Five years after Prince’s death a new album recorded in 2010, ‘Welcome 2 America’ will be released on July 30.
According to the news release, ‘Welcome 2 America documents Prince’s concerns, hopes, and visions for a shifting society, presciently foreshadowing an era of political division, misinformation, and a renewed fight for racial justice. The album features some of Prince’s only studio collaborations with bassist Tal Wilkenfeld, drummer Chris Coleman, and engineer Jason Agel, with additional contributions from New Power Generation singers Shelby J, Liv Warfield, and Elisa Fiorillo and keyboardist Morris Hayes, who Prince also recruited to co-produce the album.’
The Deluxe Edition of Welcome 2 America combines the 2LP and CD versions of the album with a never-before-released Blu-ray of Prince’s full April 28, 2011 performance at The Forum and is presented in 1080p with stereo, 5.1 surrounds, and Dolby Atmos audio.
