Condition of the Heart

Around the World in a Day is the seventh studio album by American recording artist Prince, and the third release on which his backing band the Revolution is billed. It was released on April 22, 1985, by Paisley Park Records and Warner Bros. Records. Departing somewhat from the commercial sound of his previous release, the massively successful Purple Rain (1984), the album instead saw Prince experimenting with psychedelic styles and more opulent textures. In compliance with Prince's wishes to "let the project be taken in its entirety before zeroing in on anything", the record company released the album with minimal publicity, withholding accompanying singles until almost a month after the album's release.
