Synopsis

This beautifully designed photographic essay flows from Prince's sensational, unprecedented, record-breaking, sold-out 21 concerts in 21 nights at London's O2 Arena in 2007. Juxtaposing his dueling worlds of music and solitude, it will incorporate Prince's evocative poetry and lyrics to new songs and other selections, and 124 full-color, sumptuous, never-before-published images by celebrated photographer Randee St. Nicholas. As part of the dimensional experience, it will also feature "Indigo Nights," a CD capturing Prince's speak-easy, after-hours, raw, live after-show sessions of pure unadulterated jams. For the first time in 21 NIGHTS, Prince is seen behind the scenes. Randee St. Nicholas, renowned for her rich visuals, deft touch, and distinctive style, was given access to Prince's life and career, providing a nuanced and unparalleled view of the artist, accompanying him onstage, backstage, and into his sleeping quarters. "Indigo Nights," which includes the live version of the song "3121," will not be available in any other format.

A propos du livre

Revue de presse

‘The book is a collaboration with the photographer Randee St Nicholas, who followed Prince throughout his stay, and is clearly intended as something more substantial than a mere concert souvenir. It’s evident that the photo shoots were as much of an artistic project as the concerts themselves’ Independent on Sunday 5/10
‘Randee St Nicholas was given unprecedented on-stage access for each show at the O2 Arena in London, invitations to each after-show party and even a suite at the Dorchester, where the elusive musician was staying’ Daily Telegraph 4/10
'A lavish new book, 21 Nights, which is filled with behind-the-scenes photographs taken both backstage and in his hotel suite at the Dorchester. Don't look for any unguarded shots of him though; instead he looks stylish in all the book's 124 photos. Randee St Nicholas, who took them and has directed Prince videos, says that's because it is what he is really like. "It's not like he changes to go out and be Prince," he says. "The guy looks immaculate 24 hours a day." Nevertheless the coffee table book, which also includes Prince's latest lyrics and poetry and his new album of songs performed at the after-parties during the tour, Indigo Nights, offers rare glimpses into the current life of a star who has spent years keeping things as private as possible"
Sunday Express 12/10
‘Indigo Nights CD is a joyous live recording of Prince and co doing their thing at the after-part shows, which reminds you exactly why we worship the man’ Metro 2/10
‘Documenting Prince’s 2007 run at London’s O2 Arena, this coffee table book incorporates lyrics and poetry by The Purple One and exclusive photographs by Randee St Nicholas’ Glamour Nov issue
'A celebration of the American signer's 21-night reign at London's O2 Arena in summer 2007. If you were lucky enough to bag a ticket to one of the electrifying shows, you'll love this glossy visual reminder'
Elle, Dec issue
