Much of that reputation came from his work in the 1980s, during which he established himself as a workaholic and became an international superstar. There are many fans who still define Prince’s best years as occurring in the 1980s. Ignoring for a moment the subjective notion of “best,” which is often problematically correlated to sales and chart position, this article attempts to employ some quantitative analysis of Prince’s creativity over time to lend some insight. A prerequisite is to define Prince’s creativity (no easy feat!) and to determine how it is best measured. Along the way we hope to shed some light on questions such as: Did his most productive years happen during his rise to fame in the 1980s? Did his level of output in the ’80s forecast what was to come later? Was he really a modern-day Mozart? The mathematical analysis that is used draws heavily from ideas of natural laws in systems theory and is inspired by the works of Cesare Marchetti and Theodore Modis.","PeriodicalId":339233,"journal":{"name":"AMP: American Music Perspectives","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126303426","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

During this era, Prince leveraged his prodigious capacity for placemaking and worldbuilding and sparked his journey as a moving image auteur and film director. During the Controversy tour, Prince began experimenting with the visual language of narrative cinema as a vehicle for his music. He would go on to predate Beyoncé’s concept of the visual album by decades. The ubiquity of smoke from fog machines, combined with backlighting, present on tour and in music videos and album art, would come to mythologize the image of Prince that pop culture, more often than not, depicts—mysterious, otherworldly, and bewitching.","PeriodicalId":339233,"journal":{"name":"AMP: American Music Perspectives","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126781511","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

First, I explore how Prince and Monáe center sex positivity and pleasure in their respective work. Second, I highlight their shared belief in artists’ responsibility to reflect the times politically, as Nina Simone so famously stated. Third, I illuminate how both artists insist upon navigating society through pathways grounded in opposition to racial capitalism, with a vision of how we can collectively build a more just world. In this third section, I focus on adrienne maree brown’s book Pleasure Activism: The Politics of Feeling Good. Regarding methodology, I analyze lyrics, imagery, and historical context from both artists’ albums. This interdisciplinary exploration is valuable to artist-activists within critical race studies, media studies, gender and sexuality studies, and anyone dedicated to preserving the legacy of Prince.","PeriodicalId":339233,"journal":{"name":"AMP: American Music Perspectives","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114151731","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, Prince’s presence in Black media, his performance on Billboard charts, and his own words refute this misconception. It is impossible to fully understand or appreciate the legendary first decade of Prince’s career without acknowledging the importance of his Black audience. Yet, his relationship with this audience remains largely ignored by the white critical and scholarly establishments as well as the Prince Estate. Therefore, this article argues that while the massive crossover success of 1999 and Purple Rain allowed Prince to expand his audience, his reign would have been impossible without the ardent support of his Black audience—his first and most loyal audience.","PeriodicalId":339233,"journal":{"name":"AMP: American Music Perspectives","volume":"38 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116048190","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Black women in country and Americana music, such as Mickey Guyton and Rhiannon Giddens, are using their voices to reclaim their rightful places in these predominantly white music scenes. There has also been an impressive stretch of recent popular music scholarship by Black women. Narratives shape musical genres, music scenes, artists’ music and personal histories, and music journalism and criticism itself. How, why, and who tells these stories makes all the difference. Ultimately, I argue that these new stories are essential, as narrative has the power to correct historically inaccurate or incomplete records about musical artists and their works, music writers and their contributions, and the construction of the genres in which musicians and music writers navigate.","PeriodicalId":339233,"journal":{"name":"AMP: American Music Perspectives","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128261915","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Identifying the melodramatic romance of Swift’s All Too Well opens up similar dimensions of the Beatles’ media narrative, especially as articulated in Paul McCartney’s contributions to the marketing surrounding Get Back’s Disney Plus premiere on the streaming platform. More genre and Disney dynamics begin to emerge when I unravel a selection of correlations between Swift and McCartney and the Beatles.

Meant as a means for music writers to grapple with both the ongoing evolutions of R&B and the synthpop and synth R&B revivals of the decade, the category Alternative R&B has become a catch all for Black artists who sound even remotely influenced by R&B—and for Black women artists in general. This article traces Black women experimental pop artists’ complex relationship to the moniker Alternative R&B through grounding this apparent siloing within a context of the past 100 years of Black women in American popular music. By tracing the disidentification with “Alternative R&B” of contemporary experimental pop artists FKA twigs, Tinashe, and Dawn Richard, it calls for a re-evaluation—and dismantling—of racialized musical genres.","PeriodicalId":339233,"journal":{"name":"AMP: American Music Perspectives","volume":"56 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124915347","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As illustrated by recent moments in popular culture and entertainment, nuances of star identities are tested and reoriented on the dance floor within the individual and collective lenses of performer and spectator. Whether rendered on a concert stage, inside a futurist club, within a televised competition, or through an imagined space of cathartic escapism, the dance floor has stimulated the subversion of normative categories and the representation of constructs of gender identity and subjectivity. Queering the dance floor, even in fleeting performance, the women pop stars highlighted below offer themselves (and those around them) “a way of making perceptible presently uncommon senses in the interest of producing a/new commons and/or of proliferating the senses of a commons already in the making” (Keeling 2014, 153), which consequently manifests umbrella alliances and queer operating systems that interrogate the ideologies of the larger order.","PeriodicalId":339233,"journal":{"name":"AMP: American Music Perspectives","volume":"148 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123412836","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
