\n\t32 years after virtuosic rocker Prince and Australian pop princess Kylie Minogue teamed up for a collaboration, their-previously unheard efforts have now reportedly been leaked online.<\/p>\n
\n\tThe track, titled \u201cBaby Doll\u201d, has been discussed at length by fans of the Purple One, with its origins tracing back<\/a> to the Australian leg of Prince\u2019s Diamonds and Pearls<\/em> tour in April and May of 1992. Recorded at Sydney\u2019s Studios 301 during his visit to the country, Prince and Minogue reportedly connected during the former\u2019s performance at London\u2019s Earl\u2019s Court in June of the same year.<\/p>\n \n\t\u201cWe just kind of hung out,\u201d Minogue told Zane Lowe<\/a> in 2020. \u201cI don\u2019t even know what that means, but we hung out and he kind of put me on the spot a bit. He was like, \u2018So where are your lyrics?\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tThe pair reportedly continued their discussions before Prince sent his driver to Minogue\u2019s apartment with a tape of his efforts. \u201cThere\u2019s a cassette in my hand with Prince singing, a song called \u2018Baby Doll,\u2019 that I kind of was involved with, but he who slept four hours a night or something and just created stuff the rest of the other 20 hours,\u201d she remembered. \u201cThat was my almost, we didn\u2019t record it.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tUltimately, the track didn\u2019t receive the full studio treatment due to Minogue\u2019s label nixing the idea.<\/p>\n \n\tThe newly-leaked version<\/a> of the track arrived on Friday (Dec. 16) via the New Paisley Generation<\/a> YouTube account and features the same lyrics that Minogue confirmed in 2018<\/a> to have written for the collaboration.<\/p>\n \n\tPer the upload\u2019s description, \u201cBaby Doll\u201d was one of the tracks from Prince\u2019s Vault that were planned to be included on an intended project called Diamonds and Love<\/a><\/em> in 2022. This release would have included unreleased material recorded during the sessions for 1991\u2019s Diamonds and Pearls<\/em> album and 1992\u2019s Love Symbol<\/em> record.<\/p>\n \n\tA deluxe reissue of the late artist\u2019s Diamonds and Pearls<\/em> album emerged in 2023, but was limited solely to the material recorded prior to the record\u2019s original release in October 1991 \u2013 ultimately excluding the track.<\/p>\n
