The estate of Prince is preparing to unveil a collection of previously unreleased recordings from the legendary musician's archive.
The Purple Rain icon, whose full name was Prince Rogers Nelson, passed away in April 2016 at the age of 57 following an accidental fentanyl overdose.
Ahead of this weekend's Prince Celebration 2026 festival at Paisley Park and various locations throughout Minneapolis, Minnesota, representatives of his estate announced on Thursday that a new album titled Timeless will be released on August 28.
"Timeless traces Prince's remarkable artistic evolution across nearly four decades, from his earliest studio recordings as a teenage prodigy in Minneapolis to one of his final recorded performances," they said in a statement.
Fans can already hear one of the songs from the project, 1995's Stone, which has been released as the album's first preview.
The remaining nine tracks span nearly Prince's entire career, covering material recorded between 1977 and 2016. Among the selections are 1991's With This Tear and 2007's The Guilty Ones.
"The collection showcases the extraordinary consistency, curiosity and creative ambition that defined his work throughout his life, offering fans a rare opportunity to hear previously unheard chapters of his creative journey," they continued.
Prince Celebration 2026 continues through Sunday and features appearances from artists including Chaka Khan and Miguel.
A public block party is also scheduled to take place in downtown Minneapolis on Saturday, where a choir will help lead the festivities.
"For the first time ever, downtown Minneapolis becomes a living tribute to Prince Rogers Nelson - where thousands come together, voices united, to celebrate the music and spirit that continues to define a city. This is more than a sing-along. This is a moment," a press release reads.
