Adore

"Adore" is a song by Prince, and the last track on his 1987 double album Sign o' the Times. Adore is listed following the live track "It's Gonna Be a Beautiful Night", the crowd noise from which segues into Adore. A long, ornate slow jam featuring Atlanta Bliss and Eric Leeds on horns, it has been described by NME reviewer Paolo Hewitt as "a sugar ballad that harks back to the Stylistics but is indelibly Prince's, a lush yet remarkable piece of music, and a fitting climax". Despite never being released as a single, it received significant radio play, and became an occasional part of Prince's concert repertoire. A 4-minute-long edit of the song appears on the 1993 compilation album The Hits/The B-Sides, with the Girl 6 soundtrack album containing the full-length version. Prince's 2002 live album One Nite Alone... Live! includes a solo performance of "Adore" with piano accompaniment.
