Recorded in the spring of 2010 and then mysteriously abandoned by Prince before its release, the statement album documents Prince's concerns, hopes, and visions for a shifting society, presciently foreshadowing an era of political division, disinformation, and a renewed fight for racial justice.

Along with 3RDEYEGIRL, Prince creates a classic band record. Many of the tracks featured here made their debut during their Hit & Run tours in the U.K., which featured incendiary performances in a series of historic venues.

Prince returns with a contemporary concoction of soul, R&B, and funk with immediate and prominent melodies. Prince's vocals are rich and solid, taking full advantage of his vocal range with decidedly seductive lyrics.
