"Going Down Y'all, Like The Wall of Berlin"

It's a truly truly awful line but it's thankfully lost in the rest of the rather great new Prince album, 3121.

I was singing along with the opening title tune by the end of the first listen and although track 3, Te Amo Corazen is a slightly dreary ballad and easily the weaktest track on the album, it picks up again quite nicely with the value Prince's "candle" being discussed in what will probably be a single release "Incense and Candle".

In fabulous falsetto fashion Prince goes all retro with one of his classic fuck me songs on "Satisfied" and is brilliant from then to the end. This is isn't intended as an album review so I won't go to the extent of detailing every track but from here on in it's a pretty flawless Prince performance.

Now available.
