What is Prince's greatest song from 1995?
March 13, 2019
Every Friday in March our Purple Hour (12pm and 7pm CST) will be turning into a Purple Current Time Machine. We will be taking a look at Prince's musical output for a specific year, (even if it was released significantly later) and you will be voting on the top tracks for that year. This means that Prince's output as a ghostwriter, producer, and collaborator are all fair game.
For our third installment, we've chosen 1995. It was a pivotal year for Prince, as he was in the midst of a years-long battle with his label, Warner Bros. Records, and released his first album, The Gold Experience, under his unpronounceable symbol. Although he was still writing and recording at a fast pace, some of the songs he created during this year wouldn't be released until later in the decade, making it a fascinating time to revisit in our Purple Current Time Machine.
