Yes. The unreleased music session is tomorrow. Spicer mentioned that there a "couple of tracks" played from Timeless. Calabama was played for VIPs last year. Heard rumors about what the other material would be, but properly setting expectations for myself.

SHOW YOUR LOVE! A Happy Birthday to the legendary Jimmy Jam born on this day in 1959. From Flyte Tyme to The Time to producer extraordinaire that has laid hands on iconic artists like Janet Jackson to Sounds of Blackness and beyond. Put some respect on the name. Happy Birthday.

Obviously there is a lot to cover about the Prince Celebration. Plenty of pieces being dripped out from other folks. Ill cover it all on Tuesday night. A full report from the apparent "sellout" section.

June 4, 2026 – Today, The Prince Estate announces the release of Timeless, a new posthumous Prince album, in partnership with Legacy Recordings, arriving August 28, 2026. Featuring 10 rare and previously unreleased recordings from Prince's legendary Vault, Timeless is the first Prince release ever curated to span every major era of his career, bringing together recordings created between 1977 and 2016 in a sweeping portrait of one of music's most innovative and influential artists. Available now for pre-order and pre-save, Timeless traces Prince's remarkable artistic evolution across nearly four decades, from his earliest studio recordings as a teenage prodigy in Minneapolis to one of his final recorded performances. The collection showcases the extraordinary consistency, curiosity, and creative ambition that defined his work throughout his life, offering fans a rare opportunity to hear previously unheard chapters of his creative journey. The announcement arrives alongside the release of new single "Stone," a previously unreleased recording from spring 1995 written by Sandra St. Victor, Tom Hammer, and Jules Van Even. Fans will get their first opportunity to experience Timeless during Prince Celebration 2026, taking place June 3–7, 2026 across Paisley Park and downtown Minneapolis. Serving as the official launch platform for the project, this year's Celebration will feature exclusive listening sessions, archival presentations, and conversations with Prince collaborators, offering unprecedented insight into the newly unveiled Vault recordings and the stories behind them. Highlights include a special event at The Armory in Minneapolis on Friday, June 5, featuring appearances from NPG, The Revolution's Bobby Z and Lisa Coleman, and more, offering rare firsthand perspectives on Prince's enduring creative legacy. For the latest information on ticketing and programming, please visit: paisleypark.com/celebration2… As fans from around the world gather for the 10th anniversary year of Prince Celebration, Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey has officially proclaimed June 1–7, 2026, “Prince Celebration Week” in Minneapolis, recognizing Prince’s immeasurable impact on the city’s culture, identity and global legacy. In honor of Prince Celebration Week, the Minneapolis skyline will be illuminated in purple on June 6, creating a citywide tribute to Prince’s enduring influence and celebrating the artist who helped define Minneapolis on the world stage. Available across all major streaming platforms, Timeless will also be released in multiple physical configurations, including a D2C-exclusive limited-edition Purple Marble Vinyl, standard black vinyl, and CD. In conjunction with the album announcement, fans can also access exclusive retail offerings and limited-edition Timeless merchandise through Paisley Park and Prince.com, including collectible items created specifically for Prince Celebration 2026. Earlier this year, The Prince Estate previewed Timeless with the release of "With This Tear" on April 2, commemorating the tenth anniversary of Prince's passing. Originally recorded at Paisley Park in November 1991, the song stands as a testament to Prince's singular artistry—he produced, arranged, composed, and performed every instrument heard on the recording. Lauded by CBS News and more, Rolling Stone hailed it as "deeply personal," while Billboard praised its "stripped-back interpretation," highlighting Prince's vocal performance and piano arrangement.

SHOW YOUR LOVE! Born on this day, June 1, 1960, The Baddest, Mr. Jesse Johnson. While widely known as the guitarist extraordinaire of Morris Day and The Time, his solo albums are the stuff of legend. Working with Prince helped to solidify his notoriety and launch him into the forefront of greatness. His blistering performances created standout moments across all of The Time albums, as well as his guest appearances and production contributions to projects like Wendy and Lisa, Tamara and the Seen, Da Krash, and many others. And his own hits still stand the test of time with funkafied greats like Can You Help Me, Be Your Man, Crazay (with the late Sly Stone), Baby Let's Kiss, and more. Funkatopia has been blessed enough to welcome him to the show on 3 separate occasions. The last being what he announced would be his final interview (funkatopia.com/funk-news/jes…). Which we certainly hope isn't true, because we can't get enough stories from the maestro. Happy birthday Jesse!
