"Lovesexy" arrived as Prince's third album in sixteen months, a spiritual counterpoint to the darker "Black Album," released just months earlier.
- "Lovesexy" reached number 11 on the Billboard 200 chart.
- The album's original working title was "The Black Album," which was famously recalled and destroyed before release.
- The supporting Lovesexy Tour was notable for its elaborate, biblical stage design and Prince's costume, which left little to the imagination.
Prince (1958-2016) was a pioneering singer, multi-instrumentalist, and producer from Minneapolis, known for his genre-bending fusion of funk, rock, R&B, and pop. By 1988, he was navigating the complex legacy of his late-80s output, following the massive success of "Purple Rain" and the experimental turns of "Parade" and "Sign o' the Times."
