The entire record is so exciting because it was recorded by an incredibly gifted artist on the brink of superstardom. This was the last music Prince recorded before becoming a bona fide megastar. It exhibits all of the hunger, drive and determination of the first four releases, but the confident swagger and new maturity would assure that this time, critical and commercial success would both be forthcoming. In essence, then, this was Prince’s rite of passage into manhood. It didn’t need any gimmicks- there was no need for him to grace the cover in some provocative pose. The music spoke for itself. Stunningly, 1999 is entirely the work of one man. Certainly, studio engineers were involved in the mixing. Prince even includes “the Revolution” for the first time on the album sleeve. But make no mistake- this album is 100% Prince himself. 1999 is the culmination of his genius- the pinnacle of an artist whose talent I feel is unrivaled by anyone of the modern era. In light of this, it will always be my choice for HIS greatest album of all time.
