New Power Soul by Prince & The New
Power Generation
Very Creative No Question!!
After Emancipations three discs and Crystal Balls four-pack, heres good
news for folks with day jobs: Newpower Soul is one CD. The bad news? It
may be less than two hours long, but it isnt any less indulgent or erratic.
The fault lies in the Artists seeming unwillingness to keep abreast of
musical trends. Its odd that a musician who, at his height, redefined black
music by going against the grain is now content to dredge up the most
innocuous prefab funk and expect his fans to take it as innovation. Where
once we partied like it was 1999, now the former Prince just wants us to
Push It Up! to a woeful reprise of Emancipations bland Jam of the Year.
This is funk as good-time boogie music, which of course it can be, but
once he infused the bass line with a sly apocalyptic vision that meant more
than just get down. Unfortunately, on Newpower Soul theres little to be
heard of the Artists raging guitar lines--a sign, perhaps, that the prolific star
has a rock record in the works? Best are midtempo tracks like Come On,
which motivates on a slinky slurred synth pattern and has that winking
sexuality we associate with the Artist. Not bad but not great either,
Newpower Soul is a minor speed bump on the long road that is the Artists
spectacular career. --Amy Linden
Personal Review: New Power Soul by Prince & The New Power
Generation
This is my first review on a Prince album. I can not beleive there are
reviews that negative about this gem! I mean sure we all have different
tastes and we are not alike, thankfully. Anyone who says this album is not

any good, has really not even listened to it at all, AT ALL, seriously, this
has got to be the most creative, sexual, one of them all, and not to mention
all the different styles and effects on this one! "The One" is truly beautiful
typical Prince song and all the great stories like on "Shoo-Bed-Ooh", and
the hardcore dance grooves like "Freaks on this side" and "New Power
Soul" and "Mad Sex" and "Push it up"!!!! Come on now people, please do
not keep others from this one, cause this is it! Prince shines on this album,
he is at almost his finest!
You all will love this album, trust me, get it, sit back and INJOY! I know I
do, even after all these years, and do not let the fact of that there were no
songs that were commercial on the cd stop, songs do not need to be
commercial to be good!!!
