Welcome 2 America is an unreleased album by Prince, tentatively planned for release in 2011, likely as a follow-up to 20Ten. Not many details about the project are known

Track listing
cd (assumed)

Nine tracks are known to have been slated for the project at some point, although there is no exact tracklist or sequence known. In alphabetical order these tracks are:

Black Muse and Cause And Effect are two more tracks assumed to have been recorded around the same time but it’s unclear if they were at any point slated for inclusion on the album.

1000 Light-years Away with background vocals by Andy Allo was a song that was ultimately released as the second part of Black Muse on Hitnrun Phase Two. The last 3:05 minutes are the whole of the song 1000 Light-years Away as slated for the Welcome 2 America album.

The version of When She Comes slated for release on this project was more stripped down than the version ultimately released on Hitnrun Phase Two with just piano and not the accordion on the released version.

Check The Record, played live once in 2013 was described as sounding like an outtake from Rave Un2 The Joy Fantastic, with Prince boasting about how many songs he had. It mentions Sheryl Crow’s song ‘Favorite Mistake’ amongst others.

Stand Up And B Strong, is a duet with Elisa Dease. The song was mentioned in an interview in the July, 2010, issue of Ebony Magazine.

The studio version of Welcome 2 America, played as an interpolation in Dreamer on the Welcome 2 America Tour featured background singers including Shelby J., Liv Warfield and Elisa Dease.

Hot Summer was the same versions as streamed in 2010.
