Parade (Music from the Motion Picture Under the Cherry Moon)

I know this album felt like a total reinvention of Prince’s sound, but that’s why I love it so much. The sound feel so unique and timeless, and has never been replicated since. The incomparable Claire Fischer’s string arrangements made me enjoy a whole new genre of music. Musical genius!

I added this to my iTunes maybe 8-10 years ago and the cover was turned sideways and one of the tracks appeared corrupted just at the end. Got fed up and deleted from both iTunes and phone, then re-purchased. Plays perfectly and the album art is correct. As to whether this is officially an album: I'd say yes. Some of the tracks are really sequences from the film, but there are also pop hits such as "Girls and Boys", "Kiss" and should-have-been-a-hit "New Position". The slower piano pieces don't appeal to me, but others love them, so a real crowd-pleaser of an album.

This album is perfect. There isn’t one track that is throw away. Prince and the Revolution proved once again what a strong band they were. Add this to your collection ❤️

Prince’s parallel to Sly’s “Fresh”album....sparse and sublime...Bravo!

Awesomeness at its finest

Yeah I said it. The solo from Purple Rain is untouchable but Parade is a more consistent album, the kind you can put on shuffle and have a good time with.

I love this album. I also LOVE the movie

Great Song. Toooo bad the iTunes download is corrupted and the song won’t play. Worse Apple iTunes has no concern in fixing the matter. This is why I won’t pay for Apple Music. Or buy anymore music.

I remember going to see the film on opening night. There was no crowd. Just us girls. What a musical of poetry, comedy, design and beautiful people. Definitely an underrated album. Truly a masterpiece! ✌🏽
