His trademark mix of funk, R&B, and rock is at its grandest and most ambitious here. As usual, the multi-talented artist produced the album and provides most of the instrumentation himself. The elegantly unfolding sonic tapestry is marked by lush multitracked vocal harmonies, hard-grooving rhythms, and a kaleidoscope of keyboard colors and thick guitar tones. In keeping with the rest of the artist's discography, the reigning sentiment here is sensuality. A classic moment occurs on "Hot Wit U," where guest artist Eve offers a randy, explicit rap to which Prince responds by rhapsodizing about "the astral plane." It's this combination of high-minded spirituality and pure physicality that lies at the heart of JOY FANTASTIC's artistic tension and its ultimate aesthetic success. Delicate ballads like "Tangerine" share space with straight-up 4/4 rockers like "So Far, So Pleased" and the slow-jam R&B of the romantic "The Sun, the Moon and Stars." In a rare drop of the monolithic uber-artist mantle, the artist offers a deliciously funked-up cover of Sheryl Crow's "Everyday Is a Winding Road." Crow herself makes a guest appearance on the broken-hearted R&B lament "Man'O'War." Editorial Reviews Rolling Stone (01/20/2000) | |||||||||||||
Reviews  Rave Un2 The Joy FantasticReview created: 22/03/08 by: music_from_within ( 8 )  Im a massive prince fan so i like anything he produces. If your a prince fan then its a must have to put in your collection, which is the reason for my purchase of it. Review ID: 10000000006293563 Was this review helpful? Report this review  Fantastic? More Like LimptasticIt's sad when someone so talented, so creative and so intelligent offers something that just fails to achieve anything. The title track promises so much from the name yet it is just a mere paint by numbers funk number. Even the star line-up of help from Gwen Stefani, Eve and Sheryl Crow fail to add anything to this sorry watered down effort. I suppose one of the few reasons to buy this album is the unintentionally hilarious cover of "Everyday Is A Winding Road". However, this really is for completists only.
