On Thursday (6.04,) executors of the Prince estate confirmed the August 28 release of Timeless, a full length of previously unheard songs.
“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.” “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,” read the statement.
Preempting the full length, the iconic musician’s 1995’s ‘Stone,’ is now available to stream, and the remaining nine songs, that span from 1977 until 2016, will include 1991’s ‘With This Tear’ and 2007’s ‘The Guilty Ones.’
The announcement runs concurrent with the Prince Celebration 2026 festival held at his Paisley Park home and at locations across Minneapolis, Minnesota ,featuring Chaka Khan and Miguel.
“For the first time ever, downtown Minneapolis becomes a living tribute to Prince Rogers Nelson – where thousands come together, voices united, to celebrate the music and spirit that continues to define a city. This is more than a sing-along. This is a moment,” a press release reads.
A free block party will also be held in downtown Minneapolis on Saturday, with a choir to lead the spectacle.
Born Prince Rogers Nelson, died at the age of 57 of an accidental fentanyl overdose in April 2016.
