Kylie Minogue is left 'baffled' as a long-lost unreleased song with Prince Baby Doll is unearthed

Kylie Minogue has been left 'baffled' as a long-lost unreleased song with Prince has been unearthed. 

Titled Baby Doll, the 1992 collaboration saw Kylie's lyrics sang by Prince and was considered forever gone. 

But now, the song has been found despite it originally being recorded on a cassette tape and belonged to his estate, according to the Sun. 

The Princess Of Pop, 56, is said to be confused by the leak but it happy fans can finally hear what the mystery song sounded like. 

A source told the publication: 'Kylie is just as baffled as everyone else as to where the track has come from.

'It was initially delivered to her on a cassette back in the Nineties and since Prince's death in 2016, belonged to his estate.

'Any leak is annoying but it's nice for fans to finally know what the mystery song sounds like, God knows they have waited long enough.'

On the track, recorded over 32 years ago, Prince can be heard singing: 'Let me be your baby doll, sugar and spice and all things nice.

'Let me be your paradise. Let me be your baby doll.'

With his instantly recognisable vocals, the new track likens to Kylie's 2001 hit Come Into My World. 

When Prince passed away in 2016, Kylie shared a heartfelt tribute to the star and first revealed the secret recording to her followers on Instagram. 

'My musical crush since my teenage years. I met Prince after his concert at London's Earls Court in 1992', wrote the Australian songstress next to an image of Prince's iconic Purple Rain album cover. 

'I said I would love to work with him and he said, come visit the studio. He asked me where my lyrics were and where would I like my mic set up. Joking with me,' she continued. 

'I did end up giving him lyrics for a song called Baby Doll. His driver delivered a cassette to me later that night. 

'It was a demo of Prince singing and playing the song Baby Doll he had written using the lyrics. We never recorded it properly,' Kylie continued. 

'I then had the privilege of visiting Paisley Park. It was a dream come true. Thank you for the music and memories. #ripprince #whendovescry', she concluded. 

Fans were quick to flood Kylie's post with messages pleading the pop princess to release the enigmatic track, with one writing: '@kylieminogue both my favorite artists on one song . You must make this happen! You should release it in his honor he would be proud'. 

'Can we hear Baby Doll on your next album?' asked another.

Kylie has previously spoken about her fondness for Prince, as she told the Mirror in 2014 that: 'I would love to sing with Prince because he was my obsession as a teenager, literally'. 

'I might have paid for his car because I went to see Purple Rain so many times', she admitted at the time. 

Prince died at his Paisley Park estate near Minneapolis after he was found collapsed in a lift. 

Four years later, Kylie then revealed that she nearly recorded a song with Prince - who is widely regarded as one of the greatest musicians of his generation - something she regards as 'an almost dream come true!' 

She explained how - after meeting him backstage following a gig - she wrote some lyrics at the Purple Rain hitmaker's request, which he then turned into the titled Baby Doll song.

Speaking to Apply Music, the legendary artist reflected on her past hits and the road that lead her to create this upbeat record, which included almost recording a song with the artist formerly known as Prince.  

She explained: 'Well, I had an almost dream come true, which was with Prince. I met him. As a 14 year old, a hormonally charged music maniac, Prince is just... it.

'Then I went to see his show, God, early 90's at Earl's Court - RIP Earl's Court - and got to meet him afterwards. 

'I don't know where I plucked up the courage from, but I said, 'Ah, I'm making an album.' I don't know what I said. I have no idea. This is before phones and stuff.

'I'm more gutsy than I kind of make out sometimes even to myself. Yeah. We just kind of hung out. I don't even know what that means, but we hung out and he kind of put me on the spot a bit.

'He was like, 'So where are you lyrics?' I'm like, 'I don't...' 'Where do you want your mic set up?' It was too weird and I must've seen him a couple... I wish I had, without phones, the memories, there's just bits.'

Kylie went on to detail how, after writing lyrics for Prince, he then sent a cassette of a song title Baby Doll which he created using her words, but her record label 'weren't into' the idea of Prince possibly 'doing it all'. 

She continued: 'I can't really remember how many days it was over or whatever. I just like wrote some lyrics. I didn't even write songs then. I mean, I kind of wanted to, but I didn't really, and I gave him some lyrics said, this is just so the old days I love it.

'I guess there was a, I spoke with him on the phone and think, and he said, 'My driver's is going to drop over with the cassette.' The driver arrives, one of those home alone moments. Bing bong on the apartment.

'There's no one to share this with. There's a cassette in my hand with Prince singing, a song called Baby Doll, that I kind of was involved with, but he who slept four hours a night or something and just created stuff the rest of the other 20 hours.

'That was my almost, we didn't record it. Well, actually I do know. I suggested it to my label and I think he would want it to do it all and they weren't into that. That was that.

'I might've been kind of gutsy, but I wasn't... I don't know. I wasn't sure enough of myself to say, 'No.''

lie also admitted how 'glad' she is that a huge portion of her life came before mobile phones meant 'everything is being filmed all of the time.'

The Spinning Around spongstress admitted: 'Well, I'm really glad that a lot of my life experience was before phones and everything being filmed all the time.

'I've got to go to the clubs, and if you weren't there, you weren't there. You had to be there and experience it, and I love that.

'And I hate to sound like that old person that goes on about it, and the kids are like, 'Shut up,' you know? 'Yeah we know there weren't there weren't phones, and we know all of that,' but - I love that.

'I got to do all of that without feeling like it's going to be live streamed somewhere.'
