Recorded in the spring of 2010 and then mysteriously abandoned by Prince before its release, the statement album Welcome 2 America documents Prince’s concerns, hopes, and visions for a shifting society, presciently foreshadowing an era of political division, disinformation, and a renewed fight for racial justice
The album features some of Prince’s only studio collaborations with the bassist Tal Wilkenfeld, drummer Chris Coleman, and engineer Jason Agel, with additional contributions from New Power Generation singers Shelby J, Liv Warfield, and Elisa Fiorillo and keyboardist Morris Hayes, who Prince also recruited to co-produce the album

This is an incredible album. Prince always had something important to say, and he knew how to say it. This vinyl is beautiful.

His Royal Badness At Work!
Finally, a full studio album from The Purple One's vault. This is a funky and soulful album with lyrics only His Royal Badness could deliver. Incredible to believe the lyrics and themes in these songs are relevant in today's American life even though they were written ten years ago. Vinyl sound is incredible and does contain a downlod card to receive mp3 files of the album. Beautiful packaging deserving of Prince's legacy.

waste of time
This isn't a Prince CD, it's just featuring Prince. There's a reason why he didn't release these tracks!

Clear exclusive vinyl sounds terrible.
I’m not sure if this clear vinyl is 180 gram…but, it sure has a lot of surface noise. I’ve returned two different copies. I’m going to try the standard black vinyl since I know it’s also 180 gram weight.

Fantastic
This cd is great and fits in what's happening now. I enjoyed every song. Prince was always progressive and this doesn't disappoint. I hope they release more music over time. RIP Prince

His Royal Badness has done it again.
Yet another great release from The Vault. There’s something on this record for everybody. I personally have been grooving to “Born 2 Die” so much you’d think I’d burn out the vinyl.

THANK U 4 WELCOMING ME 2 THE XPERIENCE
This is a gift. This is not any random Prince album, this was a beautifully curated album and well put together. The more I play these songs, the more I become fascinated by each and every effort made to create a vibe and experience. I applaud everyone that was a part of this project. Amazed. Deserves an award as well.

Something here for most Prince Fans
Originally planned as a follow up his ‘20Ten’ project, Prince’s 'Welcome 2 America' is a very good album. Featuring 12 tracks playing in less than a hour. Thick clear/silver colored vinyl is cool….Almost looks platinum. Unlike some of Prince's other albums (Rave un2 for example), this isn't an overblown affair. Music is spread across 3 vinyl sides, and the free Digital Download was very nice. It's a very good project that seems to have something for everyone. Definitely a nice addition to the collection.
