Verdict: Strong sequel
Any fears that the guardians of Prince s musical legacy might be scraping the barrel can be safely dispelled for now.
The late singer s third posthumous album isn t quite up to the standard of his 1980s classics Purple Rain and Sign O The Times, but it isn t far off.
The latest dispatch from his Paisley Park vault, Welcome 2 America, is the most comprehensive piece of work to emerge since his death in 2016 from an accidental overdose of painkillers.
It was made in 2010 and mothballed as Prince went on tour, but it reiterates his genius as a soul man, rock singer and funk musician.
