Himself
Sign o' the Times es el disco más ecléctico que Prince haya grabado nunca, abarcando una enorme variedad de estilos, tales como Rock, Pop, Soul, Funk, algunas bases tomadas del Dance e incluso Jazz o Jazz Electrónico. Prince se hace cargo de absolutamente todo esta vez, desde la composición hasta la instrumentación (exceptuando los instrumentos de viento), pasando por los arreglos y la producción. Como resultado, y a diferencia de sus anteriores trabajos con The Revolution, Sign o' the Times suena más funk y más electrónico que sus predecesores. Muchos críticos coinciden en definir este disco como uno de los más aventurados y arriesgados por parte de Prince, resaltando el minimalismo casi extremo de algunos tracks como "Forever In My Life" o "It", o los innovadores arreglos en canciones tales como "The Ballad Of Dorothy Parker" o "Housequake".

On June 7th, 1986, Prince celebrated his 28th birthday by performing for a packed crowd at Detroit’s Cobo Arena. The show was filmed and edited for later broadcast in Europe and Japan as promotion for his then-forthcoming 1986 Parade tour, which hit eight countries in less than a month. The Parade tour never officially hit the United States, with Prince deciding to test the show out on audiences in a handful of cities across the country before taking it abroad. Fortunately, videotapes of the Detroit show have been circulating amongst hardcore Prince collectors for years and have found their way onto the internet so you can witness what was arguably Prince’s funkiest tour to date.
