Album Notes Personnel includes: Prince (vocals, various instruments); Rosie Gaines, Chante Moore, Kate Bush (vocals); Scrap D. (rap vocals); K Dyson (guitar); Eric Leeds (horns); Ricky Peterson (piano, keyboards); Rhonda S. (bass); Mayte (background vocals); New Power Generation. Recorded at Paisley Park Studios, Minneapolis, Minnesota. EMANCIPATION is Prince's 3-disc declaration of independence from Warner Brothers Records. The artist ammassed reams of new material in anticipation of his "emancipation" from his former label and the creation of his own imprint, NPG Records. His first release for NPG (and, amazingly, his third album of 1996, if you include his soundtrack to Spike Lee's GIRL 6) is a tour-de-force that showcases the breadth and depth of his talents as a composer, vocalist, musician and producer. As usual, the predominant themes are sex and love, the places where they disconnect and the places where they intertwine. "Friend, Lover, Sister, Mother/Wife" and "Let's Have A Baby" are evocations of Prince's newfound domestic bliss. "Sex In The Summer" and "Joint 2 Joint" are lasciviously funky tunes that find the bard of the bedroom solidly in his element. On a 3-disc set, even the prolific Prince can find room for a few covers. The soul gems "Betcha By Golly Wow!" (originally by the Stylistics) and "La, La, La Means I Love You" (the Delfonics) both benefit from a ride on the Paisley Park merry-go-round. More unexpected is the gorgeous treatment of Bonnie Raitt's "I Can't Make U Love Me" and a slightly skewed cover of Joan Osborne's 1996 hit "One Of Us."

Reviews  Emanicaption was the sound track to my life. I am a die hard prince fan and have been trying to replace this album for long time but could not find it at a price I could afford. But have it back now. I loaded it on my IPod as soon as it arrived and have been listening to it half the night. It will be the backdrop music for nearly everything I do for a while. I hear people talk so negatively about the sexual lyrics of Prince's early years, weel, I love them. They are a part of my who and what I was about when they were first published. I love how he said and wrote about all the things I thought about and did. He was a genius then and is still a musical genius. His songs now are what I need in this stage of my life, just as Emancipation was what i needed in that stage of my life. Review ID: 10000000005761652 Was this review helpful?

Report this review Nice CD, But, Getting Old ThoughPrince's CD Emancipation, which came out in the late 1990s, is basic R&B, w/ a few cover songs. However, if he were really emancipated, he would make more pleasant songs that aren't so vulgar, especially at his age--he'll be 50 in 2008. The CD's OK--let's just hope in the future he'll make "cleaner" music, and settle down as well. Review ID: 10000000004959959 Was this review helpful? Report this review  an ok purchaseI received the package in a timely manner which I was thrilled with. The reason I am a little disappointed is because I believe the CD's were burned and had label afixed to them to make them seem like the real thing. Why, because the CD skips a lot and it has no visible scratches on them. Review ID: 10000000004797619 Was this review helpful?
