+ | [[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]]. | ||
