I keep wondering if this whole thing is just a decoy anyway. On the snippet of the song Dave posted, his voice appears layered on TOP of Stevie's... like something an amateur would do. They aren't singing together at all. And people keep calling this "a nearly finished song..." but to my trained ears, this is clearly a rough demo we're listening to. I guess we'll just have to see what the next chapter holds.

I think it's also really important for Stevie fans to realize we have no confirmation from Stevie herself she's working on a record. Everybody is so aflutter, making predictions she'll be done before summer, etc... but I think those are highly uniformed opinions. Anyone who has followed this woman for nearly two decades (or more) like I have knows Stevie is flakey, and never ever works quickly. I just don't want to see a bunch of heartbroken fans if this whole thing turns out to be nothing more than Stevie recording and stockpiling demos, like she's always done.

I think a lot of Eurythmics fans feel the same way about Stevie. Many will probably complain that Dave is working with Stevie instead of working with Annie on another Eurythmics album, so on all sides, not everyone call be pleased with whatever Stevie or Dave does.

I disagree with you about what Stevie's motives might be. You might be right about her just stockpiling demos, but i just don't think that's the case here. Dave is a very busy and still in demand songwriter and producer, and i think if they were just working together for Stevie to put more reels into her closet, he won't waste his time. He's the kinda guy you call when you want to do something and put it out there. And the people she's also been hanging out with (like Glen Ballard and various photographers and producers) make me think that she must be working on something, because when she's not working on a project of some kind, then Stevie is usually a homebody. I do agree with you tho that we shouldn't expect this project, whatever it is, to be released by around the summer, because if we expect that then we will all probably be disappointed when it's not.
