Moved by the unrest in Baltimore in the wake of Freddie Gray’s death at the hands of the police, Prince has recorded a song critical of the killing of young African-American men, a publicist for the artist said Thursday to CNN.
It is a tribute to the people of Baltimore and #BaltimoreUprising, but will also address political and social issues throughout the country. Prince has done so before, most notably with 1987’s top-three single “Sign O’ The Times.”
Prince’s Paisley Park Studios has not yet announced a release date.
