With her debut EP, Into the Wild: Live At EastWest Studios, L.A. singer-songwriter LP gives a live look into her powerful, commanding sound. LP and her ukulele are seldom apart, and on Wild, the rising star keeps her emotions raw with her booming voice and big-time choruses. Like the title track, Into the Wild sounds triumphant and life-affirming with carefully layered and uplifting arrangements. The ukulele may seem quaint and quiet, but LP's sound is far from timid. LP is already working on her full-length due later this year and is set for an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live on April 25th. Into the Wild is out April 24th on Warner Bros.

“1999”

Prince | 1982

“I don’t consider myself a great poet,” Prince told Rolling Stone. “I just know I’m here to say what’s on my mind.” In the case of the apocalyptic party anthem “1999,” he was worried about then-president Ronald Reagan’s foreign policies. The song’s melody is based on a riff borrowed from the Mamas and Papas’ “Monday, Monday,” and Prince originally envisioned the first verse with three-part harmony but later split the vocals between himself and members of the Revolution. Because Warner Bros., with whom Prince was locked in a contractual battle, owned the original’s masters, Prince rerecorded the song and appropriately released that version in 1999.
