User Album Review
Prince’s creative peak (and his first album back again under his birth name). Perhaps The Rainbow Children is also his most inaccessible album to date, and thank god (literally!) that Prince decided to release this in stores rather than side step it as an internet only venture. Subscribers to the NPG Music Club were able to download the album as a single MP3, which as I look back on it now took four days to download the 48mb file through dial-up: this highlighted the biggest flaw of the club – it was too ahead of its time. Anyway, Prince had finally released an album that really did showcase his dexterity. Isn’t it sublime when you listen to an album and fall in love with every track. The Rainbow Children is beautiful, funky, yet musically inspiring, it takes music to higher levels in every sense of the word. It does not even take a second listen to grow to like it, you don’t know then why you liked it but you do and give it another go at which point its playability takes root. The Rainbow Children is easily one of Prince’s all-time best, although probably not to the taste of the casual listener. This is a collection of songs and that could only go together on the same album but are let down by the religious undertones which comes across too sermon like. One could hardly believe this is the man who also wrote Scarlet Pussy and Sexy MF still there are few albums as well crafted as this. Like fine wine Prince improves better over time. The Rainbow Children could well be the album Prince’s musical genius found its peak, a fact also underlined with the tour, his best to date. It also demonstrates the fruits of Prince’s hard fought musical freedom, for he would never have been allowed to release this under a conventional label. Yet it deftly blends funk, melody, lyrical godliness, with some truly stellar guitar. The title track and Family Name make the album, yet it is so nice to hear Prince being genuinely enjoying music making once again and not using his craft to bicker about the industry that made his name. Prince rediscovers music once again or had the music rediscovered him.
