TORONTO — Only days after announcing a new partnership with Warner Bros. Records, Prince has released a new song.

“The Breakdown” — a ballad showcasing Prince’s falsetto — is available for streaming.

The song will be part of a forthcoming album.

“One of the things that we try to do is wait until we have other songs that go together with our favourites,” Prince explained during a recent appearance on The Arsenio Hall Show.

Breaking news from Canada and around the world sent to your email, as it happens.

“That’s why it takes a long time to come out with albums these days.”

Last weekend, Warner Bros. Records announced it has struck a deal with the singer to release his previously-unheard music while giving Prince ownership of his hits.

Financial terms were not disclosed.
