The late musician’s estate has partnered with the Sony label Legacy Recordings to release the album on 30 July 2021. Welcome 2 America was recorded in 2010 and was due to be released the following year. Prince had even embarked on a supporting tour, but the record was never released. It will now launch on 30 July 2021 via Legacy Recordings.
At the time, Prince described how the record discusses race relations, political division and social justice. He said in a statement: “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.”
In addition to the digital release, a deluxe boxset version of the album will feature the regular 12-track album on vinyl and CD, alongside a previously unreleased full-length concert film from Prince’s show at The Forum in Inglewood, California on 28, April 2011.
