Paisley Diaries Volume 4 – Taja Sevelle
Taja Sevelle: Contagious Love
by Miles Marshall Lewis
1987 saw the release of two Madhouse albums, the greatestĀ PrinceĀ album of all time, the greatest protĆ©gĆ© record of Paisley Park Recordsā brief history, and a third Sheila E. album. The last of Princeās earliest signings (circa 1984) also finally made her debut in September 1987: 25-year-oldĀ Taja Sevelle.
As a teenager, Sevelle (born Nancy Richardson) sang in Manhattan Transfer-like jazz bands around Minneapolis and deejayed at local volunteer radio station KMOJ. Aware of her reputation, Prince approached her at First Avenue and asked for a demo; he initially wanted her to front another girl group. Soon she was cast as an extra inĀ Purple RainĀ and signed to the soon-to-be-launchedĀ Paisley Park RecordsĀ as a solo act. Recorded in Hollywood as a close collaboration with her eventual fiancĆ©, newbie producer Chico Bennett,Ā Taja SevelleĀ aimed squarely at a pop crossover audience. LikeĀ Jill JonesĀ a season earlier, the album commercially missed the target, never cracking theĀ BillboardĀ albums chart. (Both found one-hit-wonder success in Europe with their lead singles thoughāāMia Boccaā and āLove Is Contagious.ā)
