“Romance 1600” is the second album by the singer-drummer-percussionist Sheila E. On this album Prince contributed some backing vocals, guitar, and bass guitar, and co-wrote/co-produced “A Love Bizarre”, a 12-minute epic that became a major hit. The album itself had many tracks that were personal and which help to support the embodiment of the thematic faux-French Renaissance episodic adventure that the lead single’s video and the album art intended to set up for the listening audience. During her break, she received a lot of media exposure, including appearing in the film Krush Groove, in which she performed “A Love Bizarre” and “Holly Rock”. She had also performed for a wide audience as an act on Prince and The Revolution’s Purple Rain Tour. “A Love Bizarre” was the album’s most successful single.
