Of the Heart, Of the Soul and of the Cross
Released
PM Dawn’s remarkable debut resulted in both pop success and reflexive backlash from various hip-hop purists and peers, but time has shown that the evanescent fusions and stylistic variety of Of the Heart still bring joy. Prince Be’s ease in both MC flow and delighted and emotional singing would find multiple echoes in later decades, while references from gospel and spiritual soul to early electro and new wave abound.
