Dismissing the last ten years of the Artist Formerly Known as Prince's recorded output as "overproduced and somewhat laboured," Nilsen, editor of the Prince fanzine Uptown, writes instead about the pop star's most creative and successful years (which, he claims, ended with the critically acclaimed Sign of the Times album in 1987). Nicely compensating for the dearth of interviews with the media-shy artist, Nilsen draws from a wealth of interviews with his former band members, lovers, and close associates. But, although he occasionally acts as an apologist for the Artist's eccentric behavior, Nilsen is evenhanded to a fault--he offers little in the way of analysis. Still, his writing allows the reader to form an appreciation for TAFKAP's talent and his staunchly professional work ethic. Although the book contains neither a bibliography nor source notes, it does have annotated appendixes--including a studio session guide, a listing of concerts, and a discography. A good complement to Liz Jones's Purple Reign: The Artist Formerly Known as Prince (Carol Pub. Group, 1998), but purchase only as demand warrants

The alien androgyny, the spiritual eroticism, the royal conceit: the outsized persona of the artist currently known as Prince fascinates on numerous levels. In this detailed biography by journalist and attorney Hahn, anecdotes of a personal nature mix with close readings of Prince's musical output, producing few big secrets but plenty of insight. Prince's early days are recounted as a frenzy of musical education, with influences ranging from the funky dexterity of Sly Stone, to the tight perfectionism of James Brown, to the spiritual yearning of Stevie Wonder. (Hahn also names a less obvious influence in Joni Mitchell, whose lyrics Prince apparently purloined sometimes whole cloth.) The young Prince also absorbs the mechanics of the studio like a sponge. When the child prodigy meets with early success, signing to Warner Brothers at age 19, he blossoms into the personality of flamboyant and controlling self-absorption that fans have now watched mutate for over two decades. Constructed from interviews with producers, sound engineers, journalists and publicists, though not as frequently with Prince's inner circle, the book portrays Prince as a kind of outsider artist, eccentric and self-centered to the extreme, rarely leaving the enchanted, Minneapolis garden of his childhood, where he has managed to build himself into a living, protean god. This is a truly American story of cranky self-invention. B&w photos
