Editing Lovesexy (section)

==Music==
The theme of the album is the struggle between good and evil. [[God]] and [[Satan]], virtue and sin (although, with the Gemini character that he developed in 1989, these "sides" may also represent "ego and alter-ego"), the perennial themes of Prince's work, mix as Prince climaxes to "Love is God, God is love, girls and boys love God above" in the song "Anna Stesia".

Prince referred to ''Lovesexy'' as a gospel album. It opens with a sermon of sorts; "Eye No", a positive energetic track advising people to be free from their vices and to reject Satan, and affirming his belief in God, while using his bully pulpit to encourage the listener to do the same. "Eye No" is a reworking of a song called "The Ball" from the unreleased ''[[Crystal Ball (unreleased album)|Crystal Ball]]''.{{sfn|Hahn|2003|p=124}} The song ends with a scale of horns and a segue of conversations (originally recorded on "Eye No"'s original version "The Ball" which segued into another song; the "conversations", or background party ambiance, was later used on the ''Graffiti Bridge'' album as a segue between "We Can Funk" and "Joy in Repetition") leading to the album's biggest-selling single, "[[Alphabet St.]]", which mixes [[dance music]], rock and [[Rapping|rap]] along with playful lyrics about sex, braggadocio, and the heavenly state of feeling "lovesexy". Next is "[[Glam Slam]]", a busy dance track which features Prince's full band. It speaks to the uplifting interlude between Prince and a woman, and how, when he fell down, she lifted him. It also praises the woman's love and sense of humanity. The song ends with an almost classical music string solo (performed on keyboard). Ending side one of the vinyl release is "Anna Stesia", a heartfelt confessional number divulging various sins of the flesh, and ends with Prince promising to dedicate his life and music to God.

Side two opens with the machine gun-like pace of "Dance On", which lambastes negative aspects of society, somewhat akin to "[[Sign o' the Times (song)|Sign O' the Times]]". The title track follows, described by Prince as "The feeling you get when you fall in love&nbsp;... not with a boy or girl but with the heavens above," and it is another energetic dance track; the "Good News" indeed Prince extols its virtues graphically and then he and [[Cat Glover]] share an orgasm, both using sped-up ''Camille''-like vocals, going from Prince's voice to Cat's. This leads into "When 2 R in Love", a sex-infused ballad recorded during the sessions for the untitled black album. Next is the almost sparse, but uplifting "[[I Wish U Heaven]]", which says that no matter what controversy or opposition one may bring, the result is still wishing your enemy the best. It follows a Biblical proverb about "blessing those that curse you, loving those that hate you, for it heaps hot coals on their heads". The last track is "Positivity", which echoes the theme of "Dance On". It extols the virtues of staying positive, while asking the listener to examine examples of negativity and negative aspects of the world; overlooking the quick thrill and pushing toward being positive throughout it. The song continuously asks the question "Have you had your plus sign today?" The vocals are sung, but the bridge and extended portions are more of a spoken rap-type style that Prince had started to display as early as "Annie Christian" in 1981. The song ends with sounds of water rushing and a river over keyboard chords. This final song was later given to [[Mavis Staples]] for her 1991 album, ''[[The Voice (Mavis Staples album)|The Voice]]''.
