Riot In English is the first solo studio album (and only Paisley Park Records album) by Dale (full name Dale Bozzio, formerly a member of Los Angeles group Missing Persons), and was released in March, 1988. One of the tracks, So Strong was written and recorded by Prince.

The album produced three singles, Simon Simon and Riot In English, but failed to chart.

Prince also contributed the song The Latest Fashion (recorded during the same sessions as So Strong), but the song was rejected by Dale.

22 years later, a second track by Dale with input by Prince, Take Me To Your Leader, was released on her 2010 digital album Make Love Not War (this time using her full name for the artist credit).
