Sep 21, 2018A genius in the making. Recorded in one take with only Prince and a microphone this stellar set of songs shows how amazing he was not only as a songwriter but also a performer.
Required reading while listening to this amazing set...enjoy. #LIVE4LOVE

The WireNov 15, 2018This collection, and its atmosphere of sharing a bench with the 20th century’s Mozart as he explores still nascent songs, is an appropriately seductive tease to what will doubtless be a decades-long unearthing of the vault’s untold treasures. The songs themselves, as they’re presented here, really are secondary to this feeling, something like finding a just unearthed message from a departed loved one. [Dec 2018, p.69]

Sep 27, 2018Despite its intimacy, Piano & A Microphone doesn’t feel like trespassing on Prince because it doesn’t truly expose him. This recording doesn’t reveal the nuts-and-bolts inner workings of one of the greatest artists of all time. How could it? We get to listen as a visionary works with simple tools--and in the end, Prince’s genius remains as mysterious as ever.
