I believe Sheena Easton has lived in the States for a long time. There was a documentary about her years ago, when she recorded a new album and tried to be all glam and capture the gay market - it totally bombed, and she went back to a regular slot singing in a Vegas nightclub, although I heard she actually made lots of money on property deals over the years.

Having said that, I find this information very questionable, I think Prince would have an even harder time trying to get Sheena a hit than he would've Tamar!

ugh! Sheena is one of my least favorite prince associates

Oh no, that is sad news. Who listens to Sheena Easton?? At least who in the US?Maybe that album is for her release, and he's just helping her out. Maybe this is just for UK fans only. Sheena Easton,for goodness sakes.

I dont hope 'this rumour' is true.

Sheena's input on U got the look was bearable because its such a good song. The Arms of orion is kitschy MOR-pap.

Before Princes involvement with her music Sheena was known for her bland MOR-work. She sort of was the english Olivia Newton John. After her collaborations with Prince we havent heard almost nothing from her.

I always think that its a strange contradiction that Prince seems to be able to find good, versatile musicians for his touring bands, but that he seems too lose his sense of musiciality when he chooses female protegees to write and produce music for.

That's just your opinion. I think Sheena Easton is a far better vocalist than Jill Jones and sold as hell of a lot more records in the process. Sheena Easton has an excellent vocal range.
Lets face it, folks, Vanity and Appolonia cant sing, they look good, but thats it, the same goes for Martika, Cat, Carmen Electra and Mayte, those are not singers. I even think Sheila E. is a very mediocre singer, as much as i admire her skills on drums and percussion, she just isnt a singer. I also dont see much in Tamar, she sure is no Candi Staton or Marcy Gray.

The only women he produced, who could really sing was Jill Jones, she had a very expressive voice and 'character', too bad he (?) didnt promote her that well. I am glad she untied herselve from the 'paisley park' movement.

When you look back you will notice the women (but also the men and bands) who were produced and / or promoted by Prince have mostly dissapeared from the map. It tells a lot about their musical capabilicies and Prince tendency when it comes to female protegees, to follow his dick instead of his musical knowledge.
