Unreleased Ballad ‘With This Tear’ from Prince’s Vault Unveiled

vision for equality: “When I was younger, I always said that one day I would play all types of music, and not be judged for the colour of my skin, but the quality of my work. Hopefully that will continue.”The song, recorded in November 1991, showcases Prince’s incredible talent as he handled every aspect of the production, arrangement, composition, and played all instruments himself. Despite not initially intending for it to be his own release, the ballad was first offered to Jevetta Steele before being given to Céline Dion for her self-titled album in 1992. Although a brief sample of Prince’s version was found on a Carmen Electra album a year later, the original recording remained unheard by the public until now. Love Music? Get your daily dose of metal, rock, indie, pop, and everything else in between. To ensure that the release meets the high standards Prince himself would have demanded, a fresh mix and master has been done by Grammy-nominated producer Chris James, who has collaborated with Prince on previous albums. This signifies the beginning of a larger project to release previously unheard material from a shelved album project later this year. This release not only honors the artist’s legacy but also allows fans to experience new and unheard work from one of music’s greatest talents.
