30 years on from Purple Rain and Prince is as prolific as ever. So much so that he’s just inked a new licensing deal with Warner Bros.

As USA Today report, the new deal will allow Prince to reissue Purple Rain for a special digitally-remastered 30 year anniversary edition. As well as this, a new LP is said to be coming too.

“A brand-new studio album is on the way and both Warner Bros. Records and Eye are quite pleased with the results of the negotiations and look forward to a fruitful working relationship,” a press release reads.

The upcoming record is not yet titled but will be Prince’s first since 2010.

Meanwhile, Prince was recently over in the UK, playing a variety of shows across London.
