The Artist (Formerly Known As Prince) ‎– The Truth (LP)

The Truth is widely regarded as one of Prince’s most underappreciated hidden gems. Originally released as an accompaniment to the 1998 triple album Crystal Ball, which marked the first time that Prince released an album totally independently, The Truth was also the first Prince album to be labeled “acoustic,” though it does contain electronic instruments and elements, and it gave listeners an unprecedented chance to hear his songwriting and voice in a stripped-down presentation.

At its best, The Truth gives essential insight into both Prince's beliefs and talents; songs like the title song, "Don't Play Me," "3rd Eye," and "Welcome 2 The Dawn" speak to Prince's philosophies and personality in a way that is equally cryptic and revealing. "Circle Of Amour" is one of Prince's most unique tales of lust and regret, while "Comeback" is deeply heartbreaking as Prince remembers his deceased son, Amir. There is also the biting "One Of Your Tears," the sultry "Dionne," and the brassy "Man In A Uniform," all of which put Prince's sense of humour on magnificent display.
