Album Notes
Prince has never shied away from ambitious projects, and 2009's LOTUSFLOW3R/MPLSOUND/ELIXER is just the latest in a long, illustrious string. The three-disc package builds on the variety evident throughout Prince's career, mixing up rock, funk, R&B, silky-smooth balladry, and left-field genre influences. The third disc, ELIXER, is devoted to Prince's protégé, Bria Valente, who performs Prince-penned songs in the light, female R&B tradition of Prince-sponsored acts like Vanity 6.
But fans will be most interested in the first two discs, which feature the man himself performing new material. LOTUSFLOW3R takes a page from psychedelic rock, and it's a pleasure to hear Prince bring his guitar to the fore and let his Hendrix-influenced playing loom large (right down to the distortion-drenched cover of "Crimson and Clover"). MPLSOUND finds the icon looking back to his funk-fueled earlier work, throwing in some falsetto ballads like "U're Gonna C Me." While the set doesn't prove as consistent as immediate predecessors such as 3121 and PLANET EARTH, it still delivers a monstrous amount of Prince for the price.
Industry Reviews
3.5 stars out of 5 -- On LOTUSFLOW3R, Prince has a specific mission: showcasing his long-underrated guitar playing....The music kicks into high gear when Prince starts soloing, delivering one epic face melter after another...
LOTUSFLOW3R has Prince channeling his Hendrix spirit guide on a cover of 'Crimson & Clover' shot through with riffs from 'Wild Thing'...
