Raspberry Beret / She's Always in My Hair

Marking a distinct pivot from the dense rock and funk of 'Purple Rain', this track leans heavily into heavily orchestrated, 1960s-inspired psychedelic pop. Prince layered intricate finger cymbals, a prominent cello section, and unusual, cough-like sound effects to create a vibrant, joyful narrative about teenage romance. The incredibly revered B-side, 'She's Always in My Hair', serves as a brilliant slice of guitar-driven Minneapolis funk.
