Dream Of Fire (PurpleFireMix) is a remix by Prince of Ana Moura's track Dream Of Fire, the 16th track from her fifth album Desfado (2012), and was streamed on Prince's 3rd Eye Girl YouTube channel on 12 January 2013.
The track was credited as written by Ana Moura and originally produced by Larry Klein. But in 2018 Moura revealed that is was actually co-written with Prince whom she says wrote the lyrics based on her melody.
This is the only known collaboration between Prince and Ana Moura, who had previously performed on stage with Prince at a concert on 18 July 2010, Herdade do Cabeço da Flauta, Praia do Meco (Palco Super Bock), Aldeia do Meco, Portugal.
It is not known if the remix will be officially released to own; this page will be updated if more information becomes available.
The original track contains a Hammond organ contribution by legendary American pianist, keyboardist, band-leader and composer Herbie Hancock. His contribution is also included to a lesser degree in Prince's remix, marking the only known studio track to feature both Hancock and Prince (Herbie Hancock had appeared on stage with Prince in 2005, however, as well as on George Clinton's Paisley Park Records album Hey Man... Smell My Finger).
While specific recording dates are not known, the remix is assumed to have been recorded in late 2012 at Paisley Park Studios, Chanhassen, MN, USA.
