So far you have the primary source (Why Should I Love You) and now you need to analyze it in terms of mixed genres. So what you need to do is: 1) determine what genres are being mixed in that song. Prince's synth pop is obvious but don't ignore the American Gospel/Spiritual undercurrent. 2) research what traits exactly are recognized as hallmarks for each of those genres by scholars, known as secondary sources. 3) explain how those hallmarks appear in the song Why should I love You. And possibly 4) Explain how the mixing of those hallmarks created something new that goes beyond the previously recognized genres.

In order to do this you would need to do research in specific music journals about those genres. I would avoid popular press magazines and books which is where most of the bio stuff on Kate and Prince tends to be published. Speak to your music Prof about the types and availability of scholarly music journals. Heck, show him the mini outline above and see if that's what he wants. You might also want to ask him if lyrics can be analyzed for a specific style (Kate's lyrics somewhat use the alphabetic acrostic popular in the Psalms and might also be a link to American Gospel music). But the research only takes care of step #2; all the other steps really require your insight and analysis of the song and research materials.

Once you've spoken with your Prof you can then see the research librarian at your Uni to further help you track down appropriate sources and refine search terms.
