Uncovering the Vault: New Prince Album Unveils Rare Treasures

Just as Prince Celebration Week was getting underway in Minneapolis, a fresh wind blew through the city - and into the vaults of the legendary artist. The Prince Estate has unveiled Timeless, a brand-new posthumous album featuring 10 previously unreleased recordings spanning 1977 to 2016.

The album delves deep into the Vault's unexplored corners, yielding gems that have been hidden away for decades. “Stone,” the first single from Timeless, hints at the depth and breadth of these unreleased tracks. With its raw energy and Prince's unmistakable vocals, it's a tantalizing taste of what's to come.

The significance of this new album lies in its ability to humanize Prince's legacy, casting light on his creative process and artistic evolution over time. It also raises questions about the handling of Prince’s posthumous releases and the need for more transparency from the Estate.
