about

I love Prince, and since this project followed closely on the heels of his untimely death in 2016, I knew the first song I covered had to be one of his. This might not be my favorite Prince song, but it is unquestionably my favorite of his to sing. It becomes especially poignant and emotional when covered acoustically, unlike so many of his raging dance party bangers. I just hope I did it justice.

This is part of my MayCovers project: in May of 2016, I recorded and shared a cover song every day for a month, resulting in the release of 28 covers and two originals. This album features 12 of the best recordings from that experiment.
