Ed. Note: This is just my opinion on the project. Don’t hate me. Peace be with you all. I’ll get this out of the way before we begin. Growing up, when it came to the 1980s Prince albums, Lovesexy always ranked towards the bottom for me. It wasn’t as grandiose as, say, Purple Rain and it wasn’t […]

Everyone remembers their first music purchase. For me, it was a copy of One In A Million. That’s a bit surprising, I know.
