After his public fallout with Warner Bros. records, Prince has reconnected with his former record label Warner Brothers to announce their new partnership.
Under their agreement, Warner Bros. will release unheard and digitally remastered tracks for the music icon’s deluxe edition of his “Purple Rain” soundtrack, which turns 30 this year.
Prince also promises a new album in the future. “A brand-new studio album is on the way and both Warner Bros. Records and Eye are quite pleased with the results of the negotiations and look forward to a fruitful working relationship,” said Prince in a press release.
“Everyone at Warner Bros. Records is delighted to be working with Prince once again: he is one of the world’s biggest stars and a truly unique talent” Warner Bros. Chairman and CEO Cameron Strang said in a statement. “We are also very excited about the release of new and remastered music from one of his greatest masterpieces.”
A release date has not been set for the “Purple Rain” rerelease.
