Prince went back in the studio for eight weeks and recorded "Lovesexy". Released on May 10, 1988, "Lovesexy" serves as a spiritual opposite to the dark "The Black Album". Every song is a solo effort by Prince, except "Eye No", which was recorded with his backing band at the time. "Lovesexy" reached No. 11 on the "Billboard" 200 and No. 5 on the R&B albums chart. The lead single, "Alphabet St.", peaked at No. 8 on the Hot 100 and No. 3 on the R&B chart; it sold 750,000 copies.
