about
Originally composed to give a sound to the fictional prince-loving band from Michael's novel "The most beautiful girl in the world".
Parts of a bass and guitar session provided the humus for a text that pays homage to our great idol. Already during the first recordings it was foreseeable that this song could do more - it brings fans and musicians together on a new level. It will be the starting shot for a worldwide Prince Homage project that reflects Prince's great influence on generations of musicians and carries his spirit further into the world. And here we are, awaiting your Purple sound homage.

4 ever in my life

4 ever in my life
4 ever in my life
4 ever in my life
