Rave In2 the Joy Fantastic

Recorded entirely at Prince’s Paisley Park studio and released through his own NPG Records imprint, this 1997 album finds the Minneapolis Sound architect embracing maximalist arrangements across funk and pop rock. The 14-track set showcases Prince’s characteristic genre-hopping—from the strutting title track to the orchestral sweep of “The Most Beautiful Girl in the World”—while maintaining the synth-driven grooves and tight rhythmic pocket that defined his Minneapolis Sound legacy.
