Prince Forever: Chaka Khan and FKA Twigs

Nick celebrates the musical evolution and lasting legacy of Prince, on the tenth anniversary of his passing.

Nick celebrates the musical evolution and lasting legacy of Prince, on the tenth anniversary of his passing. Nick hears from Chaka Khan, a close friend and creative partner of Prince's, plus he revisits his interview with FKA Twigs, where she reflects on how Prince lived in a "timeless, conceptual world", where clocks do not exist.

Nick has plenty of fantastic music, sharing some of his favourite cuts from Prince's discography alongside songs by artists who were inspired by him. And as always, Nick has the Cloudbusting mix - an hour of uplifting tunes to banish the grey skies.
