Few artists have created a body of work as rich and varied as
Prince. During the '80s, he emerged as one of the most singular
talents of the rock & roll era, capable of seamlessly tying together
pop, funk, folk, and rock. Not only did he release a series of
groundbreaking albums; he toured frequently, produced albums and
wrote songs for many other artists, and recorded hundreds of songs
that still lie unreleased in his vaults. With each album he
released, Prince has shown remarkable stylistic growth and musical
diversity, constantly experimenting with different sounds, textures,
and genres. Occasionally, his music can be maddeningly inconsistent
because of this eclecticism, but his experiments frequently succeed;
no other contemporary artist can blend so many diverse styles into a
cohesive whole..
Prince was shooting for the top of the charts with "Graffiti
Bridge", and he missed. The movie was a disaster, causing the
soundtrack to sell very poorly. Despite its poor showing, "Graffiti
Bridge" is not a bad album; in fact, it's often very good. Prince
wrote all of the songs, but only performed a little over half the
tracks, leaving the rest for The Time, Mavis Staples, and Tevin
Campbell. With the exception of The Time's slamming "Release It" and
Campbell's "Round And Round", the best songs are the ones Prince
performed himself. The George Clinton collaboration "We Can Funk",
the psycho-blues of "The Question Of U", the sinewy single "Thieves
In The Temple", and the pop/rock of "Can't Stop This Feeling I Got",
"Tick, Tick, Bang" and "Elephants & Flowers" make "Graffiti Bridge"
a thoroughly enjoyable listen.
