This Observer Music Monthly issue from February 2006 celebrates Prince’s dazzling return to form. The cover, shot by Martin Schoeller, presents him in full electric charisma — guitar in hand, eyes locked on the viewer — under the headline “Small but still perfectly formed – the irresistible return of a pop genius.” Barney Hoskyns’ feature inside explores the enduring mystery of Prince’s artistry, faith, and reinvention.
