Much of the album is believed to have been recorded in early-to-mid 2015 at [[Paisley Park Studios]], Chanhassen, MN, USA. Some tracks were recorded earlier, however. [[1000 X's & O's]] was originally recorded as [[1000 X's & O's|A 1,000 Hugs And Kisses]] in late April or early May, 1992 at [[Studios 301]], Sydney, Australia, with [[Rosie Gaines]] on lead vocals (during the same set of sessions as [[Goldnigga]], [[Deuce & A Quarter]], [[Goldie's Parade]], [[Everybody Get On Up]] and [[Baby Doll]]). In late 1993 or early 1994 [[Rosie Gaines]]' vocals were replaced by [[Nona Gaye]] at [[Paisley Park Studios]], Chanhassen, MN, USA, and her version 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. The version included here is thought to be a new recording from Autumn 2014, however. [[Fallinlove2nite]] was recorded in late 2013 for [[Prince]]'s appearance on the TV series [[Series: New Girl|New Girl]], with horn and string overdubs recorded in December, 2013. [[Shut This Down]] is believed to have been recorded in Spring 2014. [[This Could Be Us|This Could Be Us]] was originally recorded in Spring 2014 and released on [[Album: Art Official Age|Art Official Age]] (as [[This Could Be Us]]), before it was remixed in 2014 or early 2015 with additional overdubs. Similarly, [[Mr. Nelson]] contains significant components of [[Clouds]], originally recorded in Spring or Summer 2014 and originally released on [[Album: Art Official Age|Art Official Age]], before additional work was done in 2014 or early 2015 to create the new track.[[Ain't About To Stop]] and [[X's Face]] were originally recorded in Summer 2014. [[Million $ Show]] was recorded in early 2015, with further work including editing and horn/string overdubs in July, 2015. [[Like A Mack]] is believed to have been recorded at some point in early 2015, with remixing and rap overdubs by [http://www.curlyfryz.com/ Curly Fryz] taking place in early July, 2015. [[Hardrocklover]] and [[June]] were recorded on the same day in late June, 2015. | Much of the album is believed to have been recorded in early-to-mid 2015 at [[Paisley Park Studios]], Chanhassen, MN, USA.
