Principality finally restored

Prince find his name back for Rainbow Children, mixing faith and science-fiction

It is the story of a man who lost his name in a juridical mess and found it back thanks to a S.F. Jesus. Eighties Fans were used to call him Prince. He was a boy , thin like a spider, that we noticed for his high voice and his habit to stroke his guitar. His tiny size and his sexual mood made him a candidate for the “smallest Sex Bomb” in the world history.
Musically, this Prince was mixing Funk and Pop to please both big Music Stores and lovers of unknown sensations.
The small crown did fall in the early nineties taken from him by a dispute with a Disc Empire. Since then, Prince Roger Nelson forbid himself to print his firstname on any new record. The artist new name was then “The Artist” , written as a symbol (….).

All this to say that, after a roaming decade, Principality of Minneapolis is just restored. Without any commercial promotion and without extra-US distribution, Prince is back as Prince with a deliciously huge CD. A sticker says “Controversial”. Why ? Maybe because “Rainbow Children” remembers awful days of Jazz-Rock but remains nevertheless, so exciting. All competencies, gathered in 20 years are given here with music such as : illuminated Soul, Church Choirs and Jazz that his father used to play on the piano.
Strings flows and weird voices are giving to the concept an electrifying strangeness. Lyrics as well. Prince’s faith is merged in a futuristic picture where Rainbow paradise and Queen Sheba are living.
