‘I Love U in Me’ released 2day 1989, B-side of ‘The Arms of Orion’ from #Batman There’s a simplicity to this beautiful song, one that showcases Prince’s baritone, multilayered to harmonise with himself & the versatility of his songwriting. #Prince #Bsides #80s #PrinceBooks

45 years of Controversy & Prince’s celebration of sexuality (“… is all you'll ever need.”) through which he promoted a message of acceptance & self-expression. His songs a form of empowerment, therapy for many, as he encouraged listeners to explore & accept themselves. #Prince #80smusic #sexuality
