"PRINCE
``The Rainbow Children'' (NPG)(*** out of 4)

Oh, happy day! Prince has returned. ``The Rainbow Children'' is his most solid effort in at least five years.

First released on his Web site, it's got everything good about the Minneapolis genius: humorous pokes at his own chameleonic and regal image, incendiary guitar work and supremely soulful vocals. Musically that translates into the jubilant James Brown grooves of ``The Work, Pt. 1,'' the gospel-jazz title track, the ethereally erotic ``Mellow'' and the vintage funk of ``1+1+1=3.''

Even the album's sometimes heavy-handed ``concept'' - which advocates love, faith and questioning revisionist history - reminds you of great records of yore such as ``Lovesexy.''

Whether you're down with the overall message or not, ``The Rainbow Children'' sounds colorful - and beautiful - to a longtime fan's ears."
