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.

Donna/Nadara/Baby, Baby, Baby/Down a Long Lonely Road/Miss You: Press Rewind – Prince Lyrics Podcast



On episode 143 of the Press Rewind – Prince Lyrics PodcastI’m talking about five songs pulled from Prince’s vault recorded in late 1978 or early 1979 at his France Avenue home in Edina, MN. “Donna” and “Nadara” (or Nadera or Nadeara) are sensitive ballads written about mysterious (to us at least) women. “Baby, Baby, Baby” and “Down a Long Lonely Road” are sketches of songs without much substance. “Miss You” is a short but sweet melancholy ballad of lament. Some of these songs are more fully fleshed out than others, but all are worth a listen or two.
