The Prince estate will release an album of “Originals, ” consisting of songs he wrote that were hits for other people. For some idiotic reason they’re going to stream it exclusively on Tidal for two weeks, then release it on June 21st via Warner Bros. No one has Tidal, and no one cares. I hope they got a big fat fee for that.

Here’s the tracklisting:

1. “Sex Shooter” — Apollonia 6, Apollonia 6 (1984)
2. “Jungle Love” — The Time, Ice Cream Castle (1984)
3. “Manic Monday” — The Bangles, Different Light (1985)

7. “You’re My Love” — Kenny Rogers, They Don’t Make Them Like They Used To (1986)
8. “Holly Rock” — Sheila E., Krush Groove (OST) (1985)
9. “Baby, You’re a Trip” — Jill Jones, Jill Jones (1987)
10. “The Glamorous Life” — Sheila E., The Glamorous Life (1984)
