Lovesexy was a brighter, lighter, and more melodic release, inspired by the more spiritual direction that Prince's music had started to take in the second half of the decade. \"We need love and honesty, peace and harmony, positivity,\" he sings in the album's closing track, echoing the sentiment that courses throughout the album: after confronting society's deepest troubles in his earlier political work, Lovesexy sought to unite and uplift.

Having parted ways with long-time backing band The Revolution in 1986 and released a number of albums as a solo artist, Prince put together a new group: The New Power Generation. The band featured Rosie Gaines on keyboards and vocals, Michael B. on drums, Sonny T. on bass, Levi Seacer, Jr. on guitar, Tommy Barbarella on keyboards and the Game Boyz - a trio of dancers, vocalists\/rappers and percussionists.\u003cbr\u003eTheir first album together, 'Diamonds And Pearls', was released on 1st October 1991, eventually going double Platinum in the United States.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt the beginning of the same year, Prince and his band were invited to play two dates as part of Rock In Rio 2, the second edition of the Brazilian-based music festival, the largest in the world. The recording featured here comes from Prince’s first appearance at the event, when he headlined proceedings on Friday 18th January.\u003cbr\u003eThe result, presented here across two LPs, is perhaps one of the finest shows in musical history. With the crowd in the palm of his hand throughout, Prince put on a quite superlative performance, as thrilling as ever, and featured such legendary tracks as \"Purple Rain\", \"Kiss\", \"Nothing Compares 2 U\" and a medley of \"Baby I’m A Star\". Surprisingly given the man’s stature, he allows his co-vocalist Rosie Gaines to take lead duties on a couple of Aretha Franklin covers.\u003cbr\u003eCaptured here in the highest available quality, the entire performance remains a poignant reminder of what an immense talent the world has lost.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSIDE A:1.
