Is Prince Backing Vox on This Track?

I was reading this (http://en.wikipedia.org/w...dnothin%27), which lead me to this http://www.juno.co.uk/pro...417-01.htm, and also (http://prince.org/msg/7/147302), because I was going through a crate of cds I had that were full of label promos. So I came across "I Don't Think We've Met" (http://www.youtube.com/wa...j0gwYRKjd4) and popped it in to see if I could decipher Prince singing vocals in the background. It sounds like he's there on the chorus, but buried really deep in the mix. It sounds like he's singing in the middle of the register. The inflection on the syllables "each-oth-er-ba-bay" kinda have a Princely vocal quirk. Anyone else heard this track? Can anyone confirm? There's no linear notes on my single because it's a label promo, but the back does list ?uestlove on drums, Chance Howard on Moog bass and synth, et al., but no mention of who all is singing background. That's definitely him playing guitar on track five of Cantneverdidnothin, but I can't id this song (which doesn't appear on the album).

When this CD was being promoted they mentioned that Prince was on it. He's nowhere in the credits and it's anybodys guess what he actually contributed to it. I hope he w orks with Nikka Costa again because she's got a great voice and they work well together. Push N' Pull from the Aladdin DVD was amazing!

When eye go 2 a Prince concert or related event it's all heart up in the house but when eye log onto this site and the miasma of bitchiness is completely overwhelming!

it has been rumoured indeed.

The song I Don't Think We'e Met is on the rare promo advance CD, and there is also a promotional 12" with 4 versions (extended mix 6:40 / devin dazzie mix 5:03 / thee rude mix 7:51 / album version 3:42)

I have both CD and promo maxi, but never listended to the mixes

just had a listen to the preview on itunes (UK). there is a longer 3.42 version which has Prince's voice straightaway in the preview - it's obviously him! it's also too funky!

thanks for the tip-off.
