Music Review: Let Us Flow: The Reviews
Rating: 5 Stars
This is not Prince's best and not his worst either. With the added Bria Valente cd, it gives Lotusflow3er the extra spice it needs to be a bonafied Prince classic affair. With 3 cds to choose from, each cd can conjur up whatever Prince mood your in. I actually got really into the Bria cd, it's new and fresh music you don't quite hear anymore. It's like Vanity lite with a breathe mint. Her voice is a little more soulful than Vanity and Apollonia but still evokes that latina passion intensity we all have grown to love. Here is a breakdown of her album:
1. Here Eye Come: 5/5 a sexual groove with cool lyrics and vocals. I think Prince had to write this song. I imagine it being played in a love scene with Eva Longoria on Desperate Housewives. Strange!
2. All This Love: 4/5 a drippy love jam u can sing a long 2.
3. Home: 5/5 the best song on the cd. The lyrics and vocals are Bria at her best. It reminds me of something Martika would have sung 4 Prince during that era in the 90's.
4. Something U Already Know: 3/5 ur basic Bria jam, they could've added alittle sumthin sumthin to make it stand out more.
5. Everytime: 4/5 She has a video to this song, only saw a clip. It's a airy jazzy jam that grows on u.
6. 2Nite: 3/5 I think they intended this 2 be a club jam but it comes across as amateur dance material with Vanity type vocals.
7. Anotha Boy: 3/5 If we lived in another world this could be a #1 pop hit but we ain't livin' in that kinda world no mo. Cute song but it's not the 80's.
8. Kept Woman: 5/5 My fave song. I can play it over and over. I love the lyrics and vocals are amazing. Bria shows that she's not a one trick pony.
9. Immersion: 4/5 a mystical groove with creative and intense lyrics. It puts u in a trance of Bria's mysterious world.
10. Elixer: 4/5 A strange duet with Prince. A foreshadow of what's to come in Lotusflow3er.
Lotusflow3er is the centerpiece of this Prince affair. It's the mystical cd that is more grounded in Beatlesque mystique and rooted in rock, rhythm and blues.
1. From The Lotus: 2/5 not quite into this ordinary elevator type music intro.
2. Boom: 3/5 Tick, Tick Boom..... I liked that song better than this. It's a typical Prince rock jam that doesn't hit the mark for me. Not a memorable song in my oppinion.
3. Crimson and Clover: 5/5 considering I perform this song live, Prince copied me! I love his version but what ruins it for me is the fading in and out of the vocals. He ruined the song for me by doing this, the effect does not work, it makes it seem like there's something wrong with your stereo.
4. 4Ever: 4/5 a soulful luv groove, peace luv and happiness. Prince could have added more to the song to make it more creative.
5. Colonized Mind: 5/5 my fave song. I heard someone jamming this in their car and it sparked up a Prince conversation. I luv the lyrics and the vibe on this one. Classic Prince.
6. Feel Good, Feel Better..: 4/5 a jazzy Prince jam that will sound great performed live.
7. Love Like Jazz: 3/5 Ok Prince we get it.
8. 77 Beverly Park: 3/5 instrumental groove that sounds a bit like the instrumentation of the song "With You". A friend played this song on repeat for literally 2 weeks to chase a roomate out of his apartment b cuz he didn't pay his rent.
9. Wall Of Berlin: 4/5 a rock affair with crazy Prince lyrics. it has 2 grow on u.
10. $: 5/5 a funky Prince jam with cool vocals. Luv or $? $$$!
11. Dreamer: 4/5 guitar oriented Prince jam thatrocks u out.
12. Back 2 Lotus: 2/5 filler track not needed.
MPLSOUND is Prince covering all of his previous sounds from the past. It's like Prince imitating Prince, if that makes sense. i prefer his previous work but this is cool new Prince stuff so ya can't complain.
1. There'll Never be Another: 4/5 a bit repetative but has a cool breakdown. His name is Prince!
2. Chocolate Box: 3/5 I really liked it at first but after a couple listens, it gets so repetative and goes on for 2 long. That worked on the 1999 album but not here!
3.Dance 4 Me: 5/5 my fave song on the cd. Camille returns on vocals, a party jam 4 me and U.
4. U're Gonna C Me: 4/5 Entertainment Weekly said this is the best song on the entire LotusFlow3er cd collection. Not quite but it is a cute slow jam with infectuous lyrics. Not Prince's best!
5. Here: 3/5 Ugh......that's it, just Ugh.
6. Valentina: 4/5 a song that makes u wanna ask Prince the story behind this song. Who is he singing about, Sofia Loren?? A strange song and a bit repetative.
7. Better With Time: 3/5 another one of those new Prince ballads that just doesn't compare to the classics, "Insatiable", "Do Me Baby" etc... How will he ever top himself. It sounds like Prince wanted to make this a hit, good luck.
8. Ol Skool Company: 2/5 I'm sorry I hate this song. This is the same artist who did "Housequake"? This is a pale imitation of a dance jam Prince used to be able to do. He could have added some old skool samples, the beat is lazy and just stupid. He does give shout outs to Sheila E and The Time.
9. No Mo Candy 4 U: 5/5 maybe he wrote this song about me, cuz it sounds like I'm dissing Prince on the internet. hey, i don't have to like EVERY song on a prince album, but I love this song. It's Dirty Mindesque, the vocals are spazzy and intense and the song has a raw 80's energy. Yes Prince, I want some mo candy, baby!!!! GIVE IT 2 ME!
