Pitchfork to Review Key Albums in the Prince Catalog

Pitchfork to Review Key Albums in the Prince Catalog

A week ago today, we learned that Prince had died at age 57. The world is still trying to process that loss. Here on Pitchfork, we've run pieces about how Prince changed the way we thought about music and gender and how he taught us about sex. We've had pieces exploring his relationship to his home town of Minneapolis and we’ve offered a guide to some of his overlooked later work. We've discussed what it feels like to mourn him in the absence of online media and we've looked back on previous features that explored the First Avenue club where he made his name and the making of the album that put him on the map. Now we're taking a deep dive into his catalog.

As we did following the death of David Bowie, we're going to review key records from Prince’s catalog that have never been covered on Pitchfork. This time, we'll review eight albums over the course of tomorrow and Saturday. (Remember that we review records on Saturday now). These reviews will feature some of our favorite Prince scholars on some of the most iconic albums in popular music.
