| + | |introduction = '''1000 X's & O's''' has been announced as the tenth track on [[Prince]]'s forthcoming 38th album [[Album: Hitnrun|Hitnrun]].The history of the track goes back 23 years, however. | ||
| − | + | The track was originally recorded (as '''A 1,000 Hugs And Kisses''') in late April - early May, 1992, at [[Studios 301]], Sydney, Australia, while in Sydney on the [[Diamonds And Pearls Tour]] (during the same set of sessions as [[Goldnigga]], [[Deuce & A Quarter]], [[Goldie's Parade]], [[Everybody Get On Up]] and [[Baby Doll]]). At the time of recording it was intended for [[Rosie Gaines]], who sung lead vocals on the recording. [[Prince]] had planned on recording a rap by [[Carmen Electra]] to include in the song, but he decided against it on the advice of his bandmembers. | |
| − | + | In late 1993 or early 1994, [[Rosie Gaines]]' vocals were replaced by [[Nona Gaye]] at [[Paisley Park Studios]], Chanhassen, MN, USA, and her version (still known as '''A 1,000 Hugs And Kisses''') was intended for a planned project titled [[Album: MPLS|MPLS]], but this project remained unfinished. Around the same time, however, it was considered for inclusion on a proposed album by [[Nona Gaye]], but this was also left unfinished. | |
| + | During [[Prince]]'s 2007 [[21 Nights In London : The Earth Tour]], he unexpectedly played the track during a solo piano set at the [[31 August, 2007]] show, marking its only live performance to date, over 15 years after its initial recording. | ||
| − | + | A new recording of the track was premiered over the PA prior to an unannounced [[Prince]] show at [[Paisley Park Studios]] on [[16_November,_2014-am|16 November, 2014 (am)]] (along with [[Revelation]], [[The X's Face]], a new recording of [[If I Could Get Your Attention]], [[Ain't About 2 Stop]] and a remix of [[Pretzelbodylogic]]), following a show by [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FKA_twigs FKA twigs] in a different room. On 24 July, 2015 the track was announced on [http://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-33649080 BBC News] as inclusion on [[Prince]]'s 38th album [[Album: Hitnrun|Hitnrun]] due 7 September, 2015 on Tidal. It is assumed that the version planned for inclusion on [[Album: Hitnrun|Hitnrun]] is the re-recording from Autumn 2014 at [[Paisley Park Studios]], but this is unconfirmed. The revised title for the track was only revealed when the album's tracklist was posted on [http://www.amazon.fr/gp/product/B014RPCV82?ref_=cm_sw_r_awd_Sy95vb04A5H2T Amazon.fr's] CD preorder page. | |
