One of Prince's standout talents was his ability to arrange music with a unique perspective. He treated the mix as a culinary creation, understanding that fewer ingredients necessitated a higher degree of purity and independence among the sounds. He likened his arrangement style to that of a master chef, where each ingredient had to assert itself fully within the mix. Post-Prince, many collaborating artists found it challenging to implement his philosophy of arrangement, which allowed listeners to focus on any instrument without losing the overall cohesion of the piece.
