Prince Estate Releases Unheard Version of ‘With This Tear’
The piano-led ballad was first recorded in 1991 and newly mixed by Chris James, offering Prince’s original take on a song later given to Celine Dion.
- Marking the 10th anniversary of his death, the Prince Estate released a previously unheard recording of "With This Tear," a piano-led ballad Prince recorded at Paisley Park in 1991.
- Celine Dion originally recorded the song for her 1992 self-titled album, later writing that the track was a "gift from Prince" she will "always treasure."
- According to the Prince Estate, Grammy-nominated producer Chris James updated the 1991 recording with a fresh mix, marking the beginning of a series of unreleased recordings scheduled for release this year.
- Producer Marc Beckman explained the estate protects the artist's legacy strictly; earlier this year, a lawyer confirmed "Prince would never want his song associated with Donald Trump" when refusing to license music for a Melania documentary.
- Renewed interest in Prince's archive has led to various vault releases since his passing, while Minneapolis is hosting a tribute event today to celebrate the artist's spirit and legacy.
