Stepping onto the world stage in 1978, Prince was already a wildly talented soul singer with an unusual taste for hard rock riffs and future-shock keyboard hooks. His sumptuous debut, For You, blends opulent disco-era arrangements with the raw lyrics and the wildly distinctive style that would quickly define him. While it’s not as expansive or experimental as the albums that followed, For You remains a luscious collection of offbeat electro-funk (“Soft and Wet”) and steamy slow jams (“Baby”).
