Prince
Parade
3.25 out of 5
Highlights:
Kiss
Are we really going to keep pretending that Prince didn’t want to be The Beatles? First the psychedelia off Around the World... and then this.
Since our mandate is “rock” and other impactful work by notable artists of the era, I’m of two minds.
This is NOT rock. It’s a baroque assortment of psychedelic jazz and funk influenced tracks... but it’s Prince.
Ultimately, I was bored.
I clued in to Prince with Controversy, a decidedly ROCK piece of non rock. I stayed for Purple Rain. He’s losing me with these last two.
“Kiss” is the lure here. There’s nothing else nearly as good or interesting on this record.
