Prince Estate to Release Posthumous Album ‘Timeless’ Featuring Unreleased Songs

A decade after his death, Prince is continuing his reign with the posthumous release of a new album full of previously unreleased recordings by his estate.

Set to arrive on Aug. 28, the 10-track set is preceded by the release of “Stone,” a 1995 recording taken from the archives that’s available to stream now. The tracklist spans from 1977 to 2016, marking the first time a collection of Prince songs has been curated to include every iconic phase of his singular career. It also includes the 1991 recording of “With This Tear” released by the Purple One’s estate in April ahead of the album announcement.

“Timeless traces Prince’s remarkable artistic evolution across nearly four decades, from his earliest studio recordings as a teenage prodigy in Minneapolis to one of his final recorded performances,” reads the press release. “The collection showcases the extraordinary consistency, curiosity and creative ambition that defined his work throughout his life, offering fans a rare opportunity to hear previously unheard chapters of his creative journey.”

Beyond DSPs, there will also be physical copies of Timeless available to purchase, including a D2C-exclusive limited-edition Purple Marble vinyl, standard black vinyl and CD, also out in August. Fans in Minneapolis, however, won’t have to wait until then to sample the album, as this year’s annual Prince Celebration taking place June 3-7 in Paisley Park and downtown will offer exclusive listening sessions.
