Releasing the album as a single track download plainly shows that Prince felt this was one story that needed to be heard as a whole (just like Lovesexy).
This was the album that clearly proclaimed him as a convert to the Jehovah’s Witness Protection Society Church Incorporated™ and there is clearly an overarching concept and story-line that he’s trying to weave throughout this record that speaks to his belief system at the time. The Rainbow Children is his ‘coming out’ album. This was Prince’s worst selling album ever up to that point (I believe HitNRun might now be giving it a run for its lack of money). It was also the first record he released after he changed his name back to Prince after being known as 0(+> for a number of years. Releasing so soon after September 11 probably didn’t help either. Five months prior to this release () Warner Brothers released The Very Best Of Prince, essentially killing any hope this record had of creating any “Prince buzz” amongst the lay music buying public. The hard copy CD came out the following month in November and it thankfully wasn’t a repeat of the Lovesexy experiment (you can skip “Wedding Feast!”). This album was originally released through the NPG Music Club website on 16 October 2001 as a single track download. The opening track from Prince’s twenty fourth album – The Rainbow Children.
