Dandelion is an unreleased track written by Marcus Anderson and recorded in August 2014 by NPG Q, a band consisting of John Blackwell, Marcus Anderson, Andrew Gouché and Xavier Taplin.
The basis for the track was recorded live on 10 August 2014 at Paisley Park Studios in Chanhassen, Minnesota. Prince added his guitar parts later in August.
Dandelion was intended for an album by NPG Q. The project was abandoned when John Blackwell left to tour with D’Angelo in October 2014.
Marcus Anderson re-recorded the track with other musicians and released it in 2017 on his “Limited Release” album. The version with Prince’s instrumental and production inputs remains unreleased.
