The Prince Estate, in partnership with Legacy Recordings, has released Timeless, a new posthumous Prince album featuring 10 rare and previously unreleased recordings from his legendary Vault.
Available now across all major streaming platforms and in multiple physical configurations, Timeless is the first Prince release ever curated to span every major era of his career, bringing together recordings created between 1977 and 2016 in a sweeping portrait of one of music’s most innovative and influential artists.
Spanning nearly four decades of extraordinary creative output, Timeless traces Prince’s artistic evolution from his earliest studio recordings as a teenage prodigy in Minneapolis through one of his final recorded performances. Heard together for the first time, these recordings illuminate the remarkable consistency, curiosity and creative ambition that defined Prince throughout his life, an artist perpetually moving forward, experimenting and creating on his own terms.
Timeless Producer and Co-Manager of The Prince Estate L. Londell McMillan shared, “Timeless describes Prince in many ways, even beyond his musical genius. Prince was indeed one of only one, a legendary artist and master musician with unprecedented style, faith, courage, dignity and brilliance. His overall essence and spirit remains timeless. This current album covers 5 decades of Prince’s music from 1977 through 2016 with unreleased music from the Prince Vault, all on one album. Enjoy this music project along with his legendary catalog of released music, as it all is TIMELESS and more to come this year and beyond.”
Arriving alongside the album is new single and music video “The Guilty Ones,” a previously unreleased recording from 2007. Recorded by Ian Boxill at Paisley Park on October 26, 2007, the track features background vocals by Marva King and Shelby J., bass by Josh Dunham and drums by Cora Coleman-Dunham, and was produced, arranged, composed and performed by Prince.
