40 albums vs 3 albums

Prince released 40 albums. D'Angelo released 3. They're both considered geniuses. So what does output actually have to do with greatness? From Stevie Wonder's run of five classics in five years, to James Brown flooding the market on purpose, to Prince pulling Sign o' the Times from three shelved albums, there's something happening when artists work at volume that you can't manufacture by taking your time. But D'Angelo and Frank Ocean didn't need 40 albums to reshape how music gets made. So is releasing a lot of music part of the artistry or something else entirely? #Prince #StevieWonder #JamesBrown #DAngelo #FrankOcean #MusicHistory #GrooveMusic #SoulMusic #MusicAnalysis #RecordProduction #MusicNerd #FunkMusic
