His name is Prince....

...and he is quit funky.


I will make this very simple: if the rest of the new Prince album is as good as Black Sweat, it will be the best he has accomplished since the Revolution era. Black Sweat is just a half step away from being a less overt follow up to Erotic City and the video is excellent not only from a technical standpoint (director Sanaa Hamri seems to have a penchant for being subtle with tones and smooth cinematography. Her video for Prince's Musicology is one of the decades 10 best I think)
, but seeing the juxtaposition of Prince talking some of his typical loverman smack, while being the hunted rather than the hunter role in the video made for an amusing portrayal of himself. It was almost self-deprecating.
