− | + | In addition, [[Prince]] appears, uncredited, as a musican on the tracks [[I Oh I]] and [[Crying]] and is listed as executive producer for both songs. For the 1993 USA re-release, he provided a remix of [[I Wanna Be]] (a track from their previous album ''Fortune Fairytales''). | |

+ | '''Sessions and compiling''' | ||
+ | |||
+ | [[Prince]] met the band [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lo%C3%AFs_Lane Loïs Lane] when they opened for some shows on the [[Nude Tour]], and they later asked him to contribute songs to their next album. [[Prince]] obliged, and some of the album’s tracks were recorded by [[Kirk Johnson]] at [[Paisley Park Studios]], Chanhassen, MN, USA, in early 1992. In a 1992 interview, [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lo%C3%AFs_Lane Loïs Lane] discussed the recording of the album: ''"[[Prince]] asked us to send demos, so we did. He listened to them, changed them, and sent them back. We sent a lot of tapes. Prince wrote [[Qualified]] together with [[Kirk Johnson]], and also in the song there is a sample of [[Prince]] (“Dig It”). We also covered the old B-side [[Sex]] and [[Prince]] helped with two other songs on the album ([[I Oh I]] and [[Crying]]). We wrote the rest of the album. During the tour (i.e. The [[Nude Tour]] which featured [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lo%C3%AFs_Lane Loïs Lane] as the opening act on some dates) [[Prince]] already had a lot of ideas about helping us, and said "send me some stuff; I want to help..."."'' | ||
+ | |||
+ | A fifth song (sixth with the remix of [[I Wanna Be]]) called "I Love A Woman" was also recorded at [[Paisley Park Studios]] with [[Kirk Johnson]] and the [[NPG Hornz]] but it does not feature any contribution from [[Prince]]. | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | '''Promotion''' | ||
+ | |||
+ | The album produced one single released internationally, [[Single: Qualified|Qualified]] but failed to chart in the USA. It reached number 13 on their home country album chart, however. | ||
+ | In The Netherlands three more singles, [[Single: Crying|Crying]], [[Single: I Oh I|I Oh I]] and [[Single: Sex|Sex]], were released to equally limited success. | ||
+ | |||
+ | The album reached number 13 on their home country album chart. | ||
