Prince and The Revolution – Around The World In A Day (1985)
Take a trip into the psychedelic side of Prince’s genius with Around The World In A Day. Released just ten months after the world-conquering Purple Rain, this album was a bold, creative pivot that saw Prince and The Revolution trading stadium rock for "Paisley" pop, lush textures, and experimental world-beat influences.
This record is a landmark in Prince’s discography, marking the debut of his Paisley Park Records label and introducing the world to a more spiritual, introspective sound. From the Middle Eastern-inspired title track to the infectious, sunshine-pop hooks of his greatest hits, this album is a colorful, high-fidelity journey that rewards every listen.
