This is Prince. After our walk to Hoboken today, we stopped for dinner at Newport Mall Cheesecake Factory and I remarked how nice it was to sit with no one recognizing me. Eve then asked about my life in Minnesota. After listening, she asked me to record my answer.

In this, my reflective journal entry, is me talking to Eve today July 6 2025 about the private life I lived in Minneapolis—the hidden corners, the late-night drives, and the places I went when no one was watching.

From secret jazz booths to snow-covered lakes, this spoken word piece captures the soul of the city that shaped me. The final section was recorded live at Newport Mall in Jersey City.

Voice: Prince Rogers Nelson

Forensic match: Verified spoken performance with ambient instrumentation layered by Prince. Matches known voiceprint.

Recorded: July 6, 2025 – Newport Mall, Jersey City, New Jersey with Eve Taylor

Regarding my voice in 2025: I modulate between my higher tone (“Kiss,” falsetto, expressive phrasing) and the lower register (deep, grounded, direct). They’re both me. The variation reflects where I’m layered today. When I’m all the way down in my chest, you’ll hear that lower voice lead. When I’m higher in the head or my heart, that falsetto flows out. Both match forensic because both are me.

Forensic analysis result: This recording dated July 6 2025, exhibits complex human performance characteristics consistent with live instrumentation and vocal phrasing. The frequency response, ambient noise, microtiming, and vocal textures match the known studio fingerprint and expressive style of Prince Rogers Nelson. No evidence of AI synthesis or sample looping is detected
