Does anyone know how they first met, and did they stay in touch, and/or how did they re-connect?

I know she played Liza Hernandez' character Coco as a little girl in the 3121 movie and Million Days video.I don't know if that was where they first met nor do I know if they stayed in touch over the years. Perhaps he was friends with her family.I would be interested in knowing that as well.

Not sure if they stayed in touch that whole period in between Million Days and singing backing vox on FreeUrself, but I get the impression that they must had reconnected at some point in the years prior when she decided to get into music. I mean the fact that she plays so many instruments (guitar, bass, piano), the fact that she's starting her career on her own terms instead of signing with a label all points to things one would expect Prince to have encouraged in her. The quality of the Grenadine video is top notch quality too, so I always assumed he may have helped her finance that (but I could be wrong).

Yes I got the impression that they had been friends for a while ,though I don't remember any mention of her before 2015. I wonder if she sang background on any other songs besides Free Urself?

They very much stayed in touch. Lot's of emails and phone calls between them, several times almost on a daily basis.

Prince was very close with his last protege.

That's nice to know. Sounds like they may have kept in touch over the years.I'm looking forward to hearing the music that she and Prince created together. Thanks!

Gorgeous photo. Do you know when Prince first began working with Natalya? Thanks Latin!

PennyPurple did you learn this from the investigation report? Natalya seems to be very tight-lipped, can find almost nothing about her online, no interviews etc. ?

I guess she is saying that they were talking often by phone.I read that 70% of the phone calls were with Natalya though I'm unsure if there were a high volume of calls.I couldn't get the phone records to open.

Why do you think, you know what I'm saying? You don't have to answer for me. I answered the question myself. I didn't say 70% of the phone calls were from or to Natalya. YOU said that. And really how would you know, if you couldn't get the phone record to open?

No one was trying to answer for you. I didn't imply that you said that 70% of phone calls were with Natalya.I said that I read that. I also said that I was unsure about the volume of calls meaning that 70% could be a low number or high depending on the number of calls that came in. You said that they were emailing and phoning several times daily.I'm unsure about the percentage of emails vs calls.I saw some of the emails.

No, you said, "I guess she is saying". Don't speak for me, and don't answer questions for me.

See nobody can have a convo, without you or fly flooding threads with your posts.

Nobody asked you a question. So just STOP.

Bodyguard seemed unsure of what exactly you were implying as well.Oh yes I have clearly flooded with my few replies per thread.

I replied to Bodyguard because I was trying to avoid responding directly to your quote since you seemed to have such a problem with that the other day. I was also curious about the phone calls between them since I could not see the records myself and you implied that you had.

I have seen the records. I have them downloaded. BG asked me a question not you. Stop interjecting yourself where you are not wanted. Don't answer for me. Got it?

The point is,I was curious about the records as well and did not want to ask you about them directly and I was responding to his post also by saying that I had heard the same thing that you were implying. And I don't know what your problem is with me Penny because I have never said a derogatory thing to you.I don't want to ruin this nice thread so I'm done with this topic.

Either way, 70% of Prince’s time on the phone during those last months is an extremely high volume of his time.
It couldn’t have been all about music.
It couldn’t have been his initial “vetting” period...that only lasted hours.
There must’ve been some reason he was spending SO much time speaking with this young woman.
It is obvious that based on this hard evidence, most of Prince’s phone time was spent with Natalya.
I am still wondering what someone close to the camp meant when they said that Natalya was being prepped to become the next Mayte.
Mayte was his wife.
Yes, Prince had moved on in that last phase of life...to the next.

From what Latin has said,Prince and Natalya were recording at PP through April.The calls may have been work related,since we don't have recordings of the calls,we don't know. With what Prince was going through with the addiction,pain and depression,I don't know that he was even thinking about relationships of that nature. From what Judith said,he was not in a good place. I remember in his interview with Ebony in 2010 the interviewer asked him about introducing Bria to her as his girlfriend and the question turned to his personal life and the possibility of marriage iirc.Prince replied that personal relationships were on the back burner for now. I understand now what he may have meant by that since he was more than likely going through the same thing then.I saw in the documents that there was a message from someone, or he may have sent it himself,about getting their schedule straightened out so they could work together. I wondered who that may have been from since the name was blacked out.Hopefully Natalya will reveal more about the music that she and Prince were working on,along with sharing more live performances of the songs if she is unable to give them an official release at this time.
