Album Description:
The 1989 Prince album "Batman" is a soundtrack album for the Tim Burton film of the same name, which was released in the same year. The album features songs written and performed by Prince, as well as one song by Scottish singer Sheena Easton. The album's sound is a mix of funk, rock, and pop, with Prince's guitar work and signature falsetto vocals being the defining elements. The album's lead single, "Batdance," is a highly experimental song that samples dialogue from the film, incorporates elements of funk, rock, and hip-hop, and features an extended guitar solo. The album also features the popular ballad "Scandalous!," which was released as a single in 1994. In addition to Prince's contributions, the album also features the Sheena Easton song "The Arms of Orion," which was co-written by Prince. The song is a duet between Easton and Prince, and it features a lush, orchestral arrangement that sets it apart from the rest of the album. "Batman" was a commercial success, reaching #1 on the US Billboard 200 and #6 on the UK Albums Chart. The album's success was due in part to the popularity of the film, which starred Michael Keaton as Batman and Jack Nicholson as the Joker. The film's dark, gothic aesthetic and Prince's eclectic music helped to create a unique and memorable atmosphere that has since become a cult classic. |
