Great stuff. I loved this record when it first came out — although my signature track was “U Got the Look” (and the video cemented my teenage crush on Sheena Easton).

Love this. Prince was the one celebrity death that hit me hard because he figured so heavily into my musical development. Starfish is such a great song and there are layers to it I think. On the surface it's simple, almost like a nursery rhyme that could be nonsense, but the idea that unusual people are going to be the ones that tell us what's on the other side of the coin we don't always see is a really great message. Reading into it (probably too much lol,)I always thought the Cynthia character was a stand in for Prince himself.
