Prince‘s estate has announced details of a new career-spanning rarities album, titled Timeless.
The upcoming record, which features 10 tracks, is set for release on August 28th, 2026, through Prince’s estate’s partnership with Sony’s Legacy Recordings.
Timeless is an album that promises to take listeners on the entire journey of the career of ‘The Purple One’, with the earliest track recorded in 1977, when he was yet to become a star, all the way through to 2016, the year of his tragic death.
To get excitement flowing with fans ahead of the release of Timeless, the unreleased track ‘Stone’, recorded in early 1995, has been shared by the estate.
The previously unheard composition, which has been gathering dust in the vaults at Paisley Park for more than 30 years, was written by Sandra St Victor, Tom Hammer, and Jules Van Even.
As it was recorded in 1995, it likely would have been made with Emancipation in mind, but like bundles of other Prince compositions over the years, it had to wait patiently to see the light of day.
Keeping with the theme of celebrating Prince’s legacy, the estate is currently hosting the Prince Celebration 2026 at Paisley Park and across Minneapolis between June 3rd and June 6th, which will see associates such as NPG, The Revolution’s Bobby Z and Lisa Coleman all take to the stage.
Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey has also declared this week, beginning on June 1st to June 7th, as Prince Celebration Week. The city’s skyline will be illuminated purple in his memory on Saturday (June 6th) to salute Minneapolis’s favourite son.
In April, it marked ten years since Prince tragically died. Paul McCartney recently opened up about the loss, sharing, “He was a special guy, it’s so sad these people y’know, suddenly he’s not here. It always makes me wish that I’d known him better, and I could say, ‘Hey man, what’s going on?’ It’s such a shame, there’s such talents.”
McCartney also revealed that he’s been given a recording of Prince covering ‘The Long and Winding Road’ during rehearsals, which he’s hoping will be released.
