What a major label can do for you

... if you're Prince.

Although I doubt even Universal's unstoppable hype machine could have made The Rainbow Children a megahit.

Am I the only one thinking 3121 ain't so hot? It's 80's rehash all over again. It has some song with incredible melody, but that's about it. The rest is completely boring. It's musicology rejigged.

I'll wait for Jolie Holland next album for something slightly jazzy and soulfull. At least her sample track has some daring composition.

yep, Prince 3121 album is tanking after a strong opening. The machine can only prop up mediocre music for so long. That album has no staying power.

People bound to finally catch up and move on.
