Listen "Diamonds and Pearls (1991)"
Episode Synopsis
Don't call it a comeback? After two soundtrack detours in 1989 and 1990, Prince returned in 1991 with his first proper album since LOVESEXY with DIAMONDS AND PEARLS.
Recognizing that hip hop was no fleeting fad while also dipping his feet into smooth adult contemporary sounds, the Purple One entered his 34th year with a brand new band, all new material, and determined to stay on the cutting edge. How does D&P hold up? Listen as Mike and Nathan break it down.
