Never would a true artist, like the one in question, be capable of tarnishing their own art by releasing a work they are not convinced of. 'Come' is a Jazz piece with a strong funky and RnB accent, led by an amazing horn section and bass: 11.13 minutes of genius.

The acoustic guitar lines in this album, in my opinion, are the best of Bob's career. "Meet Me in the Morning" is one of Bob’s best blues songs, a desperate cry of rage and despair.

Prince enjoys himself, literally, by reuniting his THE NEW POWER GENERATION with an expanded horn section. Putting so much together is only feasible if you are a 'genius' of music.
