Our Take

PRINCE Welcome 2 America (Deluxe Edition) Review:

Say it with me now, "Welcome 2 America... again." Yes, folks, the purple maestro himself is back from the great beyond with a posthumous release that's got us all wondering, "What would Prince think?" Well, let me tell you, if he's anything like the rest of us mere mortals, he'd probably crack a smile at this funky, politically-charged gem.

The Deluxe Edition of Welcome 2 America offers up a tantalising blend of soulful grooves, blistering guitar solos, and that unmistakable falsetto that could melt even the coldest of hearts. Tracks like "Stand Up and B Strong" and "Born 2 Die" hit like a lightning bolt of social commentary, while "Hot Summer" and "1000 Light Years From Here" transport us to a celestial disco where we can shimmy and shake to our heart's content.

But it's not all rainbows and unicorns in Prince's world. The stripped-back intimacy of "One Day We Will All B Free" and "Same Page, Different Book" remind us that even the Purple One was prone to moments of introspection and vulnerability. It's a powerful reminder that even the most flamboyant of showmen had a heart that beat with the same doubts and fears as the rest of us.

So, dear readers, I implore you to welcome back our enigmatic friend with open arms. For in Welcome 2 America, Prince reminds us that even in death, his music will always reign supreme. Long live the purple reign!
