Prince's New Album Is Unlike Anything You've Heard Before
Words: Gene Geter
Children Of The Rainbow Prince's New Album Is Unlike Anything You've Heard Before by Gene Geter In these troubled times, the world gets a perfectly timed album, Prince's The Rainbow Children because it's spiritually uplifting, lyrically exciting, musically daring and basically, kicks serious butt! The album cover is dynamite! It reminds me of the painting in the television series, "Good Times." The title track opens the album with a funky jazz feel and introduces the album's narrator, a heavy voice that's hard to understand the first few spins. A colorful chorus hook, "just like the sun, the Rainbow Children rise." The best part, singing and repeating the word "rise" as if it were angels in heaven! In "Muse 2 The Pharaoh," Prince shows D'angelo, Maxwell and even Bilal that they have nothing over him! Truly, a pretty and haunting musical gem. Prince doesn't plan to release any singles, but this one should be a single. He says, "this recording [The Rainbow Children] was intended 2 xperience in it's entirety." Remember Lovesexy? This album tells a story as well. | |
