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?

On Episode 120 of the Press Rewind – Prince Lyrics Podcast, Angel Monique joined me on Valentine’s Day to talk about a song so nice, Prince released it twice, “When 2 R In Love.” This Lovesexy and Black Album ballad is designed to express a sort of closeness that only two people deeply, madly, in love can understand.

Lovesexy: Press Rewind – Prince Lyrics Podcast



On Episode 119 of the Press Rewind – Prince Lyrics Podcast, Erica Thompson (APurpleDayInDecember.com) & I attempt to understand the deeper meanings behind the track “Lovesexy.” As the title track to this very spiritual yet sexy album, there must be more than meets the ear. Car metaphors, house/room/furniture double entendres, a vocal performance from Prince for the ages, and a hot take from me that might be considered blasphemous (I’m sorry!) It’s all here on this crazy-fun episode.

Dance On: Press Rewind – Prince Lyrics Podcast



On Episode 118 of the Press Rewind – Prince Lyrics Podcast, Eloy Lasanta & I take a deeper dive into the often ignored Lovesexy song, “Dance On.” Take a little bit of “1999” partying in the face of nuclear annihilation, add some “Sign o’ the Times” ripped from the headlines social topics, and add a dash of “Sexuality” look towards future generations for new ideas. The result of that concoction is this erratic but deeper than appearances project album track.

Make sure to check out Eloy’s Prince’s Friend YouTube channel to get your Prince fix on that social media platform. Listen to Eloy’s musical endeavor, Strays of the World, anywhere you stream music. Physical copies of the debut album, In My Head, can be purchased directly from the Strays website or on Bandcamp.

Anna Stesia: Press Rewind – Prince Lyrics Podcast



On Episode 117 of the Press Rewind – Prince Lyrics Podcast, Chris Lacy and I discuss the Lovesexy album (and tour) centerpiece, “Anna Stesia.” The song serves a vital role in Prince’s spiritual evolution as an expression of faith. It allows the listener to share in Prince’s joy when he wrote and recorded it, but most importantly, it’s a really good song!

Glam Slam: Press Rewind – Prince Lyrics Podcast



On Episode 116 of the Press Rewind – Prince Lyrics Podcast, Prince scholar, author, and #PrinceTwitterThread co-founder, Edgar Kruize and I talk about “Glam Slam” from his Lovesexy album. The song that introduced the name of Prince’s future nightclub also gave us “flicka nipple” and “baby scam,” so you can’t win them all.

Alphabet St.: Press Rewind – Prince Lyrics Podcast



On Episode 115 of the Press Rewind – Prince Lyrics Podcast, Jerry Bonner and I head on down to Tennessee to discuss Prince’s dirty, fun Lovesexy hit, “Alphabet St.” Despite an amateurish-looking music video and racy yet cleverly coded lyrics, this track still became the biggest hit from the album. Not to mention, an appearance from Cat! We need her to rap! Don’t just sit there and…watch.
