There will be an upcoming posthumous album by Prince, set to be released in the next week on September 21, 2018 titled Piano and Microphone 1983. The album itself was made using a minimalistic approach in terms of instruments. According to Stereogum, Prince only used his own voice and a microphone, and the piano to make every track on the album.
Prince had a ‘Vault’ located at Paisley Park, where the music had been recorded once at his home studio in Chanhassen Minnesota.
The song’s lyrics read simply in a repetitive nature: “Mama, mama, what’s this strange, strange, Mama Why the butterflies?” It seems like the lyrics and song itself may have been more personal and a metaphor to the singer’s personal life.
The album seems to be more experimental and less structured than other works by Prince, but will still be able to satisfy listeners in a positive way and continue the legacy he had already made during his lifetime.
