Purple Rain
Colorful atmospheric phenomenon
Purple Rain is the title of Prince's landmark 1984 album and its accompanying film, both of which established him as a major cultural figure.
The phrase evokes something mystical and transformative—rain that cleanses or renews, tinged with the color associated with royalty and spirituality.
When used outside direct reference to Prince's work, purple rain suggests a transcendent or emotionally overwhelming experience.
The concert was pure purple rain from start to finish.
