Two months earlier, three snippets of the track were posted as teaser videos on the [http://www.youtube.com/channel/UC1XCYeRu125xQS0lqP1YAQw 3rdEyeGirl YouTube account]. The videos all stated "Buy Now!" and included an iTunes URL, but the link pointed towards the single [[Single: Baltimore|Baltimore]], which went on sale less than 12 hours earlier. The three snippets were removed from the YouTube account around 18 June, 2015. |
| − | + | All three teaser videos consisted of a excerpt of the song, over text and images stating "new funk" by [[Prince]] would be coming in Summer 2015. An image contained in the video may be a cover for an album titled '''Free Urself''', but there has been no confirmation of an album by that name, and when [[Stare]] was available in full on Spotify, a new album titled [[Album: Hitnrun|Hitnrun]] had been announced. It is not yet known if [[Stare]] is planned for inclusion on the album. | |
| − | + | While specific recording dates are not known, it is assumed to have been recorded in early 2015 at [[Paisley Park Studios]], Chanhassen, MN, USA. The horns present on the full version were not included on the snippets made available in late May, so it is assumed that they were recorded in June or July, 2015. The track contains a sample from [[Prince and the Revolution]]'s 1986 hit [[Kiss]]. More information about the track will be added as it becomes known. | |
