  • Prince & 3RDEYEGIRL (February 22, 2013) Live Out Loud - Digital Single

    A fierce, guitar‑driven 3RDEYEGIRL anthem marking Prince’s explosive return to raw, live‑band energy RELEASE DETAILS Date: February 22, 2013 Format: Digital Single Country: Worldwide (via 3rdEyeGirl.com) Track: “Live Out Loud” THE STORY Released on February 22, 2013 via 3rdEyeGirl.com, “Live Out Loud” was the first official single from Prince’s new power-trio project 3RDEYEGIRL. Lead vocals are performed by Hannah Ford, Donna Grantis, and Ida Nielsen, with lyrics by Liv Warfield and music composed by Prince (who also provides background vocals). The track had earlier surfaced via fan streams and Minnesota radio before Prince made it officially available for download. CONTEXT & NOTES “Live Out Loud” emerged during the early formation of 3RDEYEGIRL in late 2012/early 2013. It was teased via social media and a promotional video still, but the full video was never officially released. Although the song shares its name with the 2013 Live Out Loud Tour, it was never performed live. The release marked Prince’s shift toward a raw, guitar-driven sound and a more direct, DIY digital rollout strategy.

  • Prince (November 25, 2013) Da Bourgeoisie - Digital Single

    A sharp, funky protest groove leaked, reclaimed, and re‑released with horns in true late‑era Prince fashion RELEASE DETAILS Date: November 25, 2013 Catalogue: NPGM070 Format: Digital Single (WAV) Country: Worldwide (via 3rdeyetunes.com) Track: “Da Bourgeoisie” – 3:23 (with added horns) THE STORY Released on November 25, 2013 via 3rdeyetunes.com, “Da Bourgeoisie” followed a leak of a horn-less version one week earlier. Prince responded by issuing an official version with added horns, transforming the track into a fuller, more defiant funk statement. Written, produced, and performed by Prince with drums by Hannah Ford, it stands as a snapshot of the early 3RDEYEGIRL era — direct, unfiltered, and unconcerned with commercial expectations. CONTEXT & NOTES The track emerged during the early 3RDEYEGIRL period, reflecting Prince’s playful yet pointed late-era creativity. The leak-and-response release pattern highlighted Prince’s evolving relationship with digital distribution and fan communities. While not tied to a larger album project at the time, it fits comfortably within the raw, live-band energy of 2013–2014.

  • Prince & 3rdEyeGirl (February 3, 2014) Pretzelbodylogic - Digital Single

    A raw, riff‑driven shockwave announcing the arrival of Prince’s power‑trio era ELEASE DETAILS Date: February 3, 2014 Format: Digital Single Country: Worldwide Track: “Pretzelbodylogic” – 3:28 THE STORY Released on February 3, 2014 as the second advance single from Plectrumelectrum, “Pretzelbodylogic” introduced Prince & 3rdEyeGirl’s full rock sound to the world. Following the 2013 teaser “Fixurlifeup,” this track dropped during the high-energy HIT AND RUN UK club tour, where Prince, Donna Grantis, Ida Nielsen, and Hannah Ford Welton debuted new material in intimate, unannounced shows. A 29-second teaser had appeared on the 3rdEyeGirl YouTube channel a week earlier. CONTEXT & NOTES “Pretzelbodylogic” captured the live-band ethos of the Plectrumelectrum sessions — heavy guitars, tight grooves, and raw analog immediacy. It marked Prince’s return to a power-trio format and his embrace of surprise club performances. The single helped build anticipation for the album, which was eventually released alongside Art Official Age in September 2014.

  • Heroine December feat. Prince (February 14, 2014) Balloon - Digital Single

    Heroine’s shimmering pop single, subtly reshaped by Prince through chord rewrites and arrangement tweaks. RELEASE DETAILS Date: February 14, 2014 Format: Digital Single Country: Worldwide Track: “Balloon” THE STORY Released on February 14, 2014, “Balloon” is a digital single by Heroine December (the duo of Maya and Nandy McClean). Prince contributed rearrangement, including chord rewrites and transitional tweaks during the recording process. The track also features Sheila E. on congas, believed to be one of her final contributions to a Prince-associated studio recording. CONTEXT & NOTES “Balloon” reflects Prince’s ongoing mentorship of the McClean twins, who had been part of his live shows and orbit since the mid-2000s. Maya McClean later confirmed in 2021 that Prince helped rewrite sections of the song. The release highlights Prince’s behind-the-scenes creative involvement during the early 2010s, supporting artists in his extended musical family.

  • Prince feat. Zooey Deschanel (March 17, 2014) Fallinlove2nite - Digital Single

    A sparkling, synth‑pop burst from Prince’s late‑period renaissance, pairing him with Zooey Deschanel for a standalone digital single that later became retroactively tied to HITnRUN Phase One. RELEASE DETAILS Date: March 17, 2014 Format: Digital Single Country: Worldwide Track: “Fallinlove2nite” (feat. Zooey Deschanel) – 3:18 THE STORY Released digitally on March 17, 2014, “Fallinlove2nite” was promoted as a standalone Prince single and credited to Prince feat. Zooey Deschanel — only the second time in his career he shared a commercial single credit with another artist outside his own band. The track premiered during Prince’s guest appearance on New Girl (February 2, 2014), then rolled out across radio, streaming, and digital storefronts. A version without Zooey Deschanel’s vocals later appeared on HITnRUN Phase One (2015), making this release the only place to obtain the duet version. CONTEXT & NOTES The song emerged from Prince’s collaboration with the TV series New Girl. Joshua Welton handled production (uncredited), marking one of the earliest examples of his work with Prince. The single’s release strategy reflected Prince’s embrace of digital distribution during the 3rdEyeGirl era — fast, direct, and platform‑wide. The duet version with Zooey Deschanel remains unique to this release, making it a key entry for collectors. TRACK LIST Digital Single Fallinlove2nite (feat.

  • Prince (April 18, 2014) The Breakdown - Digital Single

    A standalone digital‑era release marking Prince’s first newly issued track following the announcement of his renewed partnership with Warner Bros. Records. RELEASE DETAILS Date: April 18, 2014 (USA) / April 23–25, 2014 (worldwide rollout) Format: Digital Single Country: United States (initial), Worldwide Track: “The Breakdown” – 4:04 THE STORY Released on April 18, 2014 in the USA (and shortly after worldwide), “The Breakdown” was Prince’s first new single following the announcement of his renewed partnership with Warner Bros. Records. A slow-burn, emotional ballad showcasing Prince’s late-period vocal control and orchestral production style, the track was initially available via iTunes and Spotify in the US before expanding to other platforms and territories. CONTEXT & NOTES The staggered digital rollout reflected the platform-by-platform licensing of the mid-2010s. Although released as a standalone single, “The Breakdown” was later included on the album Art Official Age (September 30, 2014), effectively serving as its second single after “Breakfast Can Wait.” The song had been circulating in live performances since early 2013, making the 2014 digital release a long-anticipated moment for fans.

  • Prince – Baltimore (Initial SoundCloud Single) May 9 2015

    Prince3EG SoundCloud release of Baltimore, Recording Details Initial Recording: 30 April 2015, Paisley Park Studios, Chanhassen, Minnesota Live Cut: 29 April 2015, Paisley Park Soundstage (Prince & 3rdEyeGirl with Joshua Welton) Studio A Version: Prince solo, all instruments Mixing Engineer: Dylan Dreslow Additional Vocals: Eryn Allen Kane Production: Prince / Joshua Welton Release Context The SoundCloud stream was accompanied by a detailed statement describing the song’s creation and intent, emphasizing unity and social awareness. Prince’s message urged listeners to “fight the good fight and confront inhumanity on every level.” The following day, the Prince3EG Twitter account teased a new track titled “Free Urself”, linking to Baltimore and hinting at a shared project — though Free Urself was ultimately not included on Hitnrun Phase Two. Prince later discussed streaming plans with Jay‑Z and Tidal, reflecting his growing interest in artist‑controlled digital distribution. Format: Digital Stream (Prince3EG SoundCloud) Label: NPG Records / 3EG Country: USA Release Date: 9 May 2015 Genre: Soul • Pop • Funk Style: Protest Song • Contemporary Soul Overview On 9 May 2015, Prince released the initial version of “Baltimore” via a newly created Prince3EG SoundCloud account. The stream appeared one day before his Rally 4 Peace concert in Baltimore, where the song received its live debut. Recorded at Paisley Park Studios, the track was written and produced in direct response to the death of Freddie Gray and the ensuing unrest in Baltimore. Prince and 3rdEyeGirl, with Joshua Welton, first recorded a live take on 29 April 2015 at the Paisley Park soundstage. Prince then re‑recorded the song alone in Studio A the same night, playing all instruments himself. The version streamed on SoundCloud was mixed by Dylan Dreslow after Eryn Allen Kane added vocals in early May. A revised version with orchestral and horn overdubs was later issued as the digital single “Baltimore”, identical to the version that appeared on Hitnrun Phase Two. Legacy & Significance First public release from the Hitnrun Phase Two sessions Written in response to the Freddie Gray tragedy Served as the anthem for Rally 4 Peace (10 May 2015) Demonstrated Prince’s continued activism and rapid creative response Early use of Prince3EG SoundCloud / Twitter as direct‑to‑fan platforms Sources Prince Vault (recording dates, release chronology, production credits) MyFoxTwinCities interview (Prince statement during recording) Prince3EG SoundCloud and Twitter posts (May 2015) Dylan Dreslow mix notes and Eryn Allen Kane session accounts artwork, photographs, and original text excerpts remain the property of their respective copyright holders.

A vocal version featuring Adrian Crutchfield on vocoder replaced the instrumental the following day. CONTEXT & NOTES “Ruff Enuff” had earlier origins in October 2015 when Prince performed a lyrical version live at Paisley Park. The rapid studio-to-digital turnaround highlights Prince’s late-career spontaneity. The track is part of the Black Is The New Black sessions, with “Free Urself” as a related piece. This was one of the final publicly discussed studio sessions of Prince’s life. TRACK LIST Digital Single Ruff Enuff (Instrumental Version) – January 11 release Ruff Enuff (Vocal Version feat.

    A stark, intimate live recording from Prince’s final full concert — performed solo at the piano during the Piano & A Microphone Tour RELEASE DETAILS Date: April 18, 2016 Format: Digital Single (Tidal exclusive) Country: Worldwide Track: “Black Sweat (Live Piano Version)” – 4:04 THE STORY Released on April 18, 2016 as the Tidal “Purple Pick of the Week,” “Black Sweat (Live Piano Version)” presents a previously unreleased solo piano performance recorded at Prince’s final full concert at the Fox Theatre in Atlanta on April 14, 2016. This stripped-back rendition reframes the 2006 3121 track as an emotionally raw, intimate moment, highlighting Prince’s vocal nuance and piano playing in its most vulnerable form. CONTEXT & NOTES This release holds deep historical significance as the final official piece of music issued during Prince’s lifetime — just three days before his passing on April 21, 2016.

The track was distributed exclusively via Tidal and was accompanied by artwork featuring Edward G. Robinson, referenced in the performance.
