Ten Years Without Prince


Ten Years Without Prince

Prince was one of the greatest musicians who ever lived. His music could move your body, break your heart, and stretch your mind, sometimes in the same song. You can hear it across his catalog, but you can see it most clearly in moments like his Rock and Roll Hall of Fame performance on “While My Guitar Gently Weeps,” when he reminded the entire world that there are gifted musicians, and then there was Prince.

“With This Tear” is a previously unreleased studio recording from Prince’s legendary vault. Recorded in November 1991 at Paisley Park, the track has been newly mixed and mastered by GRAMMY-nominated engineer/producer Chris James (Frank Ocean, Miguel, Janelle Monáe), a longtime Prince collaborator (HITnRUN Phase Two, Art Official Age, Plectrumelectrum), and features Prince producing, arranging, composing, and performing all instrumentation. Shortly after its creation, Prince offered the song to Céline Dion, who recorded her own version in 1992. This track is the beginning of several unreleased Prince recordings scheduled for release this year, as part of a never-before-released Prince album project.
