BBC review of 3121 - with clip on Get on the Boat

http://www.bbc.co.uk/musi...3121.shtml

Prince revolutionised popular music 20 years ago, and it's taken that long for the world to catch up. It's a hard legacy for anyone to live up to.

The eclecticism of 3121 harks back to that 80s golden age. There's the addictive groove of the title track, the cheesy - but deeply satisfying - boss nova of "Te Amo Corazon", and a supremely competent funk work out by the name of "Get On The Boat".

Despite a few too many insipid ballads, it's his most focused album in years; devotees of classic Prince will love it. It's not anything new, but then changing the course of music twice in a lifetime is probably just a little too much to ask for...

Love the layered vocals on 3121. And Get on the Boat sounds good in that snippet too - loads of percussion, sounds like a party track. cool

First clips I've heard of the title track or "Get On The Boat". Sadly disappointed with the former, but the latter sounds interesting. Still you can't judge an album on two 30-second clips. I'll make my mind up tomorrow.
