Originals opens a fascinating door into Prince's vault, collecting his own versions of songs he wrote and gave away to other artists, now on CD for a fresh look at a genius at work.
Prince was famously prolific, and throughout the 1980s he handed hits to friends, protégés and stars alike, often recording a complete demo of each song himself first. Released in 2019, Originals gathers fifteen of those recordings, many never heard before. Listening to them is like peeking over his shoulder in the studio, hearing exactly how he imagined each song before someone else made it famous.
The revelations come quickly. "Manic Monday," later a smash for The Bangles, takes on a different glow in his hands. "The Glamorous Life," a breakthrough for Sheila E., crackles with nervous funk energy, while "Jungle Love," made famous by The Time, struts with all the cheeky swagger you would expect. Closing the set is "Nothing Compares 2 U," the ballad Sinéad O'Connor turned into a global anthem, heard here in Prince's own aching, intimate reading.
These are not rough sketches. They are fully formed performances that stand comfortably beside the hit versions.
For Prince devotees and casual fans alike, Originals is a thrilling reminder of just how much music he gave the world.
