'High Priest of Pop' Estate to Release Career-Spanning Rarities Album
April of this year marked a decade since His Royal Badness tragically passed away.
The legacy of Prince carries on, of course, and his estate is now releasing a 10-song collection that features previously unreleased tracks from across his entire career, Variety reports.
Timeless, as it's been dubbed, is said to span from 1977 through the year of his death and will be released on August 28.
The announcement coincides with the unveiling of "Stone," a previously unreleased recording from spring 1995 that was uploaded the late artist's official YouTube page on Wednesday, June 3. Check it out below.
The announcement is also pegged to Prince Celebration 2026, taking place until June 7 across Paisley Park and downtown Minneapolis, Variety also noted. A special event on Friday, June 5 will feature appearances from NPG, The Revolution's Bobby Z and Lisa Coleman, and more.
Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey had officially proclaimed June 1–7, 2026, "Prince Celebration Week." The city's skyline will reportedly be illuminated in purple on Saturday, June 6 - the evening before the "Purple Rain" singer's birthday.
Back on April 2, the Prince estate previewed Timeless with the release of "With This Tear," which was originally recorded at Paisley Park in 1991 and is a complete Prince solo performance, per Variety. Have a listen below.
Here is the complete track list for the upcoming Timeless collection:
- "I Am You" - 1977
- "Tick Tick Bang" - 1981
- "Heaven" - 1985
- "I Wonder" - 1989
- "With This Tear" - 1991
- "Stone" - 1995
- "Calabama" - 2003
- "The Guilty Ones" - 2007
- "Bestest Friend" - 2012
- "How Come You Don't Call Me Anymore?" (Live) - 2016
Earlier this month, meanwhile, marked a 41-year milestone for Prince and the Revolution's psychedelic dance hit, "Raspberry Beret." Released on May 15, 1985, the song marked a significant departure from the musical style the icon had embraced on the sweeping ballad "Purple Rain," released the year prior, signaling a creative evolution in both sound and artistic direction.
