In the song 'If i was your girfliend' is that a woman singing or Prince?

Just listened to this song and it sounds like a woman is singing. If would feel vey uncomfortable if I found out a woman is not singing.

That's one of the reasons for the vocals being that way.

falloff touched

seriously though, i was one of err s that wasn't sure if this was p when i first heard it as well ("newbie" mushy giggle). it is credited to someone named "camille" (who is also thanked in the credits). i understand the confusion wink, but yes, it is prince, with his voice sped-up. same with housequake, strange relationship, etc. camille = prince thumbs up!, one of his many "alter-egos" cool.

Prince does sound like a girl, especially in the opening line. When I first heard this song I was with my brother, we were both Prince fans. After a first few mintues into the song my brother goes "Prince is trying to sound like a girl." lol
Some people think I'm kinda cute
But that don't compute when it comes 2 Y-O-U.

Stupid post but some mildly interesting replies. When I first heard it I thought nothing strange about it whatsoever. It must be a shame hearing Prince's early work for the first time years after its release. The impact that whole album had on me was spellbinding. It was radical and innovative and only Prince was doing it. Nowadays he's extremely competent, back then he was groundbreaking.
