Prince and Randee St. Nicholas – 21 Nights
[book Amazon]

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.
