I was 4 years old when I heard this song. There was a story about him on the evening news and I told my mom I was gonna marry him. Why not? He looked like me. He had brown skin, black hair, big dark eyes and the longest lashes. Watching Purple Rain as an adult I was floored that I was allowed to watch it at all as a child. I didn’t remember it being so sexual. All my 4 year old self could absorb was that in the TV there was a world where you could get up on stage, wear glamorous clothes, and be surrounded by beautiful babes. I watched the older girls in my parent’s friend circle copping Appolonia’s style—big 80’s hair, purple shadow and bright red lips. She was a whole lot of woman, and Prince was the magic man from outer space. Those were good times.

It’s sublime. A wholesome white couple, seemingly Jesus loving hippies, singing a song about where evil grows. I first heard this track while working the door at Pianos this past winter. My friend, DJ Andy Haynes, a connoisseur of creepy music, was spinning that night and the lyrics to this grabbed me. “Evil grew. It’s part of you and now it seems to be that every time I look at you evil grows in me.” Like I said, really creepy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“When Doves Cry” is a collaboration with soul singer Deva Mahal.\u003cbr\u003e\nJeff Berner of Psychic TV engineered the tracks.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Northern Spy Records","offers":[{"title":"Limited Edition Lathe Cut Single + Digital","offer_id":44667156037855,"sku":null,"price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Cassette + Digital","offer_id":44667155939551,"sku":"CS-NS-084","price":8.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"FLAC Download","offer_id":44667155972319,"sku":"","price":4.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"MP3 Download","offer_id":44667156005087,"sku":null,"price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0677\/9256\/8543\/files\/Screen-Shot-2017-03-06-at-2.21.01-PM.png?v=1703788706","url":"https:\/\/shop.northern-spy.com\/products\/shilpa-ray-paisley","provider":"Northern Spy Label Group","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
