About the album

Prince recorded music at a pace few artists have ever matched, and for decades fans heard rumours of the songs waiting in the vault at Paisley Park. Since his death in 2016, his estate has been bringing that work to light, and Timeless, his forty-first studio album, is the latest chapter. It sounds like him from the first bar: the falsetto, the restless funk, the sudden turns into ballad territory, and the sense that he could play every instrument in the room, because he usually did.

"I Am You" opens the record with confidence, "Tick Tick Bang" and "Calabama" show off his playful, slinky side, and "With This Tear" and "The Guilty Ones" lean into the soulful, heart-on-sleeve writing he was famous for. The closing live version of "How Come U Don't Call Me Anymore," a piano ballad first heard on the flip side of "1999," is a reminder of what an extraordinary performer he was. For longtime fans it is another precious piece of the puzzle. For newcomers, it is simply more proof that nobody else did it quite like him.
