It still doesn’t feel like Prince Rogers Nelson is gone, but sadly, his physical is no longer with us. As we continue to cope and process this life-altering change, Donnie Trumpet of The Social Experiment pays tribute to the Purple One with a new song titled, “In Your Light.”
The talented horn player hasn’t released any of his own music since 2015’s Surf, but on “In Your Light,” vocals from Sima Cunningham fuel the Prince-inspired music that is helping the musician through what is arguably a hard time. Confessing in his Soundcloud description, Donnie Trumpet said that he was given a mix CD that contained a rare Prince song called “Donna,” which appeared on the unofficial rarities compilation album, The Work — Volume 1.
“One of my best friends and musical mentors, Maceo from the band The Omys gave me a mix cd when i was going through a tough time with a song called Donna by Prince. I listened to the song over and over in the car. I never imported the cd, could only hear it in the car, so when i tried listening to it on tour i couldn’t find it anywhere. As you know Prince’s music is pretty rare on the internet but this song was especially elusive because it was a part of a compilation album of his “unfinished” music. This was a really powerful inspiration for me after having worked so hard on Surf and still having so much material left over that didn’t quite fit but still described my vision and passion of the era of making music when putting Surf together. Songs are like poems, they’re never done.”
In paying tribute to “one of the greatest humans to ever grace [the] land,” Prince must be smiling after seeing how he has inspired so much creativity around the world.
