Background singers including [[Shelby J.]], [[Liv Warfield]] and [[Elisa Dease]], who had been present throughout [[Album: 20Ten|20Ten]], appeared on [[Same Page Different Book]] and [[Welcome 2 America]], with [[Shelby J.]] providing a rap on the former track. [[Elisa Dease]] also provides co-lead vocals on [[Stand Up And B Strong]]. [[Andy Allo]] is believed to appear on background vocals on the [[1,000 Light Years From Here]] (although since she joined [[Prince]]’s band in May 2011, it’s possible that her vocals on the released version were added after the album project was abandoned). Drummer [[Chris Coleman]] and bass guitarist [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tal_Wilkenfeld Tal Wilkenfeld] appear on [[Hot Summer]]. |

[[Same Page Different Book]] was streamed as audio only over a static video on [[3rd_Eye_Girl_Streams|3rd Eye Girl YouTube channel]] in January 2013. [[1,000 Light Years From Here]] was released in 2015 on [[Album: Hitnrun Phase Two|Hitnrun Phase Two]], included in full as a 3:05 coda to the track [[Black Muse]] (as such, the title [[1,000 Light Years From Here]] is not used on the album’s tracklist). [[When She Comes]] was also released on [[Album: Hitnrun Phase Two|Hitnrun Phase Two]], although the version intended for '''Welcome 2 America''' was more stripped-down, with just piano and not the accordion used on the released version. |
