On the groove- savvy DIAMONDS AND PEARLS, the diminutive one made an impressive rebound after the less-than-stellar GRAFFITI BRIDGE, with his most consistent and vibrant album since 1987's brilliant SIGN O' THE TIMES. Apparently aware of the powerful influence of groups like NWA, Public Enemy and Tribe Called Quest, Prince tried his hand at the harder genre, unleashing vocalist Tonio M. for cocky raps on songs like "Daddy Pop" and "Willing and Able."As always, Prince indulges happily in his erotic wanderings, with the guttural grooves and propositions of "Cream" and "Gett Off" leaving little to the imagination. However, it is the laid-back groove of the insightful and simply sung "Money Don't Matter" which is the quiet highlight of DIAMONDS AND PEARLS. A thoughtful reflection on disillusionment in love, business and politics, "Money Don't Matter" is perhaps Prince's most overlooked four-minute masterpiece.

Diamonds & Pearls

Created: 07/06/06
I bought this CD because my extensive Prince CD collection was stolen out of my car and needed to replace them at a reasonable cost. Diamonds & Pearls is a very good CD. The classics "Cream," "Diamonds & Pearls," and "Gett Off" are present. Other gems include "Willing & Able," "Strollin," "Money Don't Matter 2 Night." The other songs are very good, but are just a little bit below the songs just mentioned. Prince has fun no matter what he does and this is proven in songs like "Daddy Pop" and "Push." It's interesting how the CD starts and ends with the two powerfully lyrical, though somewhat musically indulgent, songs of "Thunder" and "Live 4 Love."

Diamonds and Pearls - Prince (CD 1991)

Created: 18/01/09
Excellent CD. Most of the songs I had never heard of but really enjoyed. Loved that a couple of the songs were very different for Prince, but excellent nonetheless. Would recommend to individuals that like Prince.
