This is probably to Princey for a lot of people, so I CW it (explicitly not for the actual album cover).
This is a really interesting and deep series of talks about the #LoveSexy artwork, especially the cover. They go from postmodernism and religion, via Walmart, to African and ancient Greek culture. There are many interesting gems in here and that for one album from 1988. This is the real #princeacademy!
