Yeah self-aware Prince is a new idea to me.

"The Prince Funding Bill is passed. The system goes on-line August 4th, 2013. Human decisions are removed from strategic funk. Prince begins to learn at a geometric rate. It becomes self-aware at 2:14 a.m. Eastern time, August 29th. In a panic, they try to pull the plug."

its better than pretty much any of his albums from the past 10 years. the AOA one at least. it sounds like prince comfortable to be prince again. and hes making some effort again, which he hasnt done for years. some awful moments in there of course, but most of it is likeable enough, even if i dont really know how much i want to listen to it repeatedly. the 3rd eye girl one is pretty terrible. like TGE and chaos and disorder, but insipid and bloodless.

is it better than 3121? not even gonna listen to the trio record.
― festival culture (Jordan), Friday, 3 October 2014 23:01 (nine years ago) link
the trio record is a bit embarassing. AOA is better than 3121 or as good as. its funkier, anyway. and funkier in a way he hasnt been in decades.

it's also good as its basically prince sounding like prince but also sounding current without trying to sound like everyone else

It's a grower too. Found myself humming Way Back Home the other day.

this is actually like an old prince album where you can kind of imagine him making a live show out of it, the first song has a terrible rap on it but it sounds like a grand entrance kind of song (also makes me think prince dabbling in EDM = not actually so bad)

Dude has a really high standard to reach when he puts out new music.
Breakfast can Wait is def worth a listen.

"Breakfast Can Wait" came out so long ago, and is so much better than the rest of the album, that i feel like he must've spent the last year and a half trying in vain to make more songs of that caliber
he sounds more like Cartman than Camille on the pitched-up vocal on "FUNKNROLL"
