PRINCE Come
PRODUCER: Prince
Paisley Park/Warner Bros. 45700

Last album Prince recorded before glyphing out last year is harder-edged and more direct than his '92 release with the New Power Generation. From the sexual come-on of the title track to the gospel vocal of "Solo" to the dance floor intensity of "Pheromone," "Race," and the quasi-industrial "Loose," this is a restless record that pushes the limits of the artist's talents as songwriter, performer, and producer. As usual, panformatic approach is bound to land him on pop, R&B, rhythm/crossover, and AC playlists, starting with lead single "Letitgo." A work that proves that Prince, despite his ever-changing moods, remains one of the greatest in the business.
