Apollonia 6Apollonia 6 Release Date 1984 Label Warner Bros. Rating: ![]() Apollonia Kotero replaced Vanity in the group. As Vanity 6 was a potent mix of camp, humor, and sex, Apollonia 6 didn't fare as well. Looks-wise, the trade was even up with Kotero adding a cute factor as well as a slightly more interesting voice. Shortly before this album was released Kotero was Prince's duet partner on one of Purple Rain's most enduring and identifiable tracks, &"Take Me With You." Nothing on this effort matches that greatness. The album's first track, &"Happy Birthday Mr. Christian" is Apollonia's self-penned sex ditty that tells the tale of a "teenaged" Apollonia having an affair with her principal. If anything, the track is a little too PG compared to Vanity 6's escapades. The horny synth-laden &"Sex Shooter" is a little better and has Kotero singing guilty pleasure gems like "I need you to be my main thang, play thang/Pillar of stone." Although Apollonia 6 had everyone from the Revolution and Sheila E contributing musical ideas on the tracks &"Blue Limousine" and &"A Million Miles (I Love You), the lyrics are derivative. The album's last track &"In a Spanish Villa" is nothing but ocean sounds, Wendy Melovin's guitars, and Apollonia speaking in one of her native tongues. Clocking in at 2:12, it's much too brief. While Prince's production company produced this effort, this effort caught him at a time when he was becoming a more "serious" artist and he offered none of his A tracks. Apollonia 6 had a disappointing chart run but further inspection has made this a viable part of the Minneapolis sound. Jason Elias, Rovi |
