Vanity 6's self-titled album is a classic example of the Minneapolis sound, a style of funk and R&B that emerged from the city's music scene in the early 1980s. The group, which was formed by Prince and consisted of lead singer Vanity, Brenda Bennett, and Susan Moonsie, created a sexually charged and provocative image that was both controversial and alluring.
The album's most famous track, "Nasty Girl," is a quintessential example of the Minneapolis sound, with its funky bassline, synthesizer hooks, and seductive vocals. The song became a hit, reaching number one on the R&B charts and peaking at number seven on the pop charts.
The rest of the album is equally impressive, with songs like "Make-Up," "If a Girl Answers (Don't Hang Up)," and "Bite the Beat" showcasing the group's playful and provocative lyrics, as well as their tight harmonies and infectious beats. The album also features collaborations with Prince, who wrote and produced several of the tracks, including "Drive Me Wild" and "He's So Dull."
