- Glam Slam Ulysses – Premiere (August 21, 1993) – Glam Slam, Los Angeles, CA
Event: Glam Slam Ulysses was a 1993 stage production loosely inspired by Homer’s Odyssey. Combining live performance and video, it was advertised as “The Homer‑Erotic Odyssey of Ulysses and His Gang, ‘Strays of the World’, Through the Universe of Glam Slam,” presented in “Glam‑o‑Rama” and featuring “13 new songs.” Each song represented an episode or theme from Homer’s epic. The production premiered on 21 August 1993 at Glam Slam, Los Angeles, California, with a capacity of 400 people per performance. Tickets cost $19.99 for evening shows and $15.00 for Sunday matinees. Starring Carmen Electra as both Penelope and Calypso, the show ran until 4 September 1993. Frank Williams performed the male lead, with Jamie King providing choreography. Although Prince did not appear, all music was composed and performed by him. The production was expected to tour the United States but was discontinued after unfavourable reviews.

- Martika (August 27, 1991) – Martika’s Kitchen Album
LP - Holland - COL 467189 1 Martika’s Kitchen is the second album by California pop singer Martika, released in August 1991. Four tracks were written and produced with input from Prince: Martika’s Kitchen, Spirit, Love... Thy Will Be Done, and Don’t Say U Love Me. Prince became involved after most of the album had already been recorded. Martika contacted him after repeatedly watching Graffiti Bridge, explaining that the film reflected themes she had written in her notebook. LP - Holland - COL 467189 1 Their collaboration began with Martika’s Kitchen in late 1990 or early 1991. Martika brought a notebook of lyrics to their first meeting, which Prince used as the basis for several songs. Love... Thy Will Be Done was recorded in January 1991 from Martika’s lyrics. Her label encouraged further collaboration, leading Prince to record Spirit and Don’t Say U Love Me in early 1991. Martika later replaced Prince’s guide vocals with her own in Spring 1991, adding further instrumentation and background vocals in New York. A fifth Prince‑related track, Open Book, was not included on the album but was later released by Jevetta Steele in 1993. Five singles were released: Love... Thy Will Be Done, Martika’s Kitchen, Colored Kisses, Safe In The Arms Of Love, and Spirit (promo only). The album was a worldwide success but underperformed in the USA, peaking at number 111 on the Billboard Pop Chart. It reached number 15 in the UK. In 2017, the album was remastered and reissued in 2018 as Martika’s Kitchen: Reheated Edition, expanding the album with remixes and edits.

- Tevin Campbell (September 25, 1990) – "Round And Round" b/w "Round And Round (Soul Dub)" Single: USA / UK / Europe
"Round And Round" was issued as the second single taken from Prince’s twelfth album, Graffiti Bridge, although in several European territories it became the third single released from the project. As with the album track itself, the single was credited solely to Tevin Campbell rather than Prince. 7" - UK - W0023 The release arrived five weeks after the parent album and was made available in the United States and the United Kingdom. Rather than featuring a completely separate song on the reverse side, the single incorporated a remix of "Round And Round", allowing the song's different interpretations to form the basis of the release campaign. The single proved commercially successful, reaching the upper levels of both the American pop and R&B charts. Its performance helped establish Campbell as a major new recording artist and resulted in a Gold certification from the RIAA in May 1991. TRACK‑BY‑TRACK NOTES 7" - UK - W0023 • Round And Round — Released as the featured track from Graffiti Bridge and credited exclusively to Tevin Campbell. The song appeared across numerous single formats and remix configurations. • Round And Round (Soul Dub) — A remix version selected as the principal B-side and later included on multiple formats issued in support of the single. RELEASE HISTORY The single was released on September 25, 1990, approximately five weeks after the release of Graffiti Bridge. Distribution was limited to the United States and the United Kingdom, although additional European configurations were also issued. 7" - UK - W0115 A wide variety of commercial and promotional formats accompanied the release, including 7", 12", cassette, CD, 12" promotional vinyl and promotional CD editions. Several exclusive remixes were made available through these formats, including "Soul Mix Edit", "Soul Mix Extended", "Soul Dub" and "The House". The release remained connected to Graffiti Bridge, although several remix versions later became notable non-album tracks. The song was subsequently associated with Tevin Campbell's later album T.E.V.I.N.

- Larry Graham & Graham Central Station (September 25, 2012)– Raise Up Released(US) : September 20, 2012 (France)
Raise Up is the ninth studio album by Larry Graham & Graham Central Station and was released in September 2012. The album marked the group's return after more than thirteen years since their previous studio release, GCS 2000. It was also the second Larry Graham and Graham Central Station project to feature contributions from Prince, although the earlier collaboration had been issued solely under the Graham Central Station name. Prince contributed to three tracks on the album: "Raise Up", "Shoulda Coulda Woulda" and "Movin'". These appearances connected the project to the long-standing musical relationship between Larry Graham and Prince. Released through Moosicus Records, the album combined new material with updated versions of songs that had originally appeared in the Graham Central Station catalogue. RECORDING The exact recording dates for "Raise Up", "Shoulda Coulda Woulda" and "Movin'" have not been confirmed. It remains unclear whether any elements originated during the 1997-98 recording period that produced GCS 2000. The three Prince-associated tracks were at least partially recorded at Paisley Park Studios in Chanhassen, Minnesota.

- Chaka Khan (September 29, 1998) – Come 2 My House CD / Cassette
Come 2 My House is the tenth solo studio album by Chaka Khan and her first release for NPG Records. The project was largely co-written and co-produced by Prince and represented one of the most substantial collaborations between the two artists. CD album - USA - 785337982129 Released in the United States on September 29, 1998, the album combined Chaka Khan's powerful vocal style with Prince's contemporary late-1990s production approach. The release formed part of a wider NPG Records campaign that also included Newpower Soul by The New Power Generation and GCS 2000 by Graham Central Station. The album reached number 49 on the Billboard R&B Albums Chart. CD album - USA - 785337982129 SESSIONS AND COMPILING The album was recorded between November 1997 and June 1998 at Paisley Park Studios in Chanhassen, Minnesota. Several tracks originated from earlier Prince-related recording projects. Don't Talk 2 Strangers was originally recorded in 1992, while Journey 2 The Center Of Your Heart and I'll Never B Another Fool originated from sessions recorded in 1995. An early configuration of the album was assembled in February 1998 without Democrazy, which had not yet been recorded. The album was initially planned for release on July 21, 1998 before being delayed. CD album - USA - 785337982129 Hair was recorded as a cover version of the Graham Central Station classic originally released in 1973. For the newly-recorded material, Chaka Khan wrote lyrics while Prince supplied much of the music and instrumentation. Although Prince's individual performances were not formally credited on the released album, he contributed extensively throughout the project. STYLE & THEMES The album blends contemporary R&B, funk, soul and pop. 3 x CD album - USA - 7-85337-99012 Prince's production combines live instrumentation, programmed elements, horn arrangements and orchestral textures while allowing Chaka Khan's vocals to remain the primary focus. Songs such as Come 2 My House, Journey 2 The Center Of Your Heart and Don't Talk 2 Strangers highlight the musical chemistry between the two artists, while tracks including Democrazy and The Drama expand into broader social and thematic territory. 3 x CD album - USA - 7-85337-99012 TRACK-BY-TRACK NOTES • Come 2 My House — Opening title track and one of the album's signature recordings. • Intro / This Crazy Life Of Mine — Features orchestration by Clare Fischer. • Betcha — Funk-oriented collaboration featuring Larry Graham. • Spoon — Promotional single release. • Pop My Clutch — Features guest vocals by Queen Latifah. • Journey 2 The Center Of Your Heart — Originated from earlier Prince sessions.

- Prince (September 29, 2009) – "Dance 4 Me (Icon Remix)" Digital Single: USA
"Dance 4 Me" was the first and only single released from Prince's thirty-fourth studio album, MPLSound. The song initially appeared as a digital release in France on August 31, 2009, one week before the album's French release, and was made available exclusively as the album version of the track. On September 29, 2009, a new digital release was issued in the United States featuring David Alexander's "Icon Remix". This remix became the primary focus of the single campaign in North America. Although additional remixes and an edited version of the song were prepared for a proposed maxi-single, those releases did not materialise at the time and remained unavailable. The project was revisited in December 2011 when Swiss label Purple Music issued an expanded remix package. This later release incorporated the previously released Icon Remix alongside newly commissioned remixes and several mixes created in 2009 that had remained unreleased. RECORDING Written and produced by Prince. Additional remix work for later releases was completed by Jamie Lewis, David Alexander, Brian Matrix and Dominatrix. STYLE & THEMES "Dance 4 Me" was presented as a dance-oriented track from MPLSound and later became the basis for an extensive remix programme. The various remixes expanded the song into club-oriented, house and electronic dance styles while maintaining the original composition. TRACK‑BY‑TRACK NOTES • Dance 4 Me — The original album version released digitally in France ahead of the release of MPLSound. • Dance 4 Me (Icon Remix) — David Alexander's remix issued digitally in North America on September 29, 2009 and later included on the 2011 Purple Music release. • Dance 4 Me (Jamie Lewis Revamped Purple Mix) — A newly created remix for the Purple Music project, featuring additional keyboards by Grooveprofessor and guitar by Roger Massimo. • Dance 4 Me (Brian Matrix Da Big Room Mix) — A club-oriented remix created for the 2011 remix package. • Dance 4 Me (Dominatrix Mix) — One of two Dominatrix-produced remixes included as part of the Purple Music campaign. • Dance 4 Me (Tribal Drum Mix) — A rhythm-focused remix included on the expanded release. RELEASE HISTORY The original digital single was released in France on August 31, 2009 through NPG Records and Because Music. This initial edition contained only the album version of the song. A separate digital release followed in the United States on September 29, 2009 featuring the David Alexander Icon Remix. The remix was distributed through iTunes and became the only officially released remix from the originally planned remix campaign. On December 9, 2011, Purple Music issued a significantly expanded Swiss re-release featuring multiple new remixes together with previously unavailable 2009 mixes. Digital editions of the expanded package followed on December 12, 2011.

- Prince And The New Power Generation (September 29, 1992) – "My Name Is Prince" b/w "Sexy Mutha" Single: US
"My Name Is Prince" was released in the United States on September 29, 1992 as the second single from Love Symbol Album, Prince's fourteenth studio album and the second credited to Prince And The New Power Generation. 7" - USA - 7-18707 Issued two weeks ahead of the album, the single served as a major introduction to the new project and reinforced Prince's reaffirmation of identity during a period of significant artistic and commercial visibility. Unlike releases issued in many international territories, the American commercial single featured "Sexy Mutha" as its B-side. Outside the United States, "2 Whom It May Concern" was generally used instead. That track functioned as a promotional preview of Love Symbol Album, incorporating excerpts and references to many of the album's songs. 7" - USA - 7-18707 A month after the commercial 7-inch release, an expanded remix campaign followed with the release of a US maxi-single on October 22, 1992 featuring club-oriented remixes of both "My Name Is Prince" and "Sexy M.F." STYLE & THEMES "My Name Is Prince" combined funk, rap, dance and rock influences into a bold declaration of self-identity. The recording placed Prince's name and persona at the centre of the song while reflecting the aggressive, contemporary sound that characterised much of Love Symbol Album. The associated remix campaign further emphasized the dance-floor appeal of the track through extended club-oriented reinterpretations. CD single (Cardboard) - USA - 2-18707 TRACK-BY-TRACK NOTES • My Name Is Prince — Released as the lead US single from Love Symbol Album and became one of the project's signature recordings. • Sexy Mutha — Exclusive US single B-side version derived from "Sexy M.F.". • 2 Whom It May Concern — Included on selected extended formats. The track served as a musical preview of the forthcoming album. • My Name Is Prince (12" Club Mix) — Club-oriented remix released on the maxi-single. CD single (Cardboard) - USA - 2-18707 • My Name Is Prince (House Mix) — Dance remix prepared for club and promotional release. • My Name Is Prince (Original Mix Edit) — Extended remix variation included on remix formats. • My Name Is Prince (Hard Core 12" Mix) — Harder-edged remix version. • Sexy M.F. (12" Remix) — Extended remix prepared for dance and maxi-single release. RELEASE HISTORY The commercial US 7-inch single was released on September 29, 1992. An expanded US maxi-single campaign followed on October 22, 1992 with 12-inch and CD configurations featuring multiple exclusive remixes. "My Name Is Prince" became a substantial US chart success across several Billboard categories, reaching the Top 40 of the Billboard Hot 100 and the Top 25 of the Billboard Hot R&B Singles chart. The remix packages also charted on Billboard's dance listings.

- Prince (September 29, 2014) “Clouds” – Promo CD Single UK
A dreamy, atmospheric track featuring Lianne La Havas that served as the first promotional single from Prince’s 2014 album Art Official Age, released in Europe just weeks before the album’s official launch. RELEASE DETAILS Artist: Prince Label: NPG Records (under exclusive license to Warner Bros. Records) Date: Mid September 2014 Catalogue: None (promo only) Format: Promo CD Single Country: United Kingdom / Europe Genre: Pop / Soul Style: Atmospheric ballad A-Side: “Clouds” (featuring Lianne La Havas) Written by: Prince Produced by: Prince B-Side: — (Single-track promo) TRACK LIST UK / Europe Promo CD Single (no catalogue number) Clouds (4:34) LINKED RELEASES / VARIANTS Main Commercial – Digital pre-order download (August 2014) Album version – Art Official Age (2014) Promo CD – UK / Europe (this release) No commercial physical single or vinyl was issued. PERSONNEL Prince – vocals, instruments, production Lianne La Havas – featured vocals THE STORY “Clouds” was released as a promotional CD single in Europe in mid-September 2014, shortly before the full release of Art Official Age on 29 September. The track had already been available as a pre-order bonus download the previous month. It received a strong European promotional push, with impact date listed as 29 September on the promo sticker. Although no official music video was made, Prince and 3rdEyeGirl performed the song live on Saturday Night Live during the album’s promotional campaign. CONTEXT & NOTES This was Prince’s first promotional single under his new Warner Bros. deal. The simple white artwork with bold black text echoes the minimalist style of some of his earlier promo releases (notably the 1983 “D.M.S.R.” promo). The single entered the French SNEP chart at #182 for one week. It remains one of the more understated but atmospheric tracks from the Art Official Age era.
