Jul 30, 2021It seems like Prince just finished this album within the year as some of the material seems so current to today although he passed in 2016. It is chock full of Prince in all his glory I expect many singles from this one solid production with backing vocals i.e Hot Summer and the the title track but Prince fans young and old will love it!

Jul 30, 2021Four great tracks on this album, 1000 Lights Years, When She Comes, One Day We Will All B Free, and 1010 Rin Tin Tin. Yes, and Stand Up and B Strong are growers. Check The Record and Same Page, Different Book are decent. The rest I can take or leave, but a better album than I expected.

The WireSep 1, 2021Though it’s no concept album, eight of the 12 tracks address either social issues or spiritual solutions. There’s the odd Prince bit of obscure esoterica but mostly it’s direct and effective. ... Welcome 2 America is vital enough to render such matters moot. it’s the sound of Prince truly not giving a damn and that should be edge enough for anybody. [Sep 2021, p.70]

Aug 5, 2021Although none of the tracks on Welcome 2 America stand up to Prince at his mid-late ’80s best, there are some songs which come close.

Aug 4, 2021It was and is a spotty album from a time when Prince was making a lot of those.
