I think, judging on some of the songs he had parted to other people that sounded very 1990s, but also "Prince" (Tevin Campbell comes to mind) ...he didn't not know how to make 1990s "Prince" music

but obviously, I think the issue is that he tried to assimilate rather than to follow his muse as he always had. even if it wasn't '80s Prince it would have been "Prince" in some way
