Prince is back on form, and he’s on special - just $9.76 from Amazon. 3121, the latest album from funk legend Prince pays homage to his decades-long history in the music business, and yet still manages to sound fresh.

The Review :
Add 3121 to the mounting pile of evidence: Prince is the black Beck. He’s a whole lot sexier, no doubt, but there’s more to both musicians than image. All-out weirdness for one. Edginess for another. And a fine-tuned sense of how to combine the two to create some of the decade’s most vital music for a third. Prince–looking ageless in videos for the first two singles, the controversy-courting “Black Sweat” and the sauna-steeped “Te Amo Corazon”–proves fearless as ever here, folding fat slabs of disco-funk into rock, heaping measured doses of hip-hop atop soul-tinted jazz supports, and slamming Latin rhythms against old-school R&B riffs. Nothing sounds as slinky-stylish-smart. And nobody delivers quite so deliciously, especially when what they’re delivering is ultimately a madcap sonic mash.

The usual hype surrounding a Prince release attended this one; over the long-term, expect a few standouts within a way worth-it set to emerge. They include the danceable “Love”; the gospel-lite falsetto feast “Satisfied”; and the summer-breezy “Beautiful, Loved & Blessed.” –Tammy La Gorce
