Sheila E Sheila・E/Music Video Collection 2006-2024 Blu-Ray Version

This Blu-ray is a collection of music videos released after Sheila E.'s "Sex Cymbal." First up is Gloria Estefan's "No Llores (Don't Cry)," a passionate Latin pop track from her 2007 album "90 Millas." It features Carlos Santana, Grammy-winning Best New Artist Jose Feliciano, and Sheila. Sheila also appears in the video, showcasing her cute drumming. "Glorious Train" is a very uplifting song with potential for a single. The music video isn't 1080p either. It was also included on the "From E 2 U" CD-ROM sold at Sheila's performance at Yoshi's in San Francisco on August 15, 2010. From here on, the videos continue to be 1080p quality. Sheila's brother, Pete, began to take on most of the video direction. "Mona Lisa" is a lively Latin funk track that takes Prince's "Get On The Boat" and leans more heavily on Sheila, featuring Christian Latin singer Lucia Parker. B.Slade, who traverses genres from gospel to neo-soul to hip-hop, adds a wonderful accent to "Fiesta," a festive tune centered around Sheila's percussive and vibrant groove. The dance moves throughout the music video truly captivate the viewer. "Lovely Day" is a very happy song with lyrics about how spending time with your loved one can make any day special. The music video erupts into a very Princess-esque funk when Sheila meets a man, a truly captivating moment. This track is from "Icon." It's been 13 years since "Icon" began. While the album mostly features Latin funk, "Who I Am Now" is a beautiful ballad that reflects on her life so far and affirms the strength she has gained through those experiences, somehow suggesting a true break with Prince. The music video, featuring images and footage of Sheila's solo career during her time with Prince, is a beautiful, painting-like piece. In April 2016, while working on her follow-up album to "Icon," she composed a song dedicated to Prince: "Girl Meets Boy." It's a very sad song, featuring Sheila's piano and a few strings. Sheila also cries in the music video. The smile of a young Prince... An album with that title was also made, but it has yet to be released. And while a biographical film about her longtime relationship with Prince, titled "Girl Meets Boy," has been announced for release in 2021, it has yet to be released. I was still a girl, and when I met you, I saw your face. I was a boy, but you shook my world. And deep inside, I think I did the same. You showered me with your love. Your love rained down yesterday. Our precious memories. Could this be a dream? I don't want to wake up, I want to be with you. Welcome to my world. It's pouring rain since you left. But still, I shook your world. And somewhere deep inside, you shook me too. Just a girl, just a boy. Your love rained down on me. "Funky National Anthem" features a star-spangled banner hymn and a poignant message. "America," a live rendition of Prince's "Revolution," also features patriotic lyrics and a uniquely creative music video. And "What the World Needs Now," which is all love, also has a fantastic music video. This cover of the Pointer Sisters' "Yes We Can Can" features left-wing activist Angela Davis speaking in response to Obama's words. Freddie Stone's voice sounds just like Sly's, even more so than Prince's cover. "Everyday People" features a Prince-esque funky development not found in the Sheila-led, Eddie M-led version. These are music videos from the 2017 album, Iconic Message 4 America. "Line" features Snoop Doggy Dogg, a perfect midsummer tune. Prince and Sheila haven't performed together since their San Jose show on May 21, 2011. E Family was supposed to open that day, but Larry Graham and GCS were replaced. Later, on the 30th, Sheila tweeted that she would no longer be performing with Prince. Sheila also tweeted at the Welcome 2 Chicago show in September 2012, saying she wouldn't be performing with him, that she couldn't do it anymore, because Prince... It seems that Prince had grown to dislike Sheila, but the reasons for this include her writing in her autobiography, Beat of My Own Drum, that he proposed to her onstage during the Lovesexy tour, and her use of the funds he gave her to establish a music school. Here's a lyric summary of "Lemon Cake," released in 2020. The taste you left on my lips, the best All I do is for you I just want to stick with you like glue I thought it was over but I can't forget you He loved my lemon cake Lemon cake as an excuse Royalty and lemon cake Late at night is when I want to be with you the most Orange juice? Toast? Just looking at you I lick my lips, but I don't do this until you kiss me Boy, Prince, he loved my lemon cake Sheila sings about making lemon cake for Prince, but the lemon cake was actually made by Brenda Bennett's husband, Leroy Bennett, who was lighting designer and engineer from 1980 to 1993, and Brenda tweeted that Leroy also confirmed this. Apollonia wrote on Facebook: "April 21st, 2020 marks the fourth anniversary of the passing of our beloved Prince. During this difficult time, myself and the Purple Rain family have done our best to preserve Prince's legacy. This has been a labor of love. We will not let anyone rewrite Prince's history. Prince wrote the song 'Lemon Cake.' The title is based on a delicious cake baked for him and was inspired by Purple Rain's award-winning lightning designer, Leroy Bennett. Why would someone use the title of his song just days before the tragic anniversary of his death? And why was the Purple Rain family not even offered the opportunity to pay tribute to Prince at the televised Prince tribute concert on April 21st, 2020? Prince's band, The Revolution, literally had to fight to attend and perform. Simply put, this kind of treatment and behavior is unacceptable. I am truly saddened by all of this." I am literally forced to speak out publicly because I feel sickened by the way Prince's legacy is being distorted. The Purple Rain family continues to protect his legacy. And Prince, we will always love and protect you. Thank you for your kind words and your continued love and support. We are truly grateful." What Prince and Sheila did together while they were dating is a secret, known only to them. As an aside, Sheila, not Apollonia 6, opened for the Purple Rain tour. Both albums were released in 1984, but Sheila's first album sold better than Apollonia 6's. The aforementioned story about the music startup fund also comes from Apollonia's tweet. Prince's song "Lemon Cake" has not yet been leaked, so the lyrics are unknown. However, the date of recording is known: April 16, 1985, at Sunset Sound, featuring Prince, Sheila on drums, Wendy on guitar, and Lisa on keyboards, jamming together. "Life Can Be So Nice" was also recorded on that day. "Lemon Cake" is said to contain elements of "New Position," which was recorded the following day. It's unclear whether it's a standalone song or an early version of "New Position." It's even possible it's an instrumental track without lyrics. And here's Eric Leeds' Facebook comment from April 20, 2020: "I'm reading with interest this 'conversation' between my close friends Sheila E. and Leroy Bennett about baking Prince's favorite dessert, lemon cake. It's not widely known, but at the time, we were all required to be able to bake this treat for him. Page 13, paragraph 4, section 2B of the employment contract I signed with PRN in the late '80s states, 'Pursuant to this Agreement, the party referred to as Employee shall become familiar with the recipe for the treat referred to as Lemon Cake and shall be able to make this cake upon request by the party referred to as Employer (i.e., Prince Rogers Nelson)'." Prince only had me bake him a lemon cake once. Coincidentally, it was Passover week. I think it was '87 or '88. So, I thought it might be a good idea to ask a rabbi to bless the cake, and I proudly presented a lemon kosher cake to Prince. He loved it so much that he even considered converting to Judaism at one point. So, somewhere in the infamous Vault, there must be a remake of his classic song, "The Cross." The lyrics were slightly changed, and the title was... "The Nosh." I couldn't find any refutations from Sheila about these things. Back to Sheila's music videos. Her salsa album, "Bailar," released in April 2014, includes music videos for four songs, including the title track, and performance footage for "Bemba Colorá." There's also the music video for "Oakland N Da House," which was included on "Icon" but was suddenly released in 2024, and as a bonus, a performance by the three-piece consisting of El DeBarge, Sheila, and tour and production manager/bassist Raymond McKinley.Sheila plays drums and El doesn't sing much, but it's still amazing.
