About this listen
The real Prince in the words of those who knew him best - from award-winning author Touré.
Nothing Compares 2 U is an oral history built from years of interviews with dozens of people who were in Prince's inner circle - from childhood friends to band members to girlfriends to managers to engineers to photographers, and more - all providing unique insights into the man and the musician.
This revelatory book is a deeply personal and candid discussion of who Prince really was emotionally, professionally, and romantically. It tackles subjects never-before-discussed, including Prince's multiple personalities, his romantic relationships, his traumatic childhood and how it propelled him into his music career, and how he found the inspiration for some of his most important songs, including "Purple Rain", "Starfish and Coffee", and the unheard "Wally".
Nothing Compares 2 U paints the most complete picture yet written of the most important and most mysterious artist of his time.
©2021 Touré (P)2022 TantorWhat thrills me the most about this book is that there is a lot of information about Princes parents. There is not a lot of information about them, particularly his mum information is pretty scant, but this book pulls together a lot of research and also talked to people he met them both and I found this particular part of the book very interesting indeed.
The most controversial and sensitive area of the book is that the author tries to give a timeline as to when Prince became addicted to opioids and this was very brave as this is a sensitive subject from a fan perspective.
I am a realist and I believe wholeheartedly that the information contained in this book is accurate and correct people may choose to disbelieve Princes addiction, but it is here in the pages of this book not in a salacious style but in cold hard facts.
I love every aspect of the book as it tried to uncover the complex man, not just the musician and it tried to make sense of those complexities and I think the book does this very well. If you love Prince you will love this book, if you have a passing interest in Prince you will love this book. I think the author is done and amazing job in dealing with the subject that is both complex and entertaining. The narration is excellent and it is read by the author. One of the best books on Prince I've read so far
Nothing can compare to Prince!!
