Two new Prince releases will celebrate the iconic artist’s music with hits and previously unreleased material from his legendary vault. The albums, from NPG Records and Warner Bros. Records, mark the first Prince recordings released since his passing on April 21, 2016.
The first, the 40-track Prince 4Ever, will bring together most of Prince’s biggest hits including “When Doves Cry,” “Let’s Go Crazy,” “Kiss,” “Little Red Corvette,” “Purple Rain,” “Raspberry Beret,” “Sign O’ The Times,” “1999,” “Controversy” and “Nothing Compares 2 U.” Prince 4Ever will be released on November 22 in the U.S. and November 25 around the world.
Prince 4Ever also includes “Moonbeam Levels,” a previously unreleased song recorded in 1982 during the 1999 sessions and later considered for the never-released Rave Unto The Joy Fantastic album.
Prince 4Ever will also include a 12-page booklet of never-before-seen photos by acclaimed photographer Herb Ritts.
