Unreleased Prince music releasing Friday

To honour the one year anniversary of Prince's death, a six-song EP of previously unreleased material called “Deliverance” will be released on Friday. The title track is available now on iTunes and Apple Music.

The collection comprises undiscovered studio recordings from 2006–2008 and will be released via Rogue Music Alliance. The set is also now available for pre-order on iTunes, Google Play and Amazon and a physical version will be released June 2.

Among the EP's tracks is a four-movement medley of “I Am”, “Touch Me”, “Sunrise Sunset” and “No One Else”. The songs were written and recorded while Prince was an independent artiste, using them as an avenue for protest against what he saw as injustice in the music industry.

According to a press release, the majority of all sales of Deliverance will benefit Prince's estate.

Prince co-wrote and co-produced the songs with his mixing and recording engineer from 2004–2009, Ian Boxill. Boxill spent the past year after Prince's passing completing the compositions and arrangements, finishing the production and mixing the songs.
