About this album
Purple Rain is Prince And The Revolution’s landmark 1984 album, the release that turned Prince into a global icon and helped define the sound of the decade. Issued as both a soundtrack and a full studio statement, it blends Minneapolis funk, pop-rock and theatrical drama with striking control. Prince wrote and produced the album himself, then shaped it with The Revolution’s tight, forceful playing. Hits such as When Doves Cry, Let’s Go Crazy and the title track gave the record massive chart power, while its emotional sweep and bold sonic identity made it one of the most influential albums of the 1980s.
