4 April 2023 - Prince ft. Sheena Easton - U Got The Look

If you think Prince sounds a little squeakier than usual, you're right - he's using a sped-up voice on the recording of this song.  You see, Prince recorded an album in 1986 as an artist named Camille - with sped-up vocals feminizing his voice.  It was never released (although it looks like it is getting a release, possibly as part of a Sign O' The Times rerelease), but he still had the technology and used it on this song, which he DID release.

The song went to #2 on the US pop charts and ended up being a worldwide hit, immortalizing the World Series of Love.  By the way, the year this was released, 1987, the World Series came to Minneapolis, Prince's hometown.
