Released as a digital AAC single (256 kbps) exclusively on iTunes Canada on November 23, 2011, Extraloveable marked the long‑awaited public debut of one of Prince’s most famous unreleased tracks. Originally recorded in 1982 but shelved due to controversial lyrical content, the song was completely re‑recorded in 2011 and issued as a standalone digital release to promote the Welcome 2 Canada Tour, which began two days later.

On Jul 15, 2011, a newly recorded acoustic rehearsal version of Guitar by Prince and Andy Allo was streamed on Allo’s Facebook page. The track features Prince giving musical direction to Allo, with the meta‑data crediting the artist as Prince/Allo and listing an unknown album title, The L/C. The embedded artwork also credits Prince/Allo, showing Prince lifting Allo’s guitar. BACKGROUND Guitar is the second track from Prince’s 32nd album Planet Earth. A week before the album’s

This entry documents the first public appearance of the newly recorded jazz version of In A Large Room With No Light, streamed on the Montreux Jazz Festival website on July 15, 2009. Although the recording was new, the composition itself dated back 23 years, originating from Prince’s prolific 1986 period. The stream coincided with Prince’s two Montreux shows scheduled three days later, offering fans a rare glimpse into a long‑shelved track revived in a fresh, improvisational

F.U.N.K. was released worldwide on November 20, 2007, as a digital AAC single on NPG Records, marking one of Prince’s boldest statements of the digital era. Originally streamed and offered as a free download under the title PFUnk on PrinceFansUnited.com, the track was created in direct response to fan‑site criticism following Prince’s legal actions against uno

Presented as the site’s second “Jam of the Week,” this alternate version of Love — originally the sixth track on the 2006 album 3121 — offered fans a rare glimpse into the song’s early, intimate form. Unlike the album’s full‑band, horn‑driven production, this acoustic take featured Prince alone with guitar and subtle overdubs, revealing the song’s spiritual core and lyrical vulnerability. Released during the Planet Earth promotional period, the track highlighted Prince’s evol

The song "Guitar" from the upcoming Planet Earth album was made available for free download through Verizon Wireless' Song ID.

The original version of Guitar was released on February 2, 2007, as a $1.99 MP3 download exclusively through Prince’s website 3121.com, marking one of his earliest direct‑to‑fan digital singles. Arriving ahead of the Planet Earth album, the track showcased Prince’s renewed focus on rock‑funk fusion, built around a playful hook (“I love you, baby — but not like I love my guitar”) and a bright, punchy production style. This early 2007 version differs from the later album mix, m

Originally approached to license Kiss for the movie, Prince instead wrote The Song Of The Heart in a single week, delivering a new original composition that went on to win the Golden Globe for Best Original Song and earn a Grammy nomination for Best Song Written for Visual Media.

The single first appeared as a digital download on February 21, 2006, tied to the “Purple Ticket” promotion: each purchase entered fans into a contest to win entry to a private Prince performance at 3121 (Private Residence), Los Angeles, held in the early hours of May 6, 2006.

Released on 21 February 2006 as a digital‑only single via iTunes, Black Sweat marked one of Prince’s earliest major digital‑first releases. Each purchase of the track automatically entered fans into the purple ticket sweepstakes, a promotional campaign tied to the 3121 album era. Winners received exclusive access to Prince’s private performances and events — a modern twist on the golden‑ticket mythos.

The first glimpse of the 3121 era — a romantic, cinematic single released before the album was even announced.

The track first appeared digitally on December 13, 2005 through the NPG Music Club as both an audio and video download, a date written as 12/13 in the US, which playfully mirrors “3121” when reversed. A second CD release followed on February 14, 2006. Unusually for a commercial Prince single, the CD contained only one track with no B‑side, remix, or alternate version.

Initially exclusive to NPG Music Club members, it later received a wider commercial digital release. The accompanying music video — directed by Salma Hayek and starring Mía Maestro — amplified the song’s romantic, cinematic tone. Te Amo Corazón became a notable international success, charting across Europe and North America, and marked the beginning of Prince’s 2006 return to mainstream prominence.

The track was paired with Brand New Orleans, initially as a free stream, with both songs created to raise funds for the Hurricane Katrina Relief Fund. Two days later, on September 7, the NPG Music Club expanded the offering by adding You Will Be Moved — a Prince‑written, Mavis Staples‑performed gospel ballad — available for purchase alongside the original tracks. On October 25, 2005, the two Prince recordings were issued as a physical CD single in the United States, extending

Released as the second single from Musicology, Cinnamon Girl arrived in late 2004 as one of Prince’s most politically charged works of the 2000s. The single was issued in multiple formats across the US, UK, and Europe beginning September 28 (US) and November 8, 2004 (UK/EU).
