FIRST 3121 REVIEW from Billboard Here is the first review of 3121:
Prince is one of those rare artists who can remain relevant without compromising his eccentric style. Though his last few albums have been less than stellar, "3121" is a testament to the singer's versatility and musicianship. The 12-track set runs the gamut from uptempo pop ("Fury") to steamy R&B ("Incense and Candles"). It also finds Prince revisiting racier themes, as on the bluesy bedroom ballad "Satisfied" and the guitar-driven "Lolita," a potential pop hit about affection for a younger woman. While "Black Sweat" is too erratic, live instrumentation is celebrated as usual (saxman Maceo Parker graces "Get on the Boat"). Despite several lukewarm tracks, "3121" proves that Prince has not lost his luster and could very well return him to the top of the charts.—Clover Hope | |
