24 songs in the Soundtracks, at least 15 written by Prince. None attract my attention like his 80s music did.
I feel like I didn't understand this one. IC played an "angel" who got involved with both P and MD, to help gulf the rift between them, and encourage P not to give up on his idea of semi-religious lyrics presented in his pop-rock music, and having his own club which doesn't make much money because his new music is not very popular. But he's still a biker pursuing sex, and here's when he wears the jeans with the cutout hip sections.

Other performers include Tevin Campbell (b. '76, still active in music but not film), George Clinton and Mavis Staples. All perform Prince compositions.
P is wearing an early rendition of his forthcoming name symbol, somewhat visible in the poster. It's just a merger of the male/female symbol, without the extra flourish.
Rated 4.3 by 1.5k+ IMDb voters. That's just reactionary.
