Here\u2019s the Prince song I had never heard before reading about it over the past week. Originally recorded in 1982, it was taken out of the vault, dusted up, and put into the rotation for potential inclusion in *Purple Rain*. Eventually Prince decided it wasn\u2019t a good fit and shelved it again. It did not reappear until the *4Ever* album that was released after Prince\u2019s death. Not sure why I never listened to it, but I\u2019ve been loving this song since I first listened to it last week. It\u2019s not an all-timer, for sure. But it has a vibe to it that makes it hard to know where it fits into his catalog. It doesn\u2019t really sound like *1999* music. It has some *Purple Rain* vibes. But it also sounds like it could have been one of those early\/mid 1990\u2019s one-off singles.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDancing in the Dark\u201d &#8211;  Lucy Dacus. Speaking of one-off singles, Dacus has been releasing them throughout this year, and they\u2019ve all been really good. This time, in honor of Bruce Springsteen\u2019s 70th birthday this coming Monday, she tackles his biggest pop hit. And does so rather well.<\/p>\n<p><iframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/e-lwb4Pm2M4\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>\u201cPerfect Way\u201d &#8211; Scritti Politti.
