Album Description
Available in:
Parade : Music from the Motion Picture Under the Cherry Moon est le huitième album studio de l'artiste américain Prince and The Revolution, publié le 31 mars 1986 par Paisley Park Records et Warner Bros. Records. Il s'agit de la bande originale du film Under the Cherry Moon, sorti en 1986. Keith Harris de Blender écrit que l'album "fait une cavalcade pop à partir des mêmes affectations psychédéliques qui ont torpillé This time it works".
Il s'agit de la suite de Around the World in a Day et de la bande originale du deuxième film de Prince. L'album voit Prince se diversifier davantage sur le plan musical, en ajoutant des orchestrations à sa musique et en présentant un aspect très européen. Avec Parade, Prince affiche également une nouvelle image : les chemises à volants, les cheveux bouclés et les tenues violettes qui caractérisaient son look entre Controversy (1981) et Around the World in a Day (1985) font place à des cheveux lissés et à des costumes habillés. Bien que le single "Kiss" ait été numéro un, l'album dans son ensemble n'a pas été bien accueilli aux États-Unis. L'Europe, en revanche, a adopté l'album et, pour la première fois dans la carrière de Prince, les ventes d'albums en Europe ont éclipsé celles des États-Unis.



User Album Review
Parade was Prince’s third and final album co-credited to The Revolution. It was seen as a considerable improvement to Prince’s previous album, Around The World In A Day, helped greatly by the inclusion of its lead single Kiss.

The accessibility of Parade ended fears that after Purple Rain his previous album had shown Prince had lost his magic touch. Parade restored Prince’s appeal. Around The World In A Day had sold well because it has been the follow up to Purple Rain and had left the buying public disappointed, the more mainstream Parade sold 1.8 million copies in the US (peaking at number 4 in Billboards charts) and 1.4 million elsewhere. It is certified Platinum by the RIAA. The album forms the sound track to Prince’s second movie Under The Cherry Moon, which was released three months after the album. The songs all follow the story of its lead character, Christopher Tracy, played by Prince in the film. An orchestra of 67 perform in the opening track. The lead track Kiss won the Grammy in 1986 for best R&B Vocal Performance, a song which Prince had originally intended to give to former bandmate Brown Mark for his solo album Mazarati. Prince has never been entirely happy with the album version of Kiss nor much of Parade as he later admitted he lacked inspiration and considered the whole project rushed.
