EP120: Wendy & Lisa on Prince’s “Around the World in a Day” (1985)

Episode notes

We here at Heat Rocks talk a lot about Prince, and this marks the FIFTH episode where we’re discussing an album of his. Around in the World in a Day incorporated more psychedelia and a wider variety of instruments, which made for a much more eclectic and unconventional album. This is also Morgan’s favorite episode, so we couldn’t be more excited to talk about this magnificent album.

Wendy & Lisa of the Revolution come down to the studio to talk about creating this record with Prince, the funkiness of the record, and what life was like working alongside his purpleness for all those years.

This is a very special episode you definitely do not want to miss.
