Less than a day after announcing his first song with Warner Bros. Records, the music legend decides to unleash a sultry ballad called “The Breakdown,” on iTunes and Spotify.

“A brand-new studio album is on the way and both Warner Bros Records and Eye (sic) are quite pleased with the results of the negotiations and look forward to a fruitful working relationship,” Prince said in a statement today.
