This is probably Prince's most commercially accessible album since 'Purple Rain'. Though I could never give a Prince album 5 stars as there are usually 1 or 2 tracks I find myself skipping over, I could not tell anyone this is not a 5 star talent at work. An album like this outlasts its peers by being distinctive in its style and inventive in its output. Prince's experiments with rap and hip-hop don't always work, but when they do the effect is staggeringly good. Take 'Gett Off' - a grinding, thumping track with some of the most tongue-in-cheek lyrics I've ever heard. One of my favourites is 'Tonight you're a star.. and I'm a Big Dipper'. Pure genius. 'Cream' is another standout track with a striking guitar sound and a compulsively toe-tappable rhythm. 'Diamonds and Pearls' was probably the major hit - no matter how experimental he gets, he never loses an ear for a good tune - grandly helped along by by mighty voice of Rosie Gaines. 'Money Don't Matter 2Night' is a rather touching commentary on the state of the world, as is 'Live 4 Love'. Whether Prince is your 'thing' or not, you cannot deny he is a prodigious talent. As a body of work 'Diamonds and Pearls' stands up today and still satisfies the ear - as a part of Prince's rather voluminous back catalogue it is indispensable.

I have this album on tape, but soon enough I'm not gonna be able to resist buying it on CD! "Thunder" is a rollercoaster funkstravaganza, "Diamonds and Pearls" is an excellent NPG power ballad, "Cream" is smooth, "Strollin'" is too, "Walk Don't Walk" is a clever track about individuality, and "Money Don't Matter 2 Night" is a subtle pleasing mid-tempo number. Even the appalling "Daddy Pop" can't ruin this album, it's brilliant.

OVERALL GRADE: 9/10
the best songs are 5 of the 6 singles, "Gett Off", "Cream", "Diamonds and Pearls", "Thunder", "Money Don't Matter 2 Night". The other single "Insatiable" features Prince using his falsetto, rather badly. A very good album to say the least.

Prince Sells Out
Being a huge fan of Prince in the 80s, this album came as quite a shock when it was released in 1991. I was used to the weird innovative sounds The Purple One could create. Read more
