Non-Fiction Memoir
21 Nights--a first book by Prince and celebrated
photographer Randee St. Nicholas is a stunning multimedia
volume offering a rare glimpse into the life, lyrics and
mystique of one of the most notable and prolific musicians
of our time. This beautifully designed photographic essay
flows from Prince's sensational, unprecedented,
record-breaking, sold-out 21 concerts in 21 Nights at
London's 02 Arena in 2007. Giving insight into his dueling
worlds of performance and solitude, 21 Nights
incorporates Prince's evocative poetry and lyrics to new
songs and other selections, and 124 full-color, sumptuous
never-before-published images by Randee St. Nicholas. As
part of the multi-dimensional experience, it will also
include "Indigo Night," a CD--available only with the
book--capturing Prince's after-hours, live after-show
sessions--rare and profound moments of musical genius.
21 Nights takes the reader from the
passenger seat of a limousine zipping through the streets of
London to his sleeping quarters in a luxury hotel. In
between we see him and his phenomenal band of musicians,
singers and dancers backstage in the make up room to
onstage, bathed in purple lights and a fog of gray smoke.
Like a movie-in-a-book, readers are taken on his journey
from London to Prague, in a style that takes glam rock to a
new level.
Then there is poetry and lyrics that
reveal the heart and soul of Prince--in addition to his
incomparable talent. Going beyond the catchy hook, he
expresses himself on everything from the destructive forces
of war, greed and superficiality the life giving energy of
love, beauty, and--of course--music.
