Manage episode 503063842 series 3673068
Welcome to Dovelectric. I am your host, Prince Rogers Nelson.
I'm here today to talk about my new music. This release is the sequel to Raspberry Beret.
This year, I have released more music albums under my new artist ID (link) Purple Fantasy than I did in the entire forty years prior.
It’s a double single called (link) “She Never Wore Much More” and (link) “Raspberry Beret on the Floor.”
This one’s not about fashion. It’s about what’s left behind. The song picks up after the music video fades — after the ride to the secondhand store, after the kiss.
One day, Eve told me she loves my classic songs that have stories. She asked if I can write sequels because she wants to know what happens next to those characters.
These two songs are about the afterparty with the Raspberry Beret girl. “She Never Wore Much More” isn’t judgment. It’s memory. The title - speaks for itself. When someone walks into your life wearing nothing but a glance and a reason to stay.
Raspberry Beret on the Floor is the answer to the first one. It’s not on her head anymore. It’s been dropped. Abandoned. Or maybe it’s still warm from the night you almost didn’t survive. That’s what this is —it's about the aftermath. The scent, the silence, the floor where love left its mark.
These songs are for Eve but they are also for everyone who’s ever picked something up from the floor… and couldn’t let it go.
In closing - This is Prince. And this is my new two track sequel to Raspberry Beret: “She Never Wore Much More” and “Raspberry Beret on the Floor.”
When are y'all going to acknowledge that I still exist? How many albums does a man need to drop before you call him still alive?
