The Girl 6 soundtrack features all old material. The 2 new tracks by
"Prince" are actually old songs just never before released. "She Spoke 2
Me" was originally recorded with The NPG in the sessions for "Diamonds And
Pearls" and "Don't Talk 2 Strangers" was recorded in 1991 and offered (along
with 4 others) to Joe Cocker for his "Night Calls" album, Joe eventually
chose "Five Women".

"Girl 6" the song which is by The NPG was probably written ages ago and just
adjusted to fit the film.

Seeing as Prince has hundreds apon hundreds of unrealesed songs in the
vaults it wouldn't be hard to find suitable songs. Some of these songs are
about to be released as part of his 'deal' with Warners under the titles
"The Vaults: Volumes 1, 2 and 3", under the name Prince. After this he will
be free from his deal and will release an already recorded album titled
"Emancipation" under the name O(-+->.
