It was his third album and bold in every way you could imagine, from the sexually explicit lyrics to the album cover featuring Prince wearing a bandana, a trench coat, and bikini underwear. Dirty Mind was a pushback against a music industry that was stuck in its ways. In 1980, disco was pretty much dead, and if you were a black artist, your records were only played on black radio stations. Prince did not want to be labeled as just an R&B artist because he wanted to expand his audience and explore other genres.
