Only a handful of songs are known to have been recorded for this project as [[Prince]] was quite busy during that period with tours (the [[Jam Of The Year World Tour]], the [[New Power Soul Tour]] and the [[New Power Soul Festival Tour]]) and other recordings ([[Album: GCS 2000|GCS 2000]], [[Album: Come 2 My House|Come 2 My House]] and [[Album: Newpower Soul|Newpower Soul]] albums) on which [[Marva King|King]] also performed as a vocalist for [[The NPG|The New Power Generation]]. |

[[U’re Still The One]] was recorded as a duet with [[Prince]]. Those 3 songs were performed at least once during one-off shows given between 1997 and 1998 with [[Marva King]] at the center stage. | ||

+ | After being planned but not included as an additional track for the [[Single: Come On|Come On]] single (by the [[Band: New Power Generation|New Power Generation]], indicating that the artist name would have changed), [[U’re Still The One]] was made available on [[Prince]]’s official website [[Love4OneAnother.com]] in January 1999 and [[NPGOnlineLtd.com]] in 2000 (credited as a [[Marva King]] duet with [[File: SymbolSmallerBlue.png|link=Alias: Symbol]]).
