We all know that Prince’s discography is one of the most prolific – if not the most prolific – in the history of popular music. But his songwriting prowess didn’t end with his own recorded repertoire, as he bestowed an abundance of top-shelf compositions upon his respected musical colleagues throughout his storied career.

And now, as part of the continued effort to unearth more of the Purple One’s vast oeuvre, his estate and Warner Bros. are scheduled to release a collection of original, never-before-released demo versions of songs that he gifted to other artists throughout the years. Featuring Prince’s vocals, the intriguing compilation includes the early incarnations of hit singles including “Jungle Love” (The Time), “Manic Monday” (The Bangles), “The Glamorous Life” (Sheila E.), and “Nothing Compares 2 U” (The Family), the lone previously released track among the 15 songs assembled.

Originals is set for release on June 7th, what would have been Prince’s 61st birthday, and the full track listing appears below:

01. “Sex Shooter” (Apollonia 6)
02. “Jungle Love” (The Time)
03. “Manic Monday” (The Bangles)
04. “Noon Rendezvous” (Sheila E.)
05. “Make-Up” (Vanity 6)
06. “100 MPH” (Mazarati)
07. “You’re My Love” (Kenny Rogers)
08. “Holly Rock” (Sheila E.)
09. “Baby, You’re a Trip” (Jill Jones)
10. “The Glamorous Life” (Sheila E.)
11. “Gigolos Get Lonely Too” (The Time)
12. “Love… Thy Will Be Done” (Martika)
13. “Dear Michaelangelo” (Sheila E.)
14. “Wouldn’t You Love to Love Me?” (Taja Sevelle)
15. “Nothing Compares 2 U” (The Family)
