Music reviews of Prince - The Hits 1
Music Review: Prince
Rating: 5 Stars
The first CD of this two-CD set spans 20 years, and if you've never heard the man, it's a great way to discover his music. If it were up to me, I'd add a bit more from CONTROVERSY, but never mind. This is an excellent CD. The second CD is all new stuff, which quite naturally invites us to compare what he did then to what he's doing now. The new compares with the old quite nicely. He's mastered some new skills, which comes as no surprise at all.
Let me deal with the silly, since I've been listening to Prince since 1981. Why is his name Prince? Because that's the name his mother gave him. Prince Rogers Nelson, right there on his birth certificate. His race? Well, how stupid is this question? He addresses it on the CONTROVERSY album. But, he's not quite as specific as I'm gonna get. White father, mulatto mother. Both musicians, naturally. CONTROVERSY also alludes to questions of Prince's sexual preference, but that really is irrelevant.
As I've mentioned elsewhere in this rag, I just so happen to be an atheist. (If you look up that word in your dictionary, you will see "a fool who admits that ain't selling NO books.") Prince recently became a Jehovah's Witness. And yet, I love him and his music. Always have, probably always will.
If you've listened to Prince, you know he loves sex and he loves God, and that he probably knows a bit more about sex than he does about God. He might be too nasty to play on the radio or with children in the room, but he's spent pretty much all his life seeking the truth about life. To quote the title of one of his new songs, Every Day Is A Winding Road.
My man is raunchy, horny, witty, creative, brilliant, clever, and can play a guitar with the best of them. Or any instrument, for that matter. He taught himself piano at age 10. Many of his early albums feature him playing every single instrument. The band was just for concerts and background vocals. Prince's voice is better than it's ever been.
Kierkegaard's epitaph reads "That individual." I'd put Prince in that category. And my lovely cat Picasso. It's a place I'm aiming for but haven't reached yet.
Prince poured his heart and soul into his music for more than half his life. Then the bad contract stuff happened and he changed his name and went away for a while. But he kept writing. And now, he can sing what he wants again. He can make jokes with the Aussie reporter about yelling "Freebird" at the concert. He can reinvent himself, same as every author should be allowed to do whenever he/she wants. I certainly have.
I can listen to these CDs again, and again, and again. And love them every time. As long as he keeps doing what he's always done, I'll always be a fan. We're both evolving, yes, but his music never ceases to be musical. He just gets better, and I will keep listening.
