Prince - Love… Thy Will Be Done (Official Audio)

About ‘Originals’:

The Prince Estate, in partnership with Warner Records, present Originals, a 15-track album featuring 14 previously unreleased recordings that illuminate the vital, behind-the-scenes role Prince played in other artists' careers. The tracks were selected collaboratively by Troy Carter, on behalf of The Prince Estate, and JAY-Z.

On June 21st 2019, Warner Records released this extraordinary body of work, sourced directly from Prince's vast archive of Vault recordings, via all download and streaming partners and physically on CD, while 180 gram 2LP and limited edition Deluxe CD+2LP formats will follow on July 19th.

By the mid-1980s, Prince was dominating the charts even as a writer/producer with songs he'd composed and recorded for others. In addition to releasing nine of his most commercially successful full-length albums, he also wrote and recorded endless reels of material for proteges The Time, Vanity 6, Sheila E., Apollonia 6, Jill Jones, the Family, and Mazarati. Occasionally, Prince's original demo recordings would be used as master takes on their albums, with only minor alterations to the instrumentation and a replacement of the vocal tracks. Other times, artists would rely on his demos to guide them through their own recording process, with Prince's initial take informing their final version of his song. The aggregate effect was a complete saturation and transformation of the pop music landscape, with Prince both leading and subverting mainstream culture.

Several of the iconic songs found on Originals were considerable hits for the artists who recorded them. Sheila E.'s "The Glamorous Life" reached #1 on the dance charts in 1984, while the enormous success of "Manic Monday" propelled the single and its accompanying album, The Bangles' Different Light, to the #2 spot on the pop charts. The Time's Ice Cream Castle, featuring the top 20 "Jungle Love", spent a whopping 57 weeks on the Billboard 200. And in 1991, Martika enjoyed international success with "Love... Thy Will Be Done", a top 10 hit in France, Australia, the UK and the USA.

Originals pulls back the curtain to reveal the origins of these familiar songs, in addition to deeper album cuts such as Vanity 6's "Make-Up," Jill Jones's "Baby, You're a Trip," and Kenny Rogers' "You're My Love." The album also features Prince's majestic original 1984 version of "Nothing Compares 2 U," released in 2018 as a standalone single.

[securitychannel]

One of the greatest song writers in the worlds modern history . May he rest in eternal peace.

That damned fentanyl robbed us of another musical genius, and a source of love and light in the world😢

[AlisonTaylor-tq]

I agree, a Light worker for sure. Angel of God now in every way.

[leokimvideo]

Greatest songwriter in history ...period

[samtongue]

How lucky were we, to be alive at the same time as Prince....

[Asher]

Being from Minnesota I am honored to claim him as one of us. However, like all of us, he was human and had his own battles. A genius though, indeed. A beautiful soul.

[ThomasAllan-uptd]

He kept his appointment with God. Even when there's no peace outside my window, there's peace inside.

[jomby]

One of the realest artists ever to do it. Prince was and is best one out there.

[bkeithphelps]

This was a prayer Martika had written that Prince saw & decided she should sing it as a song. He composed the music for it. If I had to guess, based on how IDENTICAL her version is to this, this is likely his demo to show her how he envisioned the song being sung over his music. Her version IS this same music track except hers has a single instrument added in after the line “We are all blessed & so wise to accept….” That’s the ONLY deviation from this track that her song had. So this was totally a collaboration effort - as brilliant as Prince was & genius as well, for this one it took her lyrics & his musical talent to make it come to fruition. And he did that for so many other artists ppl don’t even realize.

[heidireaves]

This song had me crying in joy. The man served his purpose. Let's trust we can all say the same.

[spinglasshydra]

Purple Angel your work was completed, so you had to leave us, but the impact of your life was felt everywhere on this planet. You also desired that everyone understood your love of the Cocteau Twins by selecting a bassline from "Fithy-Fithy Clown", which was perfect.
You proved that Hero's, also have their personal Hero's
