1)
Six years ago, I decided to take a deep dive into Prince’s discography. Here are the original articles.
Prince “Stare”s In His Rear View With New Single
The always-confounding Prince has just released a new single called “Stare”.
Get Your Recommended Daily Allowance Of Prince’s “Breakfast”
Something tells me that 55 year old Prince Rogers Nelson still has the libido of a 27 year old. His new “Breakfast Can Wait” video certainly oozes sex, and in a significantly more impure version than I think his Jehovah’s Witness faith might allow. Of course, Prince himself isn’t actually in the video. A series of sexy dancers (see what I did there) trade moves in the clip, while a female Prince impersonator lovingly fingers a guitar. It’s light and […]

Blerd’s Notes: A Guide to the Music of Prince: The Side Projects
Besides being an overall bad-ass, another thing Prince is well-known for is his stable of side projects.The desire to be known as a developer of talent in addition to being known as a talent himself ran strong in the little guy, and Prince started spitting out proteges almost as soon as he became a hit artist. Some of the artists went on to create great music (if not have lengthy careers), while other artists came and went in the blink […]
Blerd’s Notes: A Guide to the Music of Prince (Part 6)
The 6th installment of the Popblerd Guide to Prince looks at his most recent five studio albums, a time period when Prince made some of his most inspired music in years, and dropped the plot again.
Blerd’s Notes: A Guide to the Music of Prince (Part IV)
Originally published November 17th, 2010. I’ve updated to include new photos, correct a few grammatical errors, and some text has been revised slightly. The last Prince album we covered in “Blerd’s Notes”‘ Part 3 was 1992’s Love Symbol album with the New Power Generation. Following that album, Prince’s label, Warner Brothers, gifted him with a lucrative (and ludicrous) contract that offered him a VP stake in the company. Shortly thereafter, Prince bailed-at least mentally. He changed his name to the […]
Blerd’s Notes: A Guide to the Music of Prince (Part 3)
Originally published November 9, 2010. I’ve edited this entry a little more than the previous two to make up for a couple of grammatical errors and a few turns of phrase that I’m not entirely comfortable with six years later. Everything’s been good on the Prince ride so far, right? We’ve already covered his ascension to superstardom, and now we’re at the tail end of the Eighties, when cracks in the Purple Armor were beginning to show. Nothing good lasts […]
Blerd’s Notes: A Guide To The Music Of Prince (Part Two)
Originally published 11/1/10 When dealing with someone whose released approximately 600 albums during his lifetime, it’s best to go piece by piece. When it comes to Prince, we’re gonna go five at a time. When we last left the Purple Yoda, he was on the verge of megastardom. “1999” was his biggest pop success, and set the stage for… “Purple Rain” (1984)– By the time “1999” hit, Prince was feeling himself so much, he convinced his label (and film studio […]
Blerd Briefs: Mariah, Xtina & That Purple Guy
Don’t you hate it when you go on a website and all they do is direct you to another website? Yeah, me too. So go on Popdose and check out my review commemorating the 20th anniversary of the debut album by Mariah Carey. Hard to believe it’s been two decades since MC stepped on the scene. Her debut album still sounds pretty fresh. Thankfully, she’s stepped up her choreography game a little bit since then. Remember the “Someday” video? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SeyhROv8utM
