After announcing the release dates of not just one but two new albums this year (Art Official Age and Plectrum Electrum), Prince has shared one of his new songs. "Clouds" will be included on Art Official Age, and though that album, like many of Prince's classics, is a largely solo effort, this new song features British soul singer Lianna La Havas on vocals. The song isn't available to be shared, but you can listen to it right now over at Okay Player.
"Clouds" is the third single to be shared from Art Official Age, following "Breakfast Can Wait" and "The Breakdown." He has also shared three singles from Plectrum Electrum: "Screwdriver," "Fixurlifeup," and "Pretzelbodylogic." Both albums are set for release on Sept. 29 through Warner Bros. Records
"Prince is one of just a handful of visionary artists who have truly reshaped and redefined modern music and culture," said Warner Bros. Chairman and CEO Cameron Strang in a statement. "For the past 35 years, he has never stopped evolving, challenging himself, reinventing his sound, and pushing boundaries. In true Prince fashion, he has just given us not one, but two extraordinary albums that express the incredible range and depth of his talent."
