Camille I've heard a few orgers make reference to prince's alter ego 'camille' and that it features on the new album. Im a bit confused as to what this is and where and how lol. Anyone care to enlighten me?

![]() it's an alter ego Prince created in the mid-80s.Camille uses a sped-up voice (listen to "If I Was Your Girlfriend","Housequake","Good Love",etc).That's Camille! | |

Camille is a reference to Herculine Barbin, a french hemaphrodite.
Doesn't say it there, but one of his nicknames was Camille. And you can understand why...HERCULINE?! Ew. ![]() | |

i dont hear camille on 3121..for me camille was always the dirty inner sexual side of prince let out...
3121 is a party song that doesnt fit the mold..i consider 3121 simply prince messing with his vocals (ala Rainbow Child)... thoughts? Space for sale... | |

Yeah thats more legit, becuase he has the high voice and the mid voice and a low voice on that track, if you compare it to if i was your girlfriend like davideye said theres definately a difference. | |

Camille isn't just a sound, it's an personality..it's a attitude.. 3121 is one of my favorite tracks on "3121" but it's not Camille..not that Prince didn't notice the Camille sound of the track, but it's more Camille flava than Camille | |

I think I may hear a little of the Spooky Electric voice in the song also. | |

Exactly! Too many peeps just hear a high voice and say "Camille!" but there's really no true connection. Prince has gone out of his way to officially attribute songs to Camille when and where they should be... | |

I always figured Appolonia was named after Michael's Italian wife in The Godfather. With Prince's love of film and all the Italian influences(managers, film producers) in his life, it just made sense to me. | |
