PRINCE
Prince, that skinny guy who lives like a hermit in a huge purple house deep in the backwoods of Minneapolis, is back with yet another album. This time he seems to have toned down the experimentations that have guided his last two records—psychedelia on Around The World In A Day, and God-knows-what on Parade.

PRINCE
Prince, that skinny guy who lives like a hermit in a huge purple house deep in the backwoods of Minneapolis, is back with yet another album. This time he seems to have toned down the experimentations that have guided his last two records—psychedelia on Around The World In A Day, and God-knows-what on Parade. Prince’s new release, his first double album since his breakthrough 1999, returns him to the funky territory he knows best. While he hasn’t given up trying new musical directions, the new Sign O' The Times LP is built around a solid backbone of R&B rhythms.
Since his band, the Revolution, dissolved a while back, Prince was forced (as if he hadn’t planned it all along) to write, produce and perform virtually every track himself—although his upcoming tour will feature some new players, including the familiar figure of Sheila E.
