'''Try Me''' was originally planned for release in 1994, but eventually released digitally in 2005; many of the tracks had since been worked on further and released on [[Album: Closer Than Close|Closer Than Close]], released in 1995. '''Try Me''' features one song with writing and musical input by [[Prince]] - [[Hit U In The Socket|In The Socket]] (previously released by the [[NPG Music Club]] in a remixed form as [[Hit U In The Socket]]). |

Work continued until September 1991, when she and [[Prince]] fell out regarding her solo career. She was contracted to [[Paisley Park Records]], however, and continued to work on the album without [[Prince]] following her departure from the band (after the [[Diamonds And Pearls Tour]]).

They share several songs in common, although some versions may be different or have an alternate title. Two songs on [[Album: Try Me|Try Me]] ("Do What You Wanna Do" and "Ooh La La") also appear on [[Album: Closer Than Close|Closer Than Close]] and [[Album: Concrete Jungle|Concrete Jungle]]. Five other songs were included on [[Album: Concrete Jungle|Concrete Jungle]] ([[Hit U In The Socket]], "In The Middle Of The Garden", "Jah Love"/"JAH Love", "Play That Beat", "The Bitch"/"B.I.T.C.H.").
