Prince 4ever is the sixth compilation album of Prince's Warner Bros. studio work, and the first official posthumous release, announced six months to the day after Prince's death, and planned for release seven months after, in November 2016 (more than ten years after the previous compilation album, Ultimate).

It comprises only Warner Bros.-era recordings under the name Prince from 14 studio albums, released originally between 1978 and 1993, as well as the standalone single track Gotta Stop (Messin' About) and two songs which previously debuted on The Hits 1 and The Hits 2 (Nothing Compares 2 U and Peach respectively). The compilation includes one previously-unreleased track, Moonbeam Levels.

Exact details of which version of each track are not yet known, and will be added to this page as they become known.

Of the 40 tracks on the compilation, Take Me With U, Paisley Park, Batdance, Mountains, Girls & Boys, Glam Slam and the previously-unreleased Moonbeam Levels had not appeared on a previous studio compilation album in any form.

Promotion

A press release for the compilation (also announcing a remastered deluxe version of Purple Rain for early 2017) was put out on 21 October 2016, six months to the day after Prince's death. More promotion is expected, and information will be added here as it becomes available.

Additional Information
Promotion (at time of release) Trivia
  • While Prince had released a track titled 4ever on his 2009 album Lotusflow3r, it was likely never considered for inclusion on this compilation as the album was not released on Warner Bros. and was released a long time after the period of work that is included here.
