major-label status, on a hidden track. That would be No. 18, a.k.a. "Pretty Man". A deep-fried groove and sax by guest Maceo Parker underpin a hilarious mock self-celebration ("I write a check and the bank bounce") that proves the Artist can flow at full power any time he wants to. And whether Rave will prove as durable as 1995's vastly underrated Gold Experience, it's a fine Prince (or whatever his name is) album. Here, he employs the likes of Sheryl Crow, Ani DiFranco and Eve to season his own blend, not to run off with the whole steaming pot. (Just to show who's boss, he includes a funky re-creation of Crow's hit "Everyday Is a Winding Road" that renders the song nearly unrecognisable.) The sounds here, from the parade-style balladry of "[Eye] Love U, But [Eye] Don't Trust U Anymore" to the frenetic title track, won't surprise longtime followers, but they won't find a lot of reasons to complain, either. --Rickey Wright
Advantages: varied style Disadvantages: at times seems like an attempt to sound commercial and 'modern'
...are commercia R&B and hip-hop. Rave Un2 The Joy Fantastic, So Far So Pleased and Baby Knows are more rock/pop orientated and I Love U But I Dont trust U anymore and wherever u go whatever u do are tender ballads.
generally the more commercial songs are about sex, as usual with prince. but the ballads are more meaningful. 'I Love U but...' i think is about the break up with his first wife, Mayte and is very sad and brilliant.
i would say if you ... ...Hits/B-Sides as they are a pretty good overview of what he is about. Maybe if you like commercial hip-hop and R&B you would like alot of this album and get into Prince thought that.
Its not his best overall work but, especially on some of the songs, there are still flashes of the brilliance that made him one of the biggest pop stars on the planet. ...
