Released in 1981, Controversy stands as one of Prince's most daring artistic statements — a genre-bending record that boldly sits at the crossroads of funk, rock, and new wave. The album produced two Billboard Dance Chart number-one singles with "Controversy" and "Let's Work," while floor-filling anthems like "Sexuality" pushed boundaries by challenging identity norms with pulsating basslines and gleaming synth-pop riffs.
This 2022 pressing from NPG Records and The Prince Estate brings Controversy back to vinyl in style, issued with a replica poster and housed in an antistatic inner sleeve. Manufactured and distributed by Sony Music Entertainment, this new repressing is an excellent opportunity for both longtime fans and collectors to own a quality edition of a landmark album in Prince's catalog.
