If Art Official Age is a juicy reaffirmation of Prince pop basics, Plectrumelectrum, his collaborative album with 3rdEyeGirl, represents a more intriguing departure, even if it too reaches back into the past, making a bold connection with a time when Jimi Hendrix was the last great black American rock star, before funk really left rock 'n' roll to the white man.
There is more than a whiff of Hendrix about the bravura title-track instrumental, a mesh of thick twin guitar hooks and free flying improvised solos over a rolling groove that keeps shifting beneath the heavy rock surface. It is, really, this underlying funkiness that makes Prince’s rock so alive, while the act of performing with other players of skill and character (guitarist Donna Grantis, bassist Ida Nielsen and drummer Hannah Ford Welton) adds a meaty, organic character to the whole album.
