Lois Lane was a band lead by twins.

haha newbies indeed lol

Lois Lane is a Dutch band, with two sisters on lead vocals (they're not twins). Their 1992 album includes four songs with Prince input:

Qualified
Sex
I Oh I
Crying

single releases include various mixes of Qualified and Sex. That's all folks.

The 1992 album ("Precious") is OK & their 1995 album, "Firefly" is very different & actually GREAT. Once i made a Google search & found out that they still exist, have a website & have released many other CD's.

Hi,

There's one more LL song with Prince's input: he did a remix for their song 'I wanna Be'. It appeared only on a Dutch promotional CD.

Some more facts:

Lois Lane were called Lois L. in the States to avoid confusion with the Superman character. They had heavy MTV Europe rotation in the beginning of the 90ies.
The story goes like this: Prince watched tv during the 1990 Nude tour and saw the video clip for "It's The First Time" which got him interested. I have always found that funny from a personal view because with the same clip I also became "a fan" and bought their fantastic first album.

Anyway, from this interest a connection evolved and led to the 1992 collaboration. So 1992 was another big year for them but then they experienced the same fate that many Prince connections suffered from: to fall into oblivion.

Nowadays, Lois Lane remain more or less only popular in the Netherlands with Monique Klemann, pursueing a solo career.
And yes, the sisters had some Playboy photos a few years ago ...

Well, that's not much of an artistic involvment but i guess it counts in a Prince discography, doesn't it?

Yes it does. He hasn't mixed that many songs though. The Aretha Franklin / James Brown collaboration 'Gimme Your Love' being the only one that comes to mind.

This one was a REmix, which means more creative input. Mixing a song just means 2 decide the sound level of each instrument & voice without adding any musical element.
