was made available exclusively on the Tidal streaming service, for streaming and purchase, serving as a follow-up to his previous album, Hit n Run Phase One.
Prince announced on Twitter that a physical CD would be distributed during a weekend of shows at Paisley Park in January 2016. The CD was handed out to attendees of the Australian and New Zealand leg of the Piano & a Microphone Tour. The album ultimately received a worldwide CD release on May 6, 2016, through Universal Music Group, just over two weeks following his death.
The album features the song "Baltimore," dedicated to the memory of Freddie Gray's death. It has a more organic sound compared to the recent Art Official Age, with Booker T. Jones handling engineering duties and a substantial brass section (the "NPG Hornz") comprising five saxophonists, four trumpets, and two trombones.
