Broken: Press Rewind – Prince Lyrics Podcast



On episode 148 of the Press Rewind – Prince Lyrics PodcastI talk about the unreleased companion to Dirty Mind’s “Gotta Broken Heart Again,” “Broken.” Prince still isn’t over being dumped, but at least he knows how to throw an awesome old-fashioned rave-up to celebrate his woes.

Lisa/Rough: Press Rewind – Prince Lyrics Podcast



On episode 146 of the Press Rewind – Prince Lyrics PodcastI head to Prince’s home studio in Orono, MN, where Prince recorded much of his Dirty Mind LP and a couple of unreleased gems, “Lisa” and “Rough.” Was “Lisa” written about his new keyboardist, Lisa Coleman? Was “Rough” intended for the first Time album? Listen to the episode and decide for yourself.

Hard to Get/If I Love You Tonight/The Loser/You (The Rebels): Press Rewind – Prince Lyrics Podcast



On episode 145 of the Press Rewind – Prince Lyrics PodcastI travel back to July 1979, Boulder, Colorado, to talk about the pseudo-side band project, The Rebels. Prince and his new touring band take time away from Minneapolis to write and record new music that never saw the light of day. I focus the episode on four Prince-penned tracks, “Hard to Get,” “If I Love You Tonight,” “The Loser,” and “You.”

Kiss Me Quick: Press Rewind – Prince Lyrics Podcast



On episode 144 of the Press Rewind – Prince Lyrics PodcastI cover an enjoyable disco banger, believed to have been recorded in 1979, “Kiss Me Quick.” Prince sings from a female perspective, possibly the first time he used pronouns to fit a prospective singer other than himself.
