Artists discuss the 13 records that shaped their lives

5. PrincePurple Rain

I probably know the lyrics to every single song, and it’s an album I can’t help but sing along to – there’s very few albums that do that to me. I just think he was a genius – he created at least 10 classic albums. I love his guitar playing, his composing, and his drumming’s some of my favourite drumming ever. Quite a lot of it’s about love, and I’m quite into romance, longing, heartbreak – it’s a very human album in that way.
