First and last song recorded in PP

I was wondering if it has ever been revealed what the very first song that Prince worked on at Paisley park was AND which song he was working on when he passed away?

Just because the lyrics were up on the stand doesn't mean the song was recorded, or, even if it was, that it was the last.

The last I heard was that he was working on a song called Pangea, which was part of the new minneapolis sound he associated with Baltimore, where the guitar solo he plays on the song is sent out to be replaced with orchestration.

Doesn't mean it wasn't either.

The last I heard was that he was working on a song called Pandora, which was part of the new minneapolis sound he associated with Baltimore, where the guitar solo he plays on the song is sent out to be replaced with orchestration.

That title "Pandora" sounds like a thing that he had worked on with Eric Leeds at one point in time. I wonder if that same title done with the last NPG Horns took from any of those earlier concepts. I wouldn't have a clue toward what he either first or last recorded at PP.

Here is some context on what I wrote above regarding the new minneapolis sound and the song Pangea.

Pangea was the title, my bad.

That is true, and that is why in regards to Pangea, I did not state it is an absolute fact.

Yeah, but if you actually read the article, it says the last thing they worked on was a Earth, Wind, & Fire type song in January, who knows when they actually even did Pangaea. And regardless, that's just what Prince sent to him, He was obviously still working on things solo and i highly doubt he didn't record anything from that point till April.

So then why wouldn't "Look At Me Look At U" be the last song he worked on since that was on the stand as well?

So what´s cool is that both one of (if not the) first and last song he recorded at Paisley Park has the word "cool" in the title; Melody cool and "Stay Cool".

And thank you for the answers btw.
