Review: Prince and the New Power Generation strode into the 90s full power with Diamonds & Pearls, one of the all-time greats from the purple legend’s imperious canon. It’s a record which shows the full force of Prince’s songwriting power from the fired-up bangers like ‘Thunder’ and ‘Gett Off’ to the none-sexier ‘Cream’ through to the heart-melting ballads ‘Diamonds & Pearls’ and ‘Strollin’. It’s a plush, high-end sound which comes through in startling clarity on this remastered reissue. In line with the other recent Prince reissues, this is the definitive deluxe edition of the record presented across four discs bursting with alternative takes, remixes, B sides and unreleased gems which take us even deeper into the genius of one of the greatest to ever do it.
