That silly symbol phase firmly behind him, Prince Rogers Nelson kicked his career back into high gear in 2004, with his induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and the return-to-form Musicology. Although it would be nearly impossible for His Royal Badness to recapture his Purple Rain glory days, the disc signals that his genius has been revived, his energies newly refocused on making his music digestible for the masses. One thing that hasn't changed, however, is Prince's outspokenness. As he did on the social commentaries "Controversy" and "Sign 'O' the Times," here he uses his music as a platform to denounce the "holy war" on terror and racism. Regardless of whether or not Musicology lives up to its mission statement to inspire a new generation of artists to become musicians, it certainly marks the regal return of one of contemporary pop music's greatest talents.
