Prince Be sounds like an estranged member of De La Soul, but he does more than rap. He also recites poetry and sings. It’s that latter skill layed over lush contemporary soul music that makes his songs easier on, if not more pleasant to, the ears.
If people have Heart and Soul, this is, on some aesthetic level, hearty soul music. Be, given his allegiance to The Cross, would probably attribute its tranquil vibes to his Father. The song dedicated to that God is spiritful and enchanting.
A warm Heavenly atmosphere seems to be the goal not just for After I Die but most of these songs. Memory Bliss owes its life to a Spandau ballet and Mirrors invokes the passion of Michael Jackson, but most of this album is refreshingly original.

audio review : Speechless ( song ) … Michael Jackson
This is Michael Jackson at his most mawkish, which isn’t necessarily something to frown upon. The problem is that there aren’t any soothing melodies to counter the nausea. “Your love is magical,” this teenage love poem insists, “I’ll go anywhere and do anything just to touch your face.” If a person were to say that to me with a straight face, I’d question their sanity.
The King proves he still has one of the best singing voices in Pop music; he begins and ends with an a cappella; and I like the way he ad-libs “You are always in my heart” like he did at the end of You Are Not Alone, but the ballad’s only true saving grace is the gorgeous orchestration happening in the background. It would do much better as a sap-free instrumental.

audio review : Hallelujah ( song ) … REM
A piano plays at 02:34. It’s panned to the right, but it should be mixed, louder than it is, in stereo. That or dead center. It should play repeatedly, perhaps as a continuous loop, so that the guitars, drums and what sounds like orchestral strings revolve around it.
As it is, REM’s Hallelujah, their final song as far as album chronology goes, struggles to lift itself up from the pits of mediocrity. The music carries with it the grandeur of a huge and historic cathedral. The verses are also enchanting. It’s the refrain that suffers.
