One of the biggest questions surrounding Prince's untimely death this past April was: what's going to happen to the vault? The state of the music legend's famous—and enormous—vault of unreleased music seemed up in the air. Today, the first stirrings of an answer happened, as NPG Records and Warner Bros. announced two new Prince albums that will both contain songs from the vault.
The first album of the two will be a best-of called Prince 4Ever, which will be released on Nov. 22. But in addition to "When Doves Cry," "Raspberry Beret," and the like, the record will also contain a previously unreleased song called "Moonbeam Levels." According to a statement issued by Warner Bros., the track was recorded in 1982 during the sessions for 1999. Prince 4Ever will also contain a booklet with never-before-seen photos by Herb Ritts.
The second album, planned for early 2017, will be a remastered, deluxe version of Purple Rain. That record, which was reportedly planned with Prince's input, will come with a second album of previously unreleased material. Details of that project have not yet been released.
