Welcome 2 America, which, now five years after his death, his estate will release for the first time on July 30. On Thursday, Sony shared the second single from this collection, Born 2 Die, which was recorded during a flurry of studio activity in the spring of 2010, when President Obama was just a year into his first term and Prince was reflecting deeply on the issues affecting the Black community and the role he hoped to play in the social justice movement, according to a statement.
Recorded with bassist Tal Wilkenfeld, drummer Chris Coleman, and vocalists Shelby J., Liv Warfield and Elisa Fiorillo, the simmering soul groove captures this political time in Prince s life.

Catch Me If You Can, where Leo leans into the charm and fascination with the sly wink of a con man. It’s like he knows that we know that he knows who and what he is but here, Leo’s sleight of hand is right there on the surface. This is all an act, a long con. Do we know the real Leo or do we just think we know him? It’s a mystery that will surround the rest of his career.
