Recorded in the spring of 2010 and then mysteriously abandoned by Prince before its release, the statement album documents Prince's concerns, hopes, and visions for a shifting society, presciently foreshadowing an era of political division, disinformation, and a renewed fight for racial justice.

Prince's musical vault opens and reveals this collection of previously unreleased home recordings from 1983. It features early versions of Purple Rain; 17 Days; and Strange Relationship, as well as a cover of Joni Mitchell's A Case of You.

Several of the iconic songs found on the album were considerable hits for the artists who recorded them. It pulls back the curtain to reveal the origins of these familiar songs, in addition to deeper album cuts, and also features Prince's majestic original 1984 version of Nothing Compares 2 U.

Prince returns with a contemporary concoction of soul, R&B, and funk with immediate and prominent melodies. Prince's vocals are rich and solid, taking full advantage of his vocal range with decidedly seductive lyrics.
