LAURENCE KING PUBLISHING
★★★
The latest in what is proving to be a stellar series of Laurence King’s Lives Of The Musicians bios – artists featured to date include David Bowie, Amy Winehouse and Beyoncé – this trusty tome is, like its diminutive subject, small but perfectly formed.
As with previous entries, this is more of a career overview than an in-depth dive into the vaults of Paisley Park. If that’s what you’re looking for, seek out Duane Tudahl’s superb analysis of the singer’s 80s work.
