Shania Twain was doing some press last week when she mentioned that Prince once offered to produce an album for her.  It was after she and her husband/producer Mutt Lange had broken up.  She wasn’t writing a lot of music, and was also suffering from a vocal cord disorder called dysphonia, which made it almost impossible to sing.  Basically, she was in a bad place.

She said quote, “He was calling me and mailing me, but I wasn’t ready to do the album.  He said, ‘Come to my studio, let’s get started,’ and I just said, ‘I can’t sing right now, I just don’t have my voice yet.’  And I never did it.”

When she was ready, Prince was on tour . . . and then they just never reconnected.  She said, quote, “If I ever had professional regret, that is definitely one of them.”
