yeah, what's going on with Prince?
this is off-topic, but given the fact that electronica is seized by
an exhaustive 1980s revival, it was only a matter of time before this
happened. (Well, I guess we've already had Thomas Brinkmann's cover
of "1999" couple years back)
yeah, Black Album has a nice Prince-meets-George Clinton feel, with
some really surprising sexual material...isn't there a song about
making a woman put on a wig at gunpoint? and what was that line about
a "bucket of squirrel meat"?? I think he screwed his career by not
releasing it and then quickly releasing the shitty "Love Sexy". And
not only did he pack "Love Sexy" with self-indulgent mediocrity, the
CD release had one track number for the whole album, so you couldn't
skip any of the particularly lousy songs. Soon he would be the artist
formerly known as Prince...
Most of his albums have some good tracks and a lot of mediocre (or
worse) tracks, the ones that are a bit more consistent, I'd say, are
"Black Album" "Dirty Mind" "Sign o' the Times" and "Parade". But
then, some of his best singles (eg "Controversy") are stuck on
throwaway albums...what to do..
avoid "Graffitti Bridge" like the plague, that's what...
I'm getting into Romanthony...his recent single "Never Fuck" is very
Princely, with all the excitement and embarrassment that entails.
Actually, if anyone has other Romanthony recommendations, I'm keen to
hear them.
