i know i'll get shot for this for this, but.... prince couldn't have written "this woman's work". like, he doesn't have it in him. same way kate doesn't have it in her to write a gem like "computer blue"


2 great artists.

2 different "roads"


You're gonna get shot.


lol i dont think prince could've written "kite" either, but thats just me

The thought of Kate singing 'Horny Pony' cracks me up.

I'd be worried for him if he had written it, considering the subject matter and all. lol

Actually the gist of the song is simply about wanting to get away from all things that piss you off.
But the first line is a reference to period pains. Unlikely that Prince would have considered such a lyric. lol

The only song she did that was penned and duetted with Prince was 'Why Should I Love You?', a very Prince sounding track on 1993's The Red Shoes album.


Its hardly A duet. Its a Prince mixed track with Prince and Lenny Henry lending some harmonies.


Lenny Henry the comedian? Say What? eek

Kate sent Prince the mastertapes for Why Should I Love You and he added
various instruments and restructured the song. He also did a lot of backing
vocals for it, but the one verse Kate had wanted Prince to sing (not that she'd
asked him specifically) he didn't do, so she got Lenny Henry to sing it for her.

Ok, so did Maxwell change the opening lyric when he covered it? If not, that an interesting factoid. lol

Oh ok. Thanks. Never listened to "This Woman's Work" past the annoying opening or paid attention to the lyrics bcause I don't like it.
