Just months before releasing his watershed soundtrack and film, Purple Rain, Prince was deep into preparations for his massive Purple Rain Tour while also writing and recording nearly a song a day for artists like @sheilaedrummer, The Time, and The Family. One of those songs, “Manic Monday,” was recorded in February 1984 and was originally intended for the group Apollonia 6, who would be introduced to the world that summer in the film Purple Rain. But before their debut album was complete, he decided to pull "Manic Monday" from the Apollonia 6 album and give it to another up-and-coming band instead. @officialthebangles were part of a new movement of Los Angeles musicians dubbed "The Paisley Underground" who were bridging the synth beats of the '80s with psychedelic '60s influences, and Prince was a fan of their songs. "I knew it was an incredible gift," the Bangles' lead singer @susannahoffsofficial told the @nytimes, remembering back to the day she picked up the cassette of "Manic Monday" from Sunset Sound. "It was like putting on the slipper in a fairy tale." Using Prince's recording as a guide, the Bangles put their own spin on "Manic Monday," rearranging a bridge and adapting it to suit their sound. Their version of "Manic Monday" was included on their album Different Light and became their first breakout hit, skyrocketing to the top of the Billboard Hot 100. It peaked at the number 2 spot, just behind Prince's own hit single "Kiss." All these years later, however, Hoffs and her Bangles band mates remember how entranced they were when they first heard Prince's original rendition of the song. For over 30 years, they were some of the only people in the world to have heard it — until this month. Prince's rendition of "Manic Monday" is one of the 15 tracks on the new album Originals, a collection of Prince's versions of the hit songs he gave to other artists. The album is streaming exclusively on @tidal now, and will be released worldwide by @warnerrecords on June 21.」6月18日 10時23分
