Prince To Release Solo Album By September; Previews First Single

After four years, Prince's solo album is finally slated to be released by September 30. Along with the release date was the preview of his single "Clouds."

The release date of Prince's solo album called "Art Official Age" was announced by 3rd Eye Girl, a funk 'n' roll band Prince is working with on a different album set to be released on the same day as his solo effort.

The tracklist for Prince's solo album was also released. The album will include thirteen original tracks, which varies in genre. One of the track is a ballad, another has an electro-funk vibe, and another is an "aggressive and menacing" rap song - a collaboration with Rita Ora.

The album's tracks are called "This Could Be Us," "Clouds," (which was released earlier and can be previewed via SoundCloud), "U Know," "Breakfast Can Wait," "What it Feels Like," "Affirmation I and II," "Way Back Home," "Funknroll," "Time," and "Affirmation III."

Prince's latest effort affirms the rock legend's staying power and relevance in the music industry, proving that he can withstand the test of time and can mesh well with what is new and now.

"Prince is one of just a handful of visionary artists who have truly reshaped and redefined modern music and culture," affirmed Cameron Strang, Warner Bros. Chairman. "For the past 35 years, he has never stopped evolving, challenging himself, reinventing his sound, and pushing boundaries. In true Prince fashion, he has just given us not one, but two extraordinary albums that express the incredible range and depth of his talent."

Prince's "Art Official Age" album was produced by the rock legend himself together with Joshua Welton.

Prince's latest musical effort (prior to his newest album) is touring Europe with 3rd Eye Girl. He also recorded a duet with Zooey Deschanel in March. The said track was used for the post-Super Bowl episode of Deschanel's comedy series "New Girl."
