We're going to put the spotlight on the Prince album Sign o' the Times this morning.

It was first released as a double album on March 30, 1987, but on September 25, the Prince estate will release a massive remastered and expanded edition, featuring 63 unreleased tracks and 2+ hours of unreleased concert footage from the vault.

We're excited to hear from Andrea Swensson at around 9:20 to dig more into this album, but we're also taking your requests for which songs to play.

So for today's 9:30 Coffee Break, what songs from Sign o' the Times do you want to hear?
