Anil Dash on Nostr: But Prince took that energy and channeled into something that had never been heard ...
But Prince took that energy and channeled into something that had never been heard before on the radio. Its nearly skeletal structure was due to a now-legendary choice to _remove_ the bass from the final mix. In Prince's own words, as I found in the lost liner notes he penned for his Greatest Hits collection, he credits jilljonesofficial with inspiring him to turn the song into something "bassless and stark".
