Lovesexy

Lovesexy is the tenth studio album by American recording artist Prince. It was released on May 10, 1988, by Paisley Park and Warner Bros. Records. The album was recorded in just seven weeks, from mid-December 1987 to late January 1988, at Prince's new Paisley Park Studios, after the cancellation of the infamous Black Album and most of the album is a solo effort from Prince, with a few exceptions. The lyrical themes of the record include positivity, self-improvement, spirituality, and God. Despite being critically acclaimed, Lovesexy became Prince's first album since 1981's Controversy that didn't crack the top 10, instead reaching number 11 on the Billboard 200. However, it did reach number one in the Netherlands, New Zealand, Sweden, Switzerland, and the UK. It spawned three singles: "Alphabet St."—which became a worldwide top-10 hit in the spring of 1988—and the follow-up singles "Glam Slam" and "I Wish U Heaven", the latter both of which failed to reach the Billboard Hot 100. Subsequently, it was Prince's least successful album in the United States since 1980. It was certified Gold by the Recording Industry Association of America in December 1988.
