The instrumental track features [[Prince]] as producer and on keyboards. No writing credits are given, and it is thought to have been largely-improvised by the musicians who took part in the recording. |
− | + | Initial tracking took place on [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/January 6|6 January, 2016]] at [[Paisley Park Studios]], Chanhassen, MN, USA. [[Prince]]'s [http://twitter.com/Prince3EG Twitter account] announced the track early the following morning: | |
− | + | <blockquote>"''JUST CUT A THE JAZZ SINGLE "[[Ruff Enuff|RUFF ENUFF]]" WITH [[Kirk Johnson|KAJ]] ON DRUMS, [[Adrian Crutchfield|ADRIAN]] ON TALKINGSAXBOX & [[MonoNeon|MONO NEON]] ON BASS! ONLY NEED A LIL' [[Donna Grantis|DONNA]] MESS &: $$$!''" </blockquote> | |
− | + | It is believed, therefore, that a further session is planned for guitar overdubs by [[Donna Grantis]]. In response to a fan asking when they could hear the track, [http://twitter.com/Prince3EG @Prince3EG] replied <blockquote>"HOPEFULLY, THIS WEEKEND"</blockquote>. The track was released the following Monday as [[Tidal]]'s ''Purple Pick of the Week'', without a contribution from [[Donna Grantis]]. The description of the track as provided to [[Tidal]] by [[NPG Records]] included the following information: | |
− | + | <blockquote>“You may recognize [[Kirk Johnson|Kirk A Johnson]] on drums, [[MonoNeon|Mono Neon]] on bass and [[Adrian Crutchfield]] on sax and electric woodwinds as the house band 4 [[Prince]]’s [[Paisley Park Studios|Paisley Park]] After Dark Jam Sessions. Well, that’s not all they do. 4 the past week they’ve been cutting basic trax 4 their as yet untitled debut album. With [[Prince]] producing and handling the keyboard & guitar duties, the set promises 2 b picking up right where [[Judith Hill]]’s [[Album: Back In Time|BACK IN TIME]] left off. These brothas murder the funk! Normally they wouldn’t let a track out until it’s finished, but this one had 2 go! It was ruining everybody’s good loox. If U think U can resist the funk, check out the key change of [[MonoNeon|Mono]]’s bass solo at near 4 oclockmark. Exactly.”</blockquote> | |
+ | During the [http://twitter.com/Prince3EG Twitter] exchange about the track, a fan asked if this was the first track to be recorded in 2016, to which [http://twitter.com/Prince3EG @Prince3EG] replied <blockquote>"YES, IT'S ALREADY GOT A SISTER: ON THE SAME ALBUM AS "[[Free Urself|FREE URSELF]]"...THEY SOUND GREAT 2GETHER!"</blockquote> It has been speculated that '''Free Urself''' is the title of an album that would contain the title track and '''Ruff Enuff''', but this has not been confirmed. The track was released using the artist credit [[MonoNeon|Mono Neon]], while [[Free Urself]] was credited to [[Prince]]. | ||
