In Memoriam: Prince

"What's missing from pop music is danger." There are few artists who have fiercely and fearlessly pushed their limits to harness this danger to cultivate new sounds and auditory experiences - and none did so better than Prince. With his endlessly creative mind, genius abilities to seamlessly tie sounds across pop, rock, funk, soul, and R&B together, and transcendence as a performer, Prince was nothing short of a music icon, legend, and innovator. Never one to shy away from controversy, Prince not only created revolutionary albums and performed in groundbreaking tours, but consistently hunted for the “new” in music, a search that is evidenced in his apparent eclecticism and individuality.
