Unreleased 1986 Prince album Camille to be unveiled by Third Man Records

An unreleased Prince album from 1986, which was recorded under his alter-ego Camille, will be shared via Third Man Records.

Camille was written and recorded by Prince, but scrapped soon after the test pressings came out. Despite not releasing it as a full body, several of the songs found their way onto 1987's Sign O' The Times and the subsequent 2020 super deluxe edition of the same project.

Third Man Records is determined to bring the project to the world. "We're finally going to put it out," said label co-founder Ben Blackwell in a new interview with Mojo. "Princes' people agreed, it was almost too easy."

Though all eight tracks exist somewhere in the public sphere, they are often disparate and hard to find online. This will be the first time Camille will be released as a complete package.

The effort follows 2020's Welcome 2 America, which was finally issued a decade after its conception in 2010. Upon its completion, Prince said of the album; "The world is fraught with misin4mation. George Orwell’s vision of the future is here. We need 2 remain steadfast in faith in the trying times ahead."

The project is set to be released under the name Camille, opposed to Prince, to pay homage to who he was at the time of its creation.

The eight tracks set to be featured on Camille are:

‘Rebirth Of The Flesh’
‘Housequake’
‘Strange Relationship’
‘Feel U Up’
‘Shockadelica’
‘Good Love’
‘If I Was Your Girlfriend’
‘Rockhard In A Funky Place’
