From E 2 U is an EP by Sheila E. sold at the merchandise stand of two shows she performed at Yoshi’s, San Francisco, CA, USA, on 15 August 2010.
The EP included one song written by Prince, titled Leader Of The Band (he also appears playing piano on the track). It also includes Glorious Train, Sheila E.’s song released as the winner of the CMT reality show Gone Country.
A download version containing only the first three tracks, was listed as available soon after the CD release, from http://sheilae.bandcamp.com/. The tracks were not available to purchase, however, and Sheila E. responded to questions via Twitter saying she had set up the storefront but had not added files yet. The download page was then removed. While the CD did not contain artwork, an image was shown on the CD label which was then used as the "cover image" for the aborted download EP.
The EP was not eligible for charts, having only been released in one location on one day.
The song Leader Of The Band was later edited and released as a promo single and included on Sheila E.’s seventh solo album Icon. Mona Lisa and Waters Of Life from that EP were also re-released on Icon.
