Billboard Review - Planet Earth

Nice Review from Billboard









Prince's decision to package this disc inside copies of tabloid newspaper the Mail infuriated British retailers. However, judging by the tracks that "Planet Earth" contains, he won't encounter fans' ire. While the album doesn't break new ground, there's plenty to like about its mix of pumping rock and old-school soul. The tight 10-tracker opens and closes with social commentaries (the title cut and "Resolution"). Both showcase Prince's dexterity on the guitar as he effortlessly rolls with intriguing tempo twists and turns. Marva King's delicious vocals set off the rollicking, funky ode to model "Chelsea Rodgers." Then Prince shifts gears to mellow on the smooth-flowing "Somewhere Here on Earth" and "Mr. Goodnight." With such longtime colleagues as Sheila E., Maceo Parker and Wendy & Lisa in tow, you can hear how much fun Prince is still having—and why he shouldn't be counted out as he approaches the 30th anniversary of his first chart hit. —Gail Mitchell

so the vocals on Chelsea Rodgers is Marva King and not Shelby as has seemed to be the majority opinion so far. Not that it matters to me.

Thanks for posting, short but good review.

Prince did NOT write this song. He doesn't perform on PE at all. How can he? He's deaf, and has a club foot. Every song is written, performed, and produced by Tora Tora.
