Background
editAfter seeing a video clip of Grammy Award winner Hill telling a European TV show that she wanted to work with Prince, the musician and producer tracked Hill down and invited her to a listening party in Los Angeles for Prince's then-new album Art Official Age.[2] That was the first time the two musicians had met, and Prince asked Hill to send him some of her songs. He provided her with some comments and Hill was later invited to Prince's Paisley Park studio complex to jam with his band. Hill had already written some of the songs for the album, and Prince suggested some new arrangements, which worked better for a band.[3] The songs were recorded in two or three weeks, which Prince said was "the fastest album"[2] he had ever produced.
