Come
Released Aug 16, 1994
High Level Review
Ostensibly the first "posthumous" album (Prince is dead), the art is
dominated by death imagery, but the lyrics focus on a spritual rebirth theme.
While short in length, the music is as varied as most Prince albums, from the minimalist
Solo to the techno Loose! to the driving funk workout of
Pheremone. Prince's musical theme is variety.
Lyrics
The central theme of this album is stated as "This is the Dawning of a new
Spiritual Revolution." In it, Prince uses sex as a metaphor for enticing
his woman to Come... perhaps to physical pleasure, or perhaps to something
deeper. Most songs are about the trials of love, but
some are reflections upon other trials of life. It is a journey that ends in
a "song" entitled Orgasm.

The Critics
