Come

by

Prince

Edit

In many ways one of his most brilliant quirky albums. "Come" is an exciting concept album that flows from everything to sex to abuse to racism to even more sex. The songs not only work great as written poetry but as great R&B music. The album starts out with the sex fest that is "Come" that is extremely long at over 10 minutes but is beat for beat hot rhythms. Followed is the even hotter "Pheromone". Great social commentary's come in the form of the story song "Papa" ("don't abuse your kids, or they'll end up like me.") and the awesome funk rap of "Race" ("I bleed, you bleed. Both the bold is red. Get it"). "Letitgo" is one of those great R&B gems that just doesn't get the radio play it deserves. It's a great funky number and is extremely heartfelt at the same time. "Orgasm" speaks for itself and is just a sex scene with some Prince music in the background. Talk about the conclusion. Maybe the best song on the set is a small gem that just hides within the middle. It's an electronic song called "Loose!" which pulsates with hot dance grooves and tons of funk. The CD is almost worth it just for that track. The album is full of not only great feeling and hot R&B sounds but has light faire like the mellow "Solo" and R&B ballad "Space". It's also Prince's last record and a great ending to an awesome career. The Artist has made some great stuff, but I think this Prince record is nearly untouchable. Eccentric music and creative stuff.

Anyone who listens to this album can hear for themselves that this is not his worst. I have been listening to his music from the beginning, and believe me he's had a handful of disappointing albums. This is not one of them. It is one of his funkiest/sexiest albums ever. I do not care very much for the personal lives or problems of an artist. The song is what you care about. This album contains several songs that will have you grooving to the beat. Songs like Space, Come, and Letitgo contain some of the craziest grooves he has ever concocted. You would have to be a biased, brain-dead "fan" in order not to feel the funk.
