About this listen

The real Prince in the words of those who knew him best - from award-winning author Touré.

Nothing Compares 2 U is an oral history built from years of interviews with dozens of people who were in Prince's inner circle - from childhood friends to band members to girlfriends to managers to engineers to photographers, and more - all providing unique insights into the man and the musician.

This revelatory book is a deeply personal and candid discussion of who Prince really was emotionally, professionally, and romantically. It tackles subjects never-before-discussed, including Prince's multiple personalities, his romantic relationships, his traumatic childhood and how it propelled him into his music career, and how he found the inspiration for some of his most important songs, including "Purple Rain", "Starfish and Coffee", and the unheard "Wally".

Nothing Compares 2 U paints the most complete picture yet written of the most important and most mysterious artist of his time.

Great sharing of insights into Prince. Would’ve been really cool to have each person read their own words, but still really good. Thanks for sharing.

Prince’s stories from people that were like his family was very insightful.

This one I loved so far, I really enjoyed learning so much personal on Prince. I have always had my own image of him as a lifelong fan and although I still don’t do well with anyone pointing out his flaws, he’s always been perfect in my eyes, but I feel like after this book I just love him even more. Thank you for sharing

I have 12 books on Prince in my library and this is by far the best. It’s real and honest. This and Mark Browns book I feel are the realest of all of them. It explains so much with those that lived around him. Of course we have heard many of these stories before but, I’ve never heard Susanna go into as much detail of her time with him. Very compelling., great job putting all this together!

I agree with another review that said out of many of the Prince books this gives the biggest look into him and his world. The stories told by his friends and music family were fun and heartwarming. He was intense, but that intensity drove him and those around him to be beyond the best. Prince wouldn’t be Prince without the intensity and mystical nature. If you are a Prince fan this is a fun read.

The best Prince book so far

I learned SO MUCH

This was a extremely intimate look in to the life of Prince. Insightful; surprising; thought provoking; revealing, etc. The story has a familiar ring to it, in that, we've lost many stars, who were surrounded by people that just sat by and watched them self destruct, and did nothing! Toure's narration is excellent, and helps one draw a picture of who the 'real' Prince was. Thank You Toure.
