music critics. The song is powerful,
catchy, and at times, hilarious
and allows Prince an oppurtunity
to talk back to the people who
have dogged him over the years.
"I've got grooves and grooves up
on the shelves," he says, and if
those are as strong as "Daddy
Pop", Prince will be arounef a lot
longer than the "jesters" who defile
him.
Just as powerful (but slightly
fluffier) are "Cream" and "Strol
lin'", two songs with instantly memorable
(but incredibly simplistic)
choruses that you won't be able to
get out of your head. "Cream"
mines the pop vein and contains
Princely double entrees like "U got
the horn so why don't U blow it".
"Strollin' is slightly more peculiar
and has a jazzy feel to it that
would be more fitting on a Harry
Connick Jr. album. The lyrics to it
("We could get some roller skates/
We could skate around the lake")
are also quite loopy but somehow
Prince and the NPG make it work.

pop oriented. As the lead single,
"Gett Off', indicates, there are
some slammin' funk workouts,
too. "Push" is especially memorable,
featuring raps by Prince, Rosie,
and NPG dancer Tony M. that
detail how you should never give
up "until U get 2 higher ground"
and how you should be tolerant
and not "asunder the joy that
another man found."
The most autobiographical song
on the album is "Willing and
Able", a falsetto fueled acoustic
piece that serves as a proclamation.
Prince sings with heartfelt
confidence and declares that all his
"non-believers better fear" him because
for the first time in a while,
possibly for the first time ever, his
"vision is clear" and he's "feeling
kinda stable." The song seems to
indicate that Prince has overcome

the pitfalls that have plagued his
career and that he has a new mindset,
one in which he knows what
he has to do to get back on top and
even knows how to do it.
The best song on the album is
also the most ambitious and the
most complex. It's a seven minute
epic called "Live 4 Love" and in
it, Prince tells the tale of a fighter
pilot named Tommy who must decide
whether to bomb an enemy
target. With a screaming guitar, a
funky beat, and a various assortment
of mechanical and human
voices in the background, the track
is a feast for the ears and once
again has a positive message behind
it, about how "without love U
don't live."
The album, as great as it is, is
not perfect and does have some
backfires. For instance, the two
ballads, "Insatiable" and "Diamonds
and Pearls", seem somewhat
derivative of past Prince hits
and on the rap entry "Jughead",
Prince gives rapper Tony M. way
too much time. The worst of the
lot, "Money Doesn't Matter 2
Night", is just plain boring and
Prince's references to the Persian
Gulf War on it seem forced and
insincere.
Overall, there are more hits than
misses on "Diamonds and Pearls"
ana tne album, as the title indicates,
is a real gem. Admittedly,
it's not in the same class as
Prince's masterworks ("Graffiti
Bridge", "Sign 0' the Times"), but
the Prince on this album is a much
more honest one and less of a puton.
Maybe he doesn't reach as far
as he has in the past but he seems
genuinely knowledgeable of the
topics he does cover and seems to
want to convey what he has
learned. Prince just wants to talk
on this one and the only way you
can find out what he's trying to
say is to buy the album and
listen.(A-).
