vocals on Cosmic Day?

Hey, who is that singing on Cosmic Day? Is it 'Camille' or someone else?

the voice(s) sounds more speeded up than usual

Susannah Melvoin was backing Prince on a lot of stuff during those years too

It's possible the track was sped up by a fan/collector and may not be the way P intended.

I got two sides... and they're both friends.

I think I read here that it's Prince singing in falsetto and then getting the Camille treatment... It sounds really bizarre, but I love it!

it's playful classic Prince. very magical atmosheric feel to it in my opinion. similar to All My Dreams in some respects.

When I first heard it, I thought of Hoffs and the Bangles.

It's higher pitched than any other Camille-style track for sure, but the song was recorded just days after the Camille album was compiled so unlike earlier songs (like Love or $ etc) it's safe to assume it would've been credited to Camille had it been officially released.

It sounds like a song he would have given to another artist to sing -- possibly a female artist. It's so poppy and almost bubble-gummy.

We really need the full version of this to leak.

I wonder how long the full song is.

That sample is a double edge sword, it's great but leaves me desperate to hear the full creation.

I agree that it sounds like a song possibly written for a female group or artist (likely the Bangles, Shelia, etc). Prince liked it enough to place the melody into the "Cross The Line" piece for the Lovesexy Tour.

...are too upfront in the mix.


The final version sound, when we get it, has better be dirty and overcompressed like the leak,
I would not tolerate another "Joy In Repetition" disappointment.

I think it sounds most interesting towards the, the last 5 sec or so. Some spaced out chords as the song fades out.

The wooh is on the one!
