"While Sheila E. in press interviews emphatically denied Prince's involvement [in her album], her father revealed the truth in an interview with 'Rolling Stone'. Sheila's infectious single 'The Glamorous Life' was quite successful on urban radio ...
"In addition, Prince released under his own name a new song, 'Erotic City', aimed at fans who might have missed the heavy grooves of '1999'. This B-side to the twelve-inch single of 'Let's Go Crazy' featured co-lead vocals by Sheila E. as well as Prince's first use of an interesting technique; by slowing the tape down before recording his voice, he created a speeded-up vocal that sounds something like Prince on helium. Elsewhere, his voice was slowed down to a growl. ... The hypnotic bassline of 'Erotic City' made it an instant favorite in the dance clubs." - Alex Hahn, 'Possessed'
