  / artists (C)
Real Name:Prince Rogers Nelson
Profile:Aside from the unpronounceable glyph Prince changed his name to in the mid to late 90's; the pseudonym of Camille is probably the most widely known (even over Paisley Park which people generally associate with the Minneapolis studios of the same name) alter ego of Prince's, having been credited for all of the songs on "The Black Album" as well as some of the work on "Sign O' The Times" and "When 2 R In Love," originally on the much bootlegged (and later officially released) "Black Album" but which ultimately also appeared on Prince's commercially available "Lovesexy."

djrichmatthews, Sep 25, 2005

Despite Prince's own admonishment of the work done under the name Camille as being work done under his 'dark side,' at the time The Black Album was pulled and replaced with Lovesexy, bootleg material with the Camille tag on it had already found its way into die-hard fans' tape decks and CD-players via bootlegs of demos and unused studio material for what would later become the entirety of The Black Album and roughly half - the darker half - of Prince's soundtrack to "Batman." That film featured Prince's #1 single, "Batdance," the video for which was both a tongue-in-cheek send up of the original TV show's theme and of the (then) new movie's "hyper-iconic" depiction of the story's characters. In usual Prince fashion, this was the one time the Camille 'character' would appear to the general public - in the darker half of the character Prince played in the video: Gemini - visually a hybrid of the Batman and Joker costumes, but for Prince more deeply representing his own struggle with his good, spiritual side ("Prince") and his darker, sexually-charged side ("Camille") which Prince felt was consuming him.
