Cindy C: Press Rewind – Prince Lyrics Podcast



On Episode 108 of the Press Rewind – Prince Lyrics Podcast, Rhonda Nicole and I discuss the lyrics to the sometimes flattering but often disturbing “Cindy C.” The song comes off as a plea for attention from supermodel Cindy Crawford, but it also sounds desperate and a bit cruel. Like most Prince songs, any cringeworthy lyric blows are softened by a slammin’ groove and a dope, if plagiarized, rap by Cat Glover.

Make sure to check out Rhonda’s music on Spotify, Bandcamp, or through her website, rhondanicole.com.

Le Grind: Press Rewind – Prince Lyrics Podcast



On Episode 107 of the Press Rewind – Prince Lyrics Podcast, Micah Simpson from the Purple Underground YouTube channel is back to help me talk about this nouveau dance called “Le Grind,” which served as the opening track on Prince’s legendary Black Album aka The Funk Bible. While the Black Album has its dark moments, there is also a lot of fun as well, and this song is a funk and sweat-drenched good time.

Shockadelica: Press Rewind – Prince Lyrics Podcast



On Episode 106 of the Press Rewind – Prince Lyrics Podcast, Leslie Ballard joins me to talk about the witchy, raunchy, female empowerment anthem, “Shockadelica,” the B-side to “If I Was Your Girlfriend.” We spend time trying to decipher if Shockadelica is Camille, someone wholly unique, or even human. There’s a lot of pronoun confusion going on in this song, but maybe you just need to lay back and let Shockadelica do her thing.
