Prince Originals Unreleased Demos album has finally been released. Prince was one of the greatest artists to ever touch the mic. Apart from the classics that he released over the span of over three decades, casual fans often forget that he also gave other artists some excellent songs that he originally wrote/produced and performed.
When the vault with the spinning wheel at his Paisley Park studios was opened after his death, thousands of unreleased songs on tapes and hard drives were unearthed. Among these were some tracks written for other performers and out of the many, 14 were handpicked to create the Prince: Originals album.
The tracks were selected collaboratively by JAY-Z and Troy Carter, on behalf of The Prince Estate and are exclusive to Jay’s streaming service TIDAL. Songs on the album are ‘Jungle Love’ (for The Time), ‘Make Up’ (for Vanity 6), ‘You’re My Love’ (for Kenny Rogers), ‘Manic Monday’ (The Bangles) and many more.
Prince passed away in 2016. Before his death, the songwriter had been working on a memoir titled The Beautiful Ones, which will be published in its unfinished state by Random House later this year. In addition to Originals, the musician’s estate has also released a deluxe edition of Purple Rain, as well as a demo album titled Piano & a Microphone 1983.
