Dallas Austin and Stevie

[Rod~A~Little]

I thought I had read that Stevie had worked with R&B producer Dallas Austin, who has worked with TLC, Madonna, Michael Jackson, Pink, etc.

She had recorded several tracks with him for Trouble In Shangri-La, but decided against releasing any of them in the end.

I would love to hear some of these R&B demos/tracks. Does anyone know anything about this or if any songs ever surfaced?

No one knows anything. Whatever songs they recorded together is not known by any of the fans.

Stevie liked TLC's Unpretty, which was produced by Dallas. That was the reason she chose to work with him, if I recall.

Fans speculate it's that outtake of Bombay Sapphires. I think it's a safe bet because it is heavy on bass and one of the first things you'll notice about this outtake. My guess is that Stevie didn't like the bass at all and the effect added on her voice.
