Three CD set. Dearly Beloved is the most comprehensive compilation to date of Prince's songs as recorded by other artists. Among the 52 tracks are many written and produced specifically for other acts, plus hit cover versions and obscure homages to the songwriting genius. Featuring major pop hits penned for The Bangles, Sheena Easton, Martika and more, plus R&B smashes for Nona Hendryx, André Cymone and Meli'sa Morgan, as well as lesser- known latter-day collaborations with Shelby J, Ana Moura and Van Gogh. Artists showcased range from crossover superstars (Kenny Rogers, Pointer Sisters) to jazz- funk legends (Maceo Parker, Herbie Hancock), electro pop pioneers (Robyn, Peaches) to alt rock and country mavericks (Amanda Palmer, Lambchop) and beyond. With a full colour 32-page booklet that includes new interviews with many of the acts featured and historic quotes, plus essay by album curator ex-Attitude editor Adam Mattera. A must for all die-hard Prince fans. The most expansive compilation to date of the great Prince Roger Nelson's deep and diverse songbook as covered by other artists with 52 tracks, spanning a wildly diverse range of styles from giddy pop to blistering R&B, sophisticated jazz to alt country balladry.
