(1982)"Sexuality" is the second track on Prince's1981 album, "Controversy". The song was also released as a single inGermany ,Japan andAustralia ."Sexuality" is a fast-paced New Wave track, built around a synth bass line and drum machines. Much like "Controversy", a funky rhythm guitar is used throughout the song with brief stabs of rock thrown in. Similar to the song "Uptown", Prince describes a society free from prejudice as a "New Breed". The political number also takes jabs at tourists and the sensationalism of television.
