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.


Sessions and compiling

Prince also contributed the song The Latest Fashion (recorded during the same sessions as So Strong) and 2nd Thoughts but the songs were 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). Her versions of The Latest Fashion and 2nd Thoughts remain unreleased.


Promotion

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