A "Mind-Blowing" New Prince Album Is Coming
An official website has also been set up.
Fresh off the liberation of a special studio version of “Nothing Compares 2 U,” it looks like a brand new Prince album is in the works.
As Variety reports, a new Prince project made up of unreleased records is on course to drop in September. Speaking to the media outlet, Troy Carter — the music industry executive whose Atom Factory company oversees the Prince estate — revealed that his crew is working on releasing the aforementioned Prince LP.
“Last week, the release of ‘Nothing Compares 2 U’ was the first piece of music to come from our collaboration with the estate, and now we’re working on a release for the fall — a full-length album,” Carter tells Variety. Carter adds that the new music is “mind-blowing.”
UPDATE: According to Variety, it seems the new album will be exclusive to TIDAL. JAY-Z appears to be involved in the curation of the tracks; “our only goal is to share Prince’s music with his fans as he wanted,” states the artist.
Along with the new Prince album, an official memoir is also on the way and a new website is now live. The Prince estate has also introduced a striking, fully-formed merchandise line to promote the forthcoming projects. You can expect many more officially-sanctioned Prince wares to be released in the future as well.
