In August and September 1989, [[Prince]] asked [[Eric Leeds]] to compile tracks from the vault for a third [[Madhouse]] album. This track was one of ten selected, and in keeping with previous [[Madhouse]] releases tracks were given tentative numerical titles of [[Andorra|17]] to [[Once Upon A Time|26]] (the album would be titled [[Album: Times Squared|26]]) - this track was given the title of '''24''' as the eighth track on the album at the time. When [[Prince]] suggested the album should be released as a solo album by [[Eric Leeds]], Leeds came up with titles for each track, in Spring 1990; this track became known as '''Kenya''' and the album became known as [[Album: Times Squared|Times Squared]]. |
