‘I Wish U Heaven’: New Prince Tribute Compilation is the Perfect Stocking Stuffer
Just in time for #Christmas (or, #Princemas, if you are so inclined, as I am sometimes), comes a new compilation paying tribute to the Purple One. I Wish U Heaven, inspired by the song from 1988′s Lovesexy, features an eclectic mix of covers of some of Prince’s best-known songs, as well as a few deep fan faves, by the likes of former collaborators such as vocalist Elisa Fiorillo (”Sometimes It Snows in April”) and singer/keyboardist Cassandra O’Neal, who delivers a lesson in soul with 1999′s “Something in the Water (Does Not Compute;” a fun take on “Starfish & Coffee” by Nyle Quit the Band, and a lovely re-imagining of the title track courtesy of Savage Garden alum Darren Hayes.
The collection, which is available for streaming-only on YouTube and SoundClound, is said to be a “labor of love” and not currently intended for sale. Several of the musicians who’ve contributed to the project were featured recently on Dr. Funkenberry’s podcast and The Prince Podcast.
Learn more about the project on Facebook, and spend #AnotherLonelyChristmas day immersed in something in the water that most definitely computes.

On this day in music history: September 2, 1981 - “Controversy” by Prince is released. Written and produced by Prince, it is the eighth single release for the Minneapolis, MN born musician. Issued as the first single and title track to his fourth album, the song is a bold statement from the normally reclusive and media shy artist. Normally very private about his personal life, the songs lyrics address the media and fans obsession with his sexuality, religious and political beliefs. Prince begins recording “Controversy” in the Summer of 1981 at his home studio (aka “The Purple House”) on Kiowa Trail in Chanhassen, MN, playing all of the instruments, with keyboardist Lisa Coleman also on background vocals. The song is completed with additional overdubs and is mixed at Sunset Sound Recorders in Hollywood, CA between August 14 and 23, 1981. The long album version of the track features Prince quoting “The Lord’s Prayer”, but instead of ending the scripture with “amen”, he completes his recitation with the songs title. That it in itself leads some to label the song blasphemous. “Controversy” peaks at number three on the Billboard R&B singles chart, topping the Club Play chart for 6 weeks (from November 14-December 19, 1981 c/w “Let’s Work”), and peaking at number seventy on the Hot 100 (on November 21, 1981). “Controversy” is re-released in the UK (as a 2 CD EP set and 7" picture disc) in 1993 to promote the compilation album “The Hits/The B-Sides”.
