Scarlet Pussy: Press Rewind – Prince Lyrics Podcast



On Episode 124 of the Press Rewind – Prince Lyrics Podcast, Todd Sanzone (@PRN4EVR on Twitter) and I break down the bawdy Camille track, “Scarlet Pussy.” The B-side to “I Wish U Heaven” couldn’t be further away from the themes presented on the A-side, but that’s ok. At the end of the day, it’s still Prince, no matter what he called himself in this song.

I Wish U Heaven: Press Rewind – Prince Lyrics Podcast



On Episode 121 of the Press Rewind – Prince Lyrics Podcast, Aisha Staggers and I talk about the third and final single from the Lovesexy album, “I Wish U Heaven.” Is Prince acting wistful and nostalgic towards past lovers, friends, and associates? Or is he using it as a high road kiss-off to those who choose not to follow him on his spiritual journey?
