Prince’s Estate Sets Timeless Release for Aug. 28, Pairing Rare Recordings With a New Single for Longtime Fans
MINNEAPOLIS, MN — A new Prince collection titled Timeless is coming this summer, with the estate describing it as a set of rare and previously unreleased recordings that chart the late artist’s musical evolution.
The project is scheduled for release on Aug. 28, and the official Prince Instagram account said it will include 10 tracks from 1977 through 2016. A newly unveiled song called “Stone” is already available.
What Timeless brings to the catalog
According to the announcement, the collection is designed as a first-of-its-kind project covering songs from each decade of Prince’s life. For fans, that means the release is being framed not just as a compilation, but as a guided look at how his sound developed over time.
Prince remains one of the most influential figures in pop, funk and R&B, and archival releases from his vault continue to draw attention because of the sheer volume of material associated with his career. Timeless appears intended to widen that legacy with recordings that had not previously been available to the public.
Minneapolis prepares for a tribute on the anniversary of his death
The release news comes as Minneapolis prepares for a concert marking the 10th anniversary of Prince’s death. The event is set for Friday and will feature a roster that includes Morris Day, Miguel, Tevin Campbell, Bilal, Kat Graham, Sounds of Blackness and Kris Kollins.
The timing adds extra weight for fans in Prince’s hometown, where his influence still shapes music culture and public memory. The tribute and the new collection together create a moment focused on both remembrance and rediscovery.
A milestone date for fans and the estate
Prince would have turned 67 on Sunday. He died on April 21, 2016, from an accidental fentanyl overdose, a loss that continues to mark music headlines whenever new archival material surfaces.
For listeners, the August release offers another chance to revisit his catalog through songs that span nearly 40 years. With Stone already out and the full set on the calendar, the rollout gives fans a fresh reason to engage with one of the most closely watched archives in popular music.
