Book The Total - Prince

"After two albums tinged with funk and disco, Prince Rogers Nelson became the master of the Minneapolis Sound in 1980 with his third opus, the sulphurous and aptly named “Dirty Mind”.

From his first records for Warner Bros. Records, the man who will soon be nicknamed the Kid from Minneapolis, offers his life to an abundant and varied musical production. Prince then went through the 1980s with an irreverence and audacity that would characterize him. After having a string of successes (Little Red Corvette, Purple Rain, Kiss, Sign O' The Times or Batdance) and selling more than 100 million albums, Prince knew how to reinvent himself with each of his records, defying the predictions of those who believed him to be dead, constantly reborn from his ashes, and always surprising through new artistic directions.

From Madonna to Miles Davis, from Michael Jackson to Kate Bush, all the big names in popular music have wanted to one day record alongside him. Since the singer's unexpected death in 2016, The Prince Estate has been working to exhume valuable albums that had previously remained unpublished from The Vault, his Paisley Park safe. Thousands of songs still lie dormant there, and each of these releases is a global event.

A unique work in the world, Prince, La Totale offers a unique look at the artist's sprawling work, and meticulously details the genesis of each of his 684 songs, revealing one by one the manufacturing secrets of a spectacular discography, worthy of this extraordinary and immortal artist."
