Confusion, brilliance, lights, camera, action—enter music’s most ethereal superstar to make sense of it all. To the world he is, was, will always be Prince. To Monáe, he was the king. The voice in her head, the inspiration in her heart, her pen, her internal computers, whatever her instruments of the moment. His trust was not to be wasted. The phone calls at all hours have stopped, but the love between them lives on and the journey continues.
