Hips and Lips, Chips and Whips

Prince's latest offering, Musicology seems to be an album that people either love or hate. Older Prince fans looking for more of the 80's stuff they loved(Little Red Corvette, 1999, Purple Rain) might be disappointed. Time has not stood still for Prince, and nor have his musical sensibilities.

Musicology is a nice mix of soul, funk and unique amalgams of musical styles. The album is varied with each song standing on its own, yet seemingly belonging to the whole. Entertaining lyrics, good orchestration and high production values create a work that is both fun and a pleasurable listen.
