Prince's 'With This Tear' Finally Sees Light
21 Apr
Summary
- Unreleased Prince song 'With This Tear' is out.
- The track was recorded in November 1991 at Paisley Park.
- A shelved album project containing unheard material is due in 2026.
A deeply personal recording from Prince's vault, 'With This Tear,' has been released ten years after his death. This intimate track, entirely crafted by Prince in November 1991 at Paisley Park, reveals a more reflective side of the artist.
The song was initially intended for Jevetta Steele and later offered to Céline Dion. While brief samples surfaced in the 1990s, Prince's original recording remained unreleased until now. The track has been meticulously mixed and mastered by Grammy-nominated producer Chris James.
This release heralds a broader initiative to unveil previously unheard material tied to a shelved album project, anticipated for release in 2026. 'With This Tear' was once considered for the proposed Diamonds & Love album in 2022.
Prince died on April 21, 2016, at his Chanhassen, Minnesota estate due to an accidental fentanyl overdose. The unveiling of 'With This Tear' serves as both a tribute and a preview of upcoming archival releases.
