Prince always leapt between moods and styles without fear. The consummate rule-breaker continued to push himself with 1993’s dense and delirious Love Symbol Album. Backed by the horn-driven sound of The New Power Generation, he filled this heady concept album with brassy bursts of big-band jazz, hard-driving funk workouts and nods to the fierce swing of early ‘90s hip-hop. It’s a dizzying trip, whether you’re looking to get lost in a psychedelic dance-rock epic (“7”) or get loose to down-and-dirty R&B (“Sexy M.F.”).
