Prince 'Sista She Doll' New? Old?

Hi sorry i'm forever checking out this site but never posting ... i guess i'm a virgin at this...

anyhoo

Is there a Prince song called 'Sista She Doll'? I think it's an instrumental.. unsure if it's new but my friend says he just heard it and since i've had a mild possession with Prince from the age of about 10 (some 25 odd year older now) it really annoys me that i don't know this.... sad i know but true.

Be great if anyone could help me on this.

Thank U x

There's no known track with that title.

There's a track called 'Sister' from Dirty Mind (1980), but it isn't an instrumental.

yeh i've got that ( 1 of my favs ).... got nearly everything released which makes this quite difficult.

My mate is sure he's heard it and he's a bigger Prince freak then i am, plus he's not the sort to try and joke about it.

He says..... it's got Linn Drums, Dx7 sounds very Revolution.

thanks for your help though. x

It could just be one of the many untitled instrumentals that Prince has
recorded over the years (though most of the circulating instrumentals
are very early recordings), or it could be a fake track...

No way of knowing really, as there's not enough info to go on.

Most likely a fake.

Sister is on Dirty Mind

there is an unreleased song called "Latino Barbie Doll" that Sheila E sung (then given to Myte) that is circulating but that's not even the right title.

The snare programming does not sound like Prince.

Yeah the instruments are old too. Prince uses the Protool machine now with sampled Linn Drums. Kinda like the sampled Linn effect that he used from 1987 on up..I think he changed to the Yamaha and the Roland by that time though instead of using the original. That's why they have a more chopped sound, however Black Sweat...I swear he pulled out that machine or used a hot unreleased cut because those are not samples and don't sound so clear like they do now. You can hear the air with the real Linn Machine. But this is not Prince. We on the org have created plenty of songs with the same skills.

Sorry Im going off at the mouth.

that's a pretty good imitation, but there's just something un-P about it. it's got the general mood, but it's missing his musicianship

Prince uses all of the LM-1. I never heard mixed snares, or lighter snares in the background of his songs that I've heard (,but I am far from an expert).

He is more frantic with his beats and keys.

This beat is too stiff, and the keys are too smooth for Mr. Nelson (Prince) unless he is not used to his Pro Tools.

I could be him, but I doubt it. I knew that "C More Funk" wasn't him.


It's a better "Prince Knock-off" than mine ( lol lol lol ):

All anyone would need are Linn samples..

(I can't play keys----they sound robotic and "by the numbers".. It's all in good fun. These are from the past)

I remember the conversations went this way too when the song on mplsound.com was discovered.
So I'll just wait to see if it really is a Prince song or not.

Definitely sounds very similar.

I don't think its Prince at all... The voice at the end sounds like they took Prince's voice and did something with it though!
