It is long overdue to return to the art and craft of music - that’s what this album is about. “Musicology has no boundaries or formats. “I am really an artist and a musician at heart, that’s what I do,” Prince said (per Rolling Stone). It not only helped him sell out 88 shows across the U.S., but it also drove the album’s success. Prince included the album’s cost in the ticket price for the tour. Later, Prince announced that everyone who bought a ticket to the tour would also get a copy of the album.
