THE STORY
Released across Europe on November 2, 1992, the My Name Is Prince remix maxi-single expanded the second single from the Love Symbol album into a full club package. The remixes by Keith “KC” Cohen, Greg Royal, and others transformed the original into harder, dancefloor-ready versions featuring extended breaks, hip-hop energy, and house influences.
CONTEXT & NOTES
This maxi-single highlighted Prince’s early-’90s fusion of funk, hip-hop, and club culture during the height of the NPG era. The striking artwork and multiple club mixes made it a favourite for DJs and collectors. It reached No. 7 on the UK Singles Chart.
