Today (27 August), an early vocal run-through of Prince's "Forever In My Life" has been shared as the latest outing from the deluxe reissue of Sign O’ The Times.

Over the past few weeks, Prince's estate and Warner Records have been sharing previously unreleased tracks from Prince's Sign O' The Times sessions. There's 63 unreleased tracks set to appear on the super deluxe edition, and we've already heard "Witness 4 The Prosecution (Version 2)", "Witness 4 The Prosecution (Version 1)", "Cosmic Day" and "I Could Never Take The Place Of Your Man (1979 Version)".

Today (27 August), The Prince Estate has unveiled another of those unheard tracks, an early vocal run-through of "Forever In My Life".

Prince's ex-fiancée and singer/songwriter Susannah Melvoin says of the track, "He had been up all night and he came upstairs. It was like 7:00 in the morning and he grabbed my hand and said ‘follow me’, and so I followed him downstairs. The sun was coming through the stained-glass windows and he pressed play, and that song came on and I looked at him and I got teary-eyed. And that was it. He didn’t have to say anything."

The track shared today was recorded at Prince's Galpin Boulevard home studio on 8 August 1986.

"Forever In My Life (Early Vocal Run-Through)" is out now. Prince's super deluxe edition reissue of Sign O' The Times will be released 25 September, and is available to pre-order now.
