PRINCE I FEEL FOR YOU (ACOUSTIC DEMO)
7" EXCLUSIVE LIMITED EDITION
In
honor of the 40th anniversary of Prince’s second album, Prince—which
was released on October 19, 1979—The Prince Estate and Warner Records
are pleased to announce the surprise release of a previously unheard,
solo acoustic demo recording of the Grammy-winning Prince track “I Feel
for You,” available on streaming services and as a limited-run 7” vinyl
single.
The
new two-track 7" includes the acoustic demo of “I Feel for You” on the
A-side and the original studio recording on the B-side, pressed on
commemorative purple vinyl.
The
special, stripped-down demo recording captures a 20-year-old Prince in a
raw, intimate moment, and begins with the sound of the artist pressing
the record button on a cassette tape recorder and picking up an acoustic
guitar. The recording was created in the winter of 1978-1979, around
the time Prince was preparing to make his solo debut at the Capri
Theater in North Minneapolis, and it was recently rediscovered on one of
the countless cassette tapes stored in his legendary vault.
The
fully produced, studio recording of “I Feel For You” was included on
Prince’s second album, Prince. It would become a hit a few years later,
when it was covered by Chaka Khan and released as the title track of her
solo album, I Feel for You, in 1984. Her version, which featured a
cameo by the rapper Melle Mel, became a Top 10 hit on the Billboard Hot
100 and earned two Grammys—including a Grammy Award for Best R&B
Song that honored Prince’s contributions as songwriter.
