Our Editor's Take

Prince is the official podcast for the legendary artist Prince. Listeners will gain deeper knowledge from musicians that played alongside the visionary. Released in 2019, this four-part podcast series is a thorough examination of Prince's history. It begins with a look into the 1999 album's creation. Musicians, friends, and scholars provide unique and heartwarming anecdotes. With exclusive samples of unreleased music at the time, this is a rare musical experience.

Part two of the podcast series is The Story of Sign O' The Times. Purple Rain was the artist's most popular album. But Sign O' The Times got the best critical reception. The album now feels more relevant than ever. Prince created this album during a huge health crisis. At the time, AIDS had become endemic. There was an ongoing threat of nuclear war. Deep political and social divides were evident across the US. Prince had a lot to say about the world around him. He showed the world that he was an artist who had matured musically and philosophically. And it was during this period that he disbanded The Revolution and abandoned the Dream Factory album. This part of the podcast series winds through a complex time in Prince's career.

The Story of Welcome 2 America is part three. It features a guest appearance from Shelby J, Prince's trusted vocalist. She breaks down how the album Welcome 2 America took shape. Here, listeners discover that Prince was even more of a genius than the world thought.

The final segment, The Story of Prince and The Revolution: Live looks back at 1984, the year Prince became a global superstar. Prince | Official Podcast analyzes the iconic discography of the sensational artist. Both new and old fans can immerse themselves in the enigmatic life of Prince.
