I didn´t know that they had met.

It´s interesting that she first got into Prince because of Musicology and 3121, and that she liked his more recent work.

This part right here:

"But actually, we’ve now lost Prince. He’s no longer with us in the body anymore. So saying, “Send me up with the diamonds and pearls,” it was more of a warning or cautionary tale, because the ambition that comes from striving and striving and striving can have a dark outcome. It can cause people to be removed from us before their time.

To me, “diamonds and pearls” refers to the grandiose and the heights that someone like Prince came to, but also, it’s got a darker undertone. We lose so many great people too soon. You can’t help but ask, is it [due to] that disconnect or isolation that causes one to become removed from their beginnings or the people that loved them? We don’t know exactly how Prince or so many different artists passed, but we do know there’s a really hard side to that story."

Good article. Thanks Latin!

I (now) understand why Prince loved that Kimbra song 'CAROLINA' so much.

It is in many ways 'him'.

The sound, the colorful vocals, the pace, the whirling sound, danceable.

It's just a great and unexpectd strange and happy layered song.

I wish he would've played it live. But it seems a very complex song to perform live.

Great song and performance indeed.

Kimbra is very interesting.
