I think I may have found the article you are inquiring about. I don't think it was said that the song was intended to be a gift but the engineer talked like it was for an unnamed project. He also didn't say who the song was for. It seems it may have been a demo. www.mixonline.com/news/ps...ers-prince

Cool reflection. Prince just seemed to cast a spell on anyone blessed enough to be in his orbit. I wonder what's the song title.

Nice article, thank you. I wonder who the song was for.

2013 I can’t think of what other girl singer really was around at that time but Andy. Unless it’s LeAnn LeHavis, who he also admired a lot for singing. But I think she would’ve said by now if Prince gave her a song. And I think he promoted her a lot later isn’t that right based on the song lists he tweeted? Whoever it was he certainly put a lot of time, effort, money and thought into it. “A couple of acoustic guitars and a ton of vocals.” Could this have been a song for the Oui Can Luv album? Speaking of Andy she has left that teasing facebook post about having a recording of her and Prince working out “The Breakdown” up. She has not said anything else about it or posted anything else for a whole month. She never has gone that long without posting on Facebook. So it seems that’s the top posting she wants people to see when they get onto her page. [Edited 12/3/18 5:48am]

It is a nice article. Thanks for the reminder TheTruth123. I was thinking that it could have been for Lianne as well or possibly Delilah. Rita Ora is listed along with Prince and 3rd Eye Girl as one of Evan Bakke's clients on his site,so it may have been for her. Not sure if she was working with Prince then. He and Andy didn't seem to be on great terms in summer of 2013 so I'm not sure that it would have been for her but the acoustic guitars do bring her to mind. On Tidal's promotional page for Oui Can Luv,it says they recorded it together at Paisley and Andy has said the same. It was probably done around the time when she said that they were writing and recording several songs such as "Time" and "What It Feels Like." Yes, she seems to be ignoring the comments about the "Breakdown" She's been very inactive on all social media lately with the exception of some retweets on Twitter and posting a few stories on her IG. She attended an award show last night from her latest ones.

Yeah, she went to an award show with her beau last night. They both posted to their stories about it. It isn't like Andy to be so inactive and ignoring comments. Especially on posts such as the one she made about the rough recording. I'm still stumped on that.

Ah ok. Thanks for that info. Yeah,that is very unusual for her to be so inactive. I saw that she deleted more old posts from her IG too. Looked like it was mostly clips from MM. It's really not like her to ignore comments like she's doing with the "Breakdown" post and I noticed it's nearing 100 now. She hasn't responded to any of the other posts from her followers either. It appears she has become tired of social media. She said in August that she was trying to find ways to make it less shallow.Maybe she felt that she had been posting too much so she decided to take a break for a while.I have my doubts that she will share the recording any time soon and I think she probably just wanted to let it be known that she has it. I hope she will surprise us though.

It has occurred to me many times that perhaps Andy is miffed at us right now. After all she gave and gave and although she has a lot of very loving and supportive fans, Prince fam are tough. She has also dealt with a lot of jealousy. Maybe she wants a break from it all. Especially if she is into a new relationship. I have wondered if a little bit of frustration at us is why she’s taken down a lot of MMs, or if she’s just trying to move on. [Edited 12/3/18 18:00pm]

Miffed at the org or Prince fans in general? She does seem to want a break from Music Monday and even her Stage It shows since she skipped last month. She also indicated that she was unhappy with her last performance of "We Can Luv" for MM tweeting that it sounded better in her head. It will be interesting to see if she schedules a show for this month. Posting about the "Breakdown" recording was of course going to get attention from the Prince fans so I'm not really sure what her intention was there. I was thinking that the recording the engineer mentioned may have been something for 'Suprconductor Reloaded' since Prince was working on putting it together in summer 2013.

Miffed at maybe a bit of both. I thought that might be the reason for the way she posted about the Breakdown recording. It could be she is just finding her way in her new life. She sure seems to be living a different life now. A whole new scene. LA, acting, I hope she is having fun. She still has not posted anything with her beau. Good thinking on the Superconductor Reloaded possibility as the song mentioned in the article.

Oh ok. You may be right about that with the tongue in cheek nature of her post about "Breakdown" Yeah,she seems to be kind of into the Hollywood scene at the moment and doesn't seem to want to have much association with The Purple Family. I think for the most part she has been treated very well by Prince fans and I have seen only one person post unkind things on her FB.I just saw that she posted a new pic on IG and FB from last night,explaining that she's been taking a break from posting. I recall that the mod for the 3rd Eye TV chat room posted while Prince was in Europe for some shows in July of 2013 that he was excited about starting work on 'SR' when they got back. In early 2013,there were also some possible song titles mentioned by Dr Funk in a poem that Prince had him read during a Spreecast and I wonder what became of them. Here's the thread about it: www.prince.org/msg/7/393243 It had some lyrics from "Screwdriver","U Will B" and possibly some other unreleased songs. DJ Rashida played "Angel Wish" before one of the shows at The Dakota in January 2013. I wondered at the time if that song may have been meant for "SR" since the title seems to have been mentioned in the lyrics of "U Will B." Rashida also played a bit of a remix of "People Pleaser" that was likely intended for the project. I see from Andy's IG story that she is flying somewhere and her time until arrival was over 22 hours. Hmm wonder where she's headed?

I would hope that anyone who actually knew and spent time with Prince, would not Visit a fan site. These would not be places of healthy wellness for them I wouldn’t think. If she did, perhaps she is realizing that.

That's very true. With her explanation that she's been taking a break from posting on her new IG post,it makes me wonder if she has been lurking a bit since we have been discussing her absence on social media. I think she may have visited some when she was touring with P since she tweeted a few reviews from here.

Ahh, I acknowledge the tempatation to lurk, but I question any real benefit. Maybe she is headed home, back to Africa for a visit.

True. I think she may have been interested in what the fans were saying back then about her place in the band and their thoughts about the tour. I thought that she may be heading back home as well. She mentioned last year before her trip to Nigeria that she hadn't been back to Cameroon since she left. She's been posting entertaining stories today about her trouble watching the in flight movies. Lol

Wow then she definitely due for a trip home. Yes I can see wondering about such Details. Let’s us know if she reveals where she is. I do hope she will answer the question about the possible recording she has.

Yep! She just shared on her story a photo of a Cameroonian dish called koki corn that she was eating on the plane so I assume that she is going home for a visit. She tweeted that she has a shoot on Thursday in Seattle so it will be a short trip. Yes,I am hoping that she will reveal more about the recording too.

Gosh I hope she means Thursday next week. That would be crazy quick, Cameroon now And Seattle in two days?? Whoa if so.

I know! I thought she probably meant next week too if she is flying to Africa. She specified Thursday this week though and said she needs a makeup artist and stylist.

Wow!

Yeah I was thinking she may have posted it by mistake on her IG story but she said the same in her tweet and specified "This Thursday" I can't imagine why she would be going for only a day but with her flight duration and posting the pic of the koki corn it appears that she is likely traveling to Cameroon.Unless they had the wrong time on her flight duration and it was supposed to actually read 2 hours. I'm thinking now that she was actually heading to Seattle and her brother cooked the food for her which actually makes more sense. I believe they filmed the pilot for "Upload" there as well.

That would be a more practicle scenario. Africa for a day or two seems hardly worth it. Unless someone was sick.

Yes. I thought of that as well,then I remembered that her bro lives in Seattle and her posts made sense. She posted a photo of herself getting her haircut for what I assume was her shoot last night but she hasn't yet said what the trip was for. I remember that she posted that "Upload" was filmed there so it could be for that, though she hasn't mentioned anything about it since July when it was announced that it would go to series. I noticed that she has also deleted over 200 more posts from her IG including a few with P she posted after he passed,along with the ones that he had taken of her, though she still has them on her FB. She's really been cleaning up her IG. I guess she felt it was time to remove some of the posts about Prince. She shared some video on her IG story from inside the airport and on the plane so it looks like it was a short trip to spend a few days with her brother and his family.

Her removing the pics that are Prince related is weird. I understand she's moving in a new direction but it wouldn't hurt to keep up the photos of her mentor? It's her profile, I guess. She can do whatever she wants with it technically.

Yeah I don't understand why she did that to be honest. Unless the ones that she posted after he passed reminded her of her grief. They were all still up on her FB when I looked the other day along with all of the episodes of MM. I saw that after she retweeted the clip of her doing 'The Cameroon' that one of her followers said that they loved to visit her IG and that it was nice to see special moments like that. When I looked at her IG earlier,I saw that the only pics left from her time with Prince is the one taken by Justine Walpole,her post following that one about her show at The Mint and one at Hop Farm. Also the pic she posted in January of them onstage in Budapest but I expect her to remove it too. I think it would have been nice if she had left the photos that he had taken of her. Oh well. They are still on her FB for now. It looks like she wants to display just the important moments and highlights of her life and career from the last year on her IG so she trimmed it down to those photos and it appears that she wants to move past 2013-2017 for some reason. She removed so many nice photos from those years.
