Unreleased Prince music has premiered during Versace’s menswear presentation at Milan Fashion Week.
As Dazed reports, Prince was friends with Donatella Versace and wrote the song in question as a “personal gift” to her.
“The soundtrack features never-before-heard music by Prince, which was written and recorded as a personal gift to Donatella Versace,” the press notes read. “Donatella would like to use this special occasion as an opportunity to share this incredible music from a dear, and much missed friend.”
In an interview with Billboard, Versace said, “It was a privilege and an honour to have Prince as my friend, and so it was my privilege to be able to share [the unreleased music] with the audience,” Versace added. “I wanted people to hear how playful he was, how joyous, how creative, how pure a genius. The biggest tribute you can pay to him is to play his music, and to keep his memory alive.”
