“My Name Is Prince” by Prince

"My Name Is Prince" was the second single from Prince's 1992 Love Symbol album, and it does exactly what the title promises. Credited to Prince and the New Power Generation, it's a swaggering new jack swing calling card about the man himself and his musical muscle, opening on vocal snippets of his own "I Wanna Be Your Lover", "Partyup" and "Controversy" before NPG member Tony M., who co-wrote the words, takes the rap.

Prince plays bass, guitar and synthesizer, sings lead and backing vocals, and produced it with the band, with Keith Cohen adding production and a hand in the mix. Parris Patton directed the video, featuring Kirstie Alley and Lauren Green, and the single carried "Sexy Mutha", a clean remix of "Sexy MF", plus "2 Whom It May Concern", a sneak preview of the album still to come.
