Tonight on UKNY, a show entirely inspired by and dedicated to Prince and the bridge between Paisley Park and Britain. Not only will we hear from those he collaborated with, like Kate Bush and Lianne La Havas, but some unlikely connections too, such as Cocteau Twins.

And of course, songs from the man himself ... including what might be one of his most astonishing singles, sensually exploring the desire and fear of a new relationship.

His death still feels unfathomable.

You can catch up to UKNY on demand as of Monday in the FUV weekend archives up to two weeks after broadcast.
