3121
Prince's number comes up
By DARRYL STERDAN -- Winnipeg Sun

Prince
3121
(NPG/Universal)

After years of wandering the musical wilderness, His Purple Majesty got his head back in the game with 2004's Musicology.

3121 is his next step on the comeback trail, with another dozen funky rumpshakers and slow jams that boast some pointed songcraft to go with all those retro-funky rhythms.

Purple Rain 2 it ain't, but it is one of his more accessible and less annoying discs in years.

Looks like 3121 is Prince's lucky number. And ours.
