Leave it to The New Yorker to come up with perhaps the best descriptions of AOA's sound: "gelatinous, futuristic R. & B." Yep, nailed it. Plus the review is a good read overall.

In “Breakfast Can Wait,” he pleads with his lover that she can’t “leave a black man in this state.” But that black man is in this state: he’s in his fifties, grappling with loneliness, aging, creative inspiration, self-doubt, a shifting cultural landscape, and love. As luck would have it, he’s also Prince.

Im glad he is happy and lives in the present. The new albums are pretty solid! He just has to know that its the hardcore fans who listen to the old and new that mainly embrace his music. There should be nothing wrong with updating the older albums while moving forward, he should not segregate his past from his present, because they exsist in the present as well with every play.
