Elevation
Our rating, out of 100 — and why.
AI-generated from five scored dimensions. An opinion, not a measurement.
The album blends energetic funk and R&B with reflective moments, showcasing Prince's versatility but lacking some cohesion.
What we noticed
- The album opens with a strong mid-tempo track, 'Thunder', followed by a series of upbeat songs that maintain a danceable groove.
- Several tracks feature layered vocal harmonies and call-and-response sections, particularly in 'Gett Off' and 'Cream'.
- The last three tracks slow the tempo significantly, creating a reflective atmosphere that contrasts with the earlier energy.

Significant within its genre. Reported but not counted — how far a record travelled describes its reception rather than the record, and a newer release has had less time to travel than an older one.
