I am happy that the new album is getting away from jazz and back into the pop Don't get me wrong I love "the Rainbow Children". However, in many ways, I like "Rave un2 the Joy Fantastic" better and, although "Musicology" doesn't sound like "Rave", I am glad that Prince is getting back to the the traditional Prince salad of funk, pop, rock, etc.
I am excited by the fact that I can play "Musicology" at a party, or in the car, with friends, without having a darth vader narration/storyline/opera. I think a lot of us like to gloss over the fact that, besides being a serious musician/innovator, Prince is gifted writer of pop songs that don't really sound like everyone else's pop songs. I dunno just my 2 cents... happy new album listening. "New Power slide...." |

I totally agree man.
I like TRC too, but I've just really missed the classic Princely pop/rock/funk/soul etc. sound that he's so great at. Some of the more jazzy numbers on TRC just didn't do it for me. It ain't my genre. I haven't heard the new album yet, but it's great to see Prince get back to basics like this. Seems like he's made a really good pop album with Musicology. I wonder if the next album will be something really artistically daring, maybe kind of like the jump he made from Parade to SOTT back in the day? The world is a comedy for those who think and a tragedy for those who feel.
