Today's qx playlist marks exactly a year since Prince passed away at Paisley Park. He was truly fearless at whatever he turned his head to, whether that be his genre-defying music, his gloriously flamboyant stage presence, or his unapologetic approach to masculinity and sexuality. He was incomprehensibly prolific when it came to making music, either for himself or for...
