The album was mostly recorded at [[Kirk Johnson]]’s and [[Morris Hayes]]’ home-studios in Minnesota. In her book ''Purple Reigned On Me'' published in 2012, [[Mikele_White|Mikki White]] explained that [[Prince]] provided advices during the recording of the album although his contribution is uncredited: <br>''"We received his professional advice for songs and even re-did some songs he insisted that we to do over ''(sic)''. Once I remember him asking us to come to his studio (Paisley Park), to do a few songs over. We did. It happened to be a cool experience working with him because he was a perfectionist and was good at what he did (...).All of the songs we were to record were written by us; we arranged tge songs, prepared the vocals, and were ready to record. [[Prince]] scrutinized our lyrics and each song was reviewed microscopically. We ended-up co-writing several of our songs with [[Prince]]."'' |
