For Butch’s Listening Party on the 28th of May, hosted by Spirited Bristol, we step back into 1984 — the moment Prince traded raw funk for something bigger, bolder, and mythic. Guitars scream like storm sirens, synths shimmer against gospel organs, and his voice moves from whisper to howl like a preacher possessed.

Listening to Purple Rain in Bristol feels especially fitting. This is urban music in the truest sense: tense and cinematic, with a soundscape that sounds like the city after midnight. Expect a nocturnal journey through sweat, salvation, and purple light from an album that consumes the listener like no other.
