Támar proves Prince knows when to share spotlight
concert review R&B chanteuse -- and protégé of the Artist -- shows she's got what it takes for center stage.

Prince is a man of his word nowadays, which could have been an unfortunate thing for fans who attended his concert Saturday night at the Orpheum Theatre with his new protégé, Támar.
As promised, the sold-out show -- which his handlers announced on Tuesday as "Támar featuring Prince" -- was more about the young R&B chanteuse than the Rock and Roll Hall of Famer.
Even when Prince did take the spotlight, he stuck to the pledge he made on his 2004 Musicology Tour that future concerts would not include his old hits. Not only that, he didn't even play a song off his new album, "3121," which comes out March 21.
Fortunately, though, Támar proved to be one Prince sidekick worthy of getting pushed to center stage.
The 90-minute show started like few other Prince events: on time, and with the Artist himself in the shadows as he started up his new, modest but mighty four-piece band with a husband-and-wife rhythm section and holdover Morris Hayes on keys.
The starry entrance was all Támar's, as she shuffled out alongside twin-sister dancers who were with her the whole show -- her version of Tina Turner's Ikettes. She was definitely Tina-like in sound and appearance, too, with a bit of a Beyoncé and "American Idol" update.
Her set focused on hidden-gem cover tunes and new material, presumably taken from her upcoming debut album, which you-know-who produced. Of the originals, highlights included the all-funk opener "Every Little Step You Take" and the bouncy pop ballad "Milk and Honey." The latter had Prince written all over it, especially the hook, "You're my milk and honey/ I want to spend money on you."
Támar was at her best in a pair of soulful, down-and-out covers, Meli'sa Morgan's "Love Changes" and "Never Loved a Man" (recorded by Aretha Franklin and others). In the latter, she belted out loud enough to be heard down at Prince's place in Chanhassen, while the band soared with a Muscle Shoals kind of power soul.
After a quick costume change, the show turned heavy as a Cemstone truck. Prince got off like Deep Purple's Richie Blackmore in "Red Headed Stepchild" (not the Golden Smog tune). That was followed by a dual Michael/Janet Jackson pairing, "Don't Stop Till You Get Enough" and "What Have You Done For Me Lately" (perhaps the first time he has covered his '80s rival).
Prince finally took the mike for a blasting take on "Party Man," from his 1989 "Batman" soundtrack, and that led to an elementary run-through of "Play That Funky Music."
Fans didn't seem too disappointed there wasn't more Prince (and perhaps the after-party at Paisley Park made up for it).
"Even a half-hour of Prince is better than most," said Erik Cagle, a longtime fan from St. Cloud.
Actually, 90 minutes of Prince as sideman is still pretty special when it's an artist he and the crowd clearly believed in.
