In a stunning revelation for music lovers, a long-lost collaboration between Prince and Kylie Minogue has surfaced online—32 years after it was first recorded. The track, titled “Baby Doll,” has been making waves after being unexpectedly leaked, much to the astonishment of fans and the music industry alike.
Kylie Minogue had often referred to the track in interviews over the years, but until now, it was believed that the recording had been lost forever. The song was thought to have been abandoned, with only fleeting mentions and vague memories keeping its legacy alive. Now, after more than three decades, the world can finally hear the track that was once shrouded in mystery.
A Surprise Discovery
The origins of “Baby Doll” date back to 1992, when Kylie Minogue met Prince after one of his iconic performances in London. The two musical giants, both at the height of their careers, quickly began collaborating on a song. Prince sent Kylie a cassette tape featuring his demo of the track, but unfortunately, the collaboration didn’t go any further. Kylie never had the chance to record her own vocals, as the project was reportedly shut down by her record label at the time.
The track, however, stayed on the back burner, until now. It seems that Prince’s demo of “Baby Doll” has recently resurfaced, making its way to YouTube, and it’s as captivating as fans had hoped. According to sources close to the discovery, Kylie herself was caught off guard by the leak. A source told The Sun, “Kylie is just as baffled as everyone else as to where the track has come from. It was initially delivered to her on a cassette back in the Nineties and, since Prince’s death in 2016, it belonged to his estate.”
Though the leak may be frustrating for the estate, there’s no denying that it’s a moment of sheer joy for fans who had been waiting for so long to hear the elusive track. The source added, “Any leak is annoying but it’s nice for fans to finally know what the mystery song sounds like. God knows they’ve waited long enough.”
The Lyrics and The Memory
The lyrics to “Baby Doll” offer a glimpse into the creative chemistry between Prince and Kylie Minogue. The chorus, which Kylie once recalled in interviews, goes:
“Sugar and spice and all things nice / Come and show me paradise / Sugar daddy stay a while / Let me be your baby doll.”
Kylie had previously mentioned these lyrics in a 2018 interview with Esquire, recalling, “Let me be your baby doll / sugar and spice and all things nice / Let me be your paradise,” suggesting that this newly leaked demo is indeed the track she had in mind all these years. While the lyrics may have evolved slightly in her memory, the core essence of the song remains intact, and fans now get to hear Prince’s demo, which encapsulates the magic that was never fully realized in the original collaboration.
What Happens Next?
The discovery of “Baby Doll” raises more questions than answers. The leaked demo has left many wondering about the status of the track. Will it be officially released? What’s next for the song now that it has been unearthed? While Kylie and Prince’s estates may be grappling with the leak, fans are simply grateful for the chance to hear the track that was once a lost piece of musical history.
As technology continues to evolve, the possibility of AI-generated demos and remixes has also come into play. However, the authenticity of the “Baby Doll” demo seems genuine, considering Kylie’s past recollections and the unmistakable signature sound of Prince. Until an official release, music lovers will have to wait and see what becomes of the track.
For now, the world can savor the magic of Prince and Kylie Minogue’s long-lost collaboration. If you haven’t heard it yet, you can check it out on YouTube and join in the excitement of one of the most unexpected musical moments of the year.
