Katie Melua records Prince cover version and meets Prince From Katie Melua's official site, http://www.katiemelua.com...&year=2007:
Recording Update
The recording of Katie’s forthcoming third album continues apace Brass sections have been recorded at Dramatico’s studios and this week saw the recording entourage travel to Dublin where The Irish Film Orchestra (used on both previous albums) added strings to six tracks. The recording has also yielded an as-yet unnamed Prince cover version, which may or may not make it onto the album. The Minneapolis Maestro has performed ‘Nine Million Bicycles’ several times on stage, and is a huge fan. Mike Batt: He invited us to his ‘secret’ London gig last month at Koko in Camden, so we thought we’d return the compliment. We also met him the next day when he invited us to a private charity gig he was doing. He seemed very nice. I’ve had this Prince song kicking about in my head for years; not one of his better known ones." The album is currently still on schedule for a September release. There’s no word on a title or any other song details yet, but a new photo session for the sleeve and press shots has been scheduled, so things are motoring along in the background! Start the speculation  I had suggested on Katie Melua's website earlier this year that she cover Sometimes It Snows In April - it'll be interesting to see if this is the one. | |

I remember some 'zany' t.v. show presented her with a 'most annoying celbrity' award as she walked the red carpet tinto some premiere. When they shouted her over, she came only to be sprung with the award. She was really hurt by the comment and took it to heart, u could see the upset in her face. It was unpleasant viewing. felt really sorry for her. | |

When? That's my question, as well, and if U don't know when, it is likely an error. "He's a musician's musician..." |

^ I heard he performed it a couple of times ('several' is an overstatement) in Vegas 3121 with a few altered lyrics. Reviewers (and possibly Prince) called it I Will Love U Till I Die or something like that. | |

Who? We don’t mourn artists because we knew them. We mourn them because they helped us know ourselves. | |
