PRINCE
- ALBUM: ‘HIT n RUN’
- RECOMMENDED TRACK: ‘Hard rock lover’
OK it’s not Purple Rain or Sign O the Times, but it’s more value than anything Stevie Wonder has done for a long long time. To coin a phrase, even Paul Simon can’t keep it up. Joni doesn’t even try. What there is on this record is a sense of fun. There are also quite a few gentle jibes such as: “ I aint no rapper trying to be a singer.” Ouch! He goes on to demonstrate that the way to a lady’s heart (and other parts) is a rip roaring, top of the fretboard, screaming heavy metal guitar solo. I agree, even though I don’t suppose he cares. By the way, HIT and RUN is even better but only available as a download. Pity, I like something I can handle.
