Vanity 6

by Vanity 6

The 1534th greatest album of all time

Vanity 6 is the sole studio album from the female trio Vanity 6, released in 1982. The record is synth-driven and funk-oriented, combining drum machines, analog synthesizers, and tight funk guitar with sexually playful, dance-focused lyrics and arrangements. The project was assembled and largely written and produced by Prince, and it exemplifies the Minneapolis sound through its fusion of electronic production and classic R&B while drawing on early electro textures.
