 What exactly did Gwen do on this song? All I hear is Prince.
I'm not sure any other "collaborator" would wipe her out of the mix 100%, but with Prince it doesn't surprise anybody. While resisting the urge to correct your typing (it's hard, like a drug fix), I will respond to those things you posed here. 1) Go listen to "U Make My Sun Shine", so you can hear and be able to speak about it down the line. It's a good song, and a great true duet between Angie and Prince. 2) "U Make My Sun Shine" isn't associated with either Rave albums. You grouped both in the same sentence, so I can only surmise that you might have thought one was associated with the other. "UMMSS" was released 2 years after the albums. 3) Rave Un2 The Joy Fantastic had duets with Sheryl Crow, Gwen Stefani, Chuck D., Maceo Parker, and Ani Defranco. You can hear Gwen sing on "So Far, So Pleased". Sheryl sang background and played harmonica (doing the latter in one take if I'm not mistaken, maybe two tops). Chuck D. rapped. Ani played guitar. 4) It seems that some of the duets were singled down just Prince for Rave In2 The Joy Fantastic. [Edited 2/8/10 16:35pm] | |

 Morris Day has freckles just like Sade. Prince only has a mole. Maybe they could make it a three some with everyone doing sumthing.  Morris on the dance floor,  Sade smooth on mic  and Prince doing all the above and then some      | |

A musical collaboration in which Sade wrote the lyrics to P's music would work just fine. Other than that, they both need to do what they do...separately. | |

But since he actually sucks at it, the song would sadly just be unlistenable garbage.
It would sound like Bria's album, and we all know how great that is.  Bria's album has good music on it. Sade's voice would bring something more to it. | |

If I mess up the Princebonics I couldn't care less. He's a grown man and his special little fairy language died to me like 20 years ago. Oh, and you made a mistake with 'wrapped'. Just sayin  | |

Matthewman and Prince co-producing? bananas... somehow I think it'd end up like No Doubt 'working with' Prince. If it came out kind of like U Make My Sunshine with a smooth Sade vocal, that'd be a smashing success compared to what I actually think it'd sound like, lol. that's a good example of what I'm talking about.

I'm not sure any other "collaborator" would wipe her out of the mix 100%, but with Prince it doesn't surprise anybody. I know, right? But Gwen is a total Prince devotee, so it's not as though she would call him on it and say 'hey, what about my vocals?' Sad too, that's the one that would've clicked, even with her almost drowned out, if they'd done a kick ass video and TRL. Also, check out No Doubt's "Waiting Room" for something that didn't quite work. U Make My Sunshine is the song with Angie Stone, which I still think is a pretty cool song. ********************************************

The "U Make My Sunshine" was my mistake not abigail's btw. Blame it on the riesling. And thanks for the $4.99 tip, I picked up one this evening, LOL. ********************************************

I have to say that Sade's new album incredibly BORING.
There are so many lyrical cliche's that its pathetic. It drones on and on with predictable arrangements on song subjects that are so over-done that its really sad. I hope she can sort something out with Mr Prince. I hope its better than Bria Valente's album - which although "nice" has already disappeared into obscurity. | |

I thought I read something about this (here on the org or somewhere) that in the 80's he approched her and she declined because of the type of image he had at the time.
It would b an interesting duet indeed. | |
