Prince - Dream Factory

Review by Brian Huonker

Dream Factory, the fifth studio album by Prince, is a masterpiece of funk, rock, and R&B. The album was originally intended to be released in 1986 as a follow-up to Parade, but was eventually shelved and replaced by Sign o' the Times. However, in 2020, the album was finally released as part of the Super Deluxe Edition of Sign o' the Times.

The album features some of Prince's most iconic tracks, including "The Ballad of Dorothy Parker," "Starfish and Coffee," and "It's Gonna Be a Beautiful Night." The songs are a perfect blend of Prince's signature sound, with funky basslines, groovy guitar riffs, and soulful vocals. The album also features collaborations with other musicians, including Sheila E. and Wendy & Lisa.

Dream Factory showcases Prince's versatility as an artist, with each song showcasing a different aspect of his musical genius. From the slow-burning ballads to the high-energy dance tracks, the album is a journey through Prince's musical landscape.
