The Estate shared a statement Prince said in 2010 about the album.
The world is fraught with misin4mation. George Orwell’s vision of the future is here. We need 2 remain steadfast in faith in the trying times ahead.
The 12 track album has 11 original songs from the late singer and a cover of Soul Asylum’s “Stand Up and B Strong” — all of which have never been released before. According to RollingStone, a few of the songs were performed by Prince either live, via webcasts, or at one-off radio premieres.
The late singer recorded the album with his 2011-era New Power Generation lineup. They did this at Paisley Park Studios. Afterward, he embarked on his 2011 Welcome 2 America tour. This included his historic 21 Nite Stand at Inglewood, California’s The Forum — a multi-purpose indoor arena.
