Very Underated!!!
Extremely underrated album! Many fickle fans, and 'wanna-be shock-jock' music critics, that were still stuck in the Purple Rain & Sign O' The Times era, were starting to become very critical of Prince by this time. But, once again, all haters were silenced, as The Purple One, released a brilliant opus. Although, a deeper, more jazz influenced funk sound had replaced the more rock and electronic inspired music of the Revolution days, this music is every bit the classic, and just as timeless! From the 1st 2 monsters - My Name Is Prince & Sexy M.F., to one of his best ever, jazz influenced jams - Love 2 the 9's, this album is well put 2gether. Damn U, is 4 nothing but a fine bottle of wine, and a little bit of quiet time. The effortless complexity of Morning Papers, followed by the warm weather, island feel of Blue Light, then on to the gospel inspired acoustics of 7, every song pleases. Religion, love, world politics, bedroom fantasies, and quite simply, just who the hell this GREAT artist is, are all showcased, like only this once in a lifetime talent can do! HIS NAME IS PRINCE, and HE IS FUNKY!!!Read full review
