A compilation of Prince's previously unheard music will be released as one album soon. It will be available on Sept. 28.
Prince's estate will also be launching two websites called Prince2me and Discography. The former will pay tribute to the late singer who passed away on April 21, 2016. Discography, on the other hand, is for music nerds.
Troy Carter, an entertainment adviser, explained what the websites are for.
"We hired a company called Base Design to work with us on some ideas for the web platform and one of them was the Discography, where you can go down a rabbit hole for a couple of hours, and also Prince2me, which is a platform for fans to express themselves," said Carter.
Last week, Prince's estate dropped the unreleased recording "Nothing Compares 2 U." The track also served as the estate's first collaboration with Carter's company. Prince has tons of recordings that he managed to save but never released, and these songs will be part of the forthcoming album, Carter added.
Carter said that Prince recorded, rehearsed, and performed constantly when he was still alive. However, there are still a lot of unreleased works that were discovered in his vault. The materials were all recorded before digitization so they are in hard drives and tapes.
Prince's business plans were among the things found in his vault with the help of Michael Howe. These items include notes, music, demos, tape notes, and rehearsal videos. Carter said that he was pleased to get to know Prince better through the work he left behind.
Prince's Family Sues Walgreens
Two years after Prince died from an accidental drug overdose, his family decides to file a suit against Walgreens for allegedly dispensing narcotic prescription medication to Prince.
On April 15, 2016, Prince was hospitalized at Trinity Medical Center for an overdose. The investigation revealed that the singer was taking prescription medications like Vicodin, a drug containing fentanyl. Days later, the singer died.
The lawsuit also named Dr. Nicole Mancha, the physician who attended to Prince at the hospital. Prince told Dr. Mancha that he had taken two Percocet, but the physician thought he was lying.
"What happened to Prince is happening to families across America. The family wishes through its investigation to shed light on this epidemic and how to better the fight to save lives. If Prince's death helps save lives, then all was not lost," said the singer's legal team.
