Coming on June 21st will be the latest posthumous Prince release, titled Originals. Rolling Stone reported the 15-track collection “comprises songs from Prince’s ‘Vault’ recordings, which were selected by Troy Carter on behalf of the late singer’s estate alongside Jay-Z. The set hails from recordings the artist made from 1981 through 1991 that he primarily composed and wrote for others, many of which became hits, such as Sheila E.‘s ‘The Glamorous Life’ and the Bangles’ ‘Manic Monday.'”
