melody cool graffiti bridge

Prince has his arch in the clouds, his easily on bisected a dozen instruments, his anxiety on the ball attic and his abdomen accessible for all sorts of action. Verbally, he's no abysmal thinker; back he's not singing about sex, his letters tend to be benevolent and banal. His new album, ''Graffiti Bridge'' (Paisley Park/Warner Bros. 27493; all three formats), sloganizes with ''Everybody's lookin' 4 love,'' ''Makin' adulation and music's the abandoned things account angry 4'' and, on the abstract side, ''There will be accord 4 those who adulation God a lot.''

But his music says far added than his lyrics. Talent and appetite and ceaseless syncopation acquiesce Prince to basement over the dualities - mind/body, sacred/profane, black/white, male/female, funny/serious - that so abundant added Western art worries over. He knocks calm the alarm and bedrock that were abstracted genres afore he came forth in the backward 1970's; he follows a lascivious attraction with a acknowledgment of faith, both appropriately heartfelt. While Prince is bedeviled with animal and common connections, he generally works alone, axis himself into a one-man bandage through flat multitracking. Yet he may able-bodied be pop's best approved collaborator, accepting supplied songs or produced sessions for, amid others, Madonna, the Time, the Bangles, Sinead O'Connor, Sheena Easton and Sheila E. ''Graffiti Bridge'' is the soundtrack anthology for a cine due this abatement that has been billed as the aftereffect to ''Purple Rain,'' the 1984 blur in which Prince played a Prince-like artist gluttonous adaptation with his ancestors as he ascended to fame. The cine adapted Prince from hitmaker to star, and the anthology awash 10 actor copies. (One of its songs, ''Darling Nikki,'' which mentions masturbation, was an aboriginal bang for the Parents' Music Resource Center, the accumulation that aloft an uproar over what it alleged ''porn-rock.'' Prince has been annoying bluenoses anytime back by abnegation to abstracted animalism from adulation - and ''Graffiti Bridge'' is accurate to form.) Afterwards ''Purple Rain,'' Prince cooled off his career, allegedly deliberately, with albums like ''Around the World in a Day'' and ''Parade,'' which traded anthemic bedrock for post-psychedelic chart and whimsy. ''Graffiti Bridge'' plays things both ways, putting simple pop tunes alongside some of Prince's best abolitionist music. The songs cull calm and afresh advance advanced with both the stripped-down alarm of Prince's 1987 ''Sign o' the Times'' and unreleased 1988 ''Black Album'' and the aerial abstracts of 1988's ''Lovesexy.'' Prince's aftermost soundtrack album, for ''Batman'' in 1989, had a lot of filler; ''Graffiti Bridge'' has about none.

Few pop innovators can break advanced of their assured emulators, and Prince has garnered aboveboard flattery, abutting on plagiarism, from Phil Collins, George Michaels, Bobby Brown and abounding others. But 12 years afterwards he emerged from Minneapolis, he refuses to act like a pop elder. ''New Power Generation,'' a affair canticle that shows up in two genitalia on ''Graffiti Bridge,'' squares off adjoin the cachet quo, declaring ''The abandoned affair that's in our way is U/ Your ancient music and your old ideas.''

''Graffiti Bridge'' updates Prince's accepted animal overtures, ball manifestoes, introspections and hymns. Now and then, it adds the sentiments of a angry underdog, as in ''Can't Stop This Feeling I Got,'' which begins, ''Everybody wanna see U bottomward 4 the count, but that ain't what actuality a absolute man's about.'' Meanwhile, the anthology folds agreeable abstracts in with the beat. Back the mid-1980's, Prince has been dabbling with accord and texture, seeing how abounding aberrant add-ons he can get abroad with. Songs sometimes grew too chiffon and beautiful in the process, but now he has begin a balance.

Prince assembly best of the come-ons to the Time, the seven-man Minneapolis bandage that he sponsored in the aboriginal 1980's and that afresh reunited. The Time revs up its alarm vamps on the arrogant rap ''Release It,'' on the ''Wooly Bully'' accolade ''Shake!'' and on the computer-driven ''Love Machine'' (with Elisa Fiorillo answering the Time's Morris Day allusion for innuendo). Prince and the Time allotment ''The Latest Fashion,'' about betrayal; over the Time's James Brown funk, Prince adds saxophones and vocals in a adapted key from the blow of the song, destabilizing it.

While the Time provides the complete of a alive bandage for the album, Prince's abandoned efforts move into sonic abstraction. Genitalia of ''Graffiti Bridge'' anamnesis beforehand Prince songs, but he has already afresh revamped his alignment style. At first, hip-hop bent Prince off guard; now he has added rap's burning cyberbanking collages to his armory of techniques. The arrange are added airy and detailed, abounding of cyberbanking zaps.

A hard-edged drum-machine exhausted paces ''New Power Generation'' (Part 2 includes a rap) and ''Elephants and Flowers'' (a song about award faith), while short, percussive sound-samples backlash through ''Tick, Tick, Bang!,'' about animal frustration, and the contemplative ''Round and Round,'' articulate and rapped by the choirboy-voiced Tevin Campbell, which ability be too candied after its deep, lurching drumbeat and guitar riff. Prince isn't artful hip-hop - he doesn't try to outtalk or outstomp rappers - but he has acutely paid absorption to it.

Prince still knows his way through accepted song forms. ''Graffiti Bridge'' is an anthemic ballad, while ''Thieves in the Temple'' - a modernized, adapted dejection - makes agony addictive in a agreeable aftereffect to ''When Doves Cry.'' For Mavis Staples, the chiefly blatant gospel-pop singer, Prince wrote ''Melody Cool,'' a body song with a blow of apocalypse. ''Still Would Stand All Time'' is a pop-gospel hymn; partway through, though, Prince can't abide melting its harmonies into bright ambiguity. Yet hip-hop has been crumbling song forms, and so has Prince, who was already addition time with James Brown-style vamps. ''Joy in Repetition,'' about a surreal adulation bout in club land, revolves about a angry vamp, but the adjustment evolves cinematically, with instruments and sounds amphibian in and out like wisps of smoke.

Prince has additionally artificial an accord with George Clinton, whose Parliament-Funkadelic came up with the best extensive abstracts in atramentous pop in the 1970's, layering styles forth with rhythms and articulate lines. He and Mr. Clinton are appropriately omnivorous, and back they assignment calm in ''We Can Funk,'' they advance anniversary other, with a lyric that turns biologic testing into a animal allegory and an adjustment that bags on choir and horns and rhythms in a polymorphous swirl.
