An unreleased version of the song With This Tear has been issued from Prince’s archive. The recording features Prince performing the track, which he originally wrote before it was recorded and released by Celine Dion in the 1990s.
The estate overseeing Prince’s catalog confirmed the release as part of its ongoing effort to share material from his vault. The newly available version presents Prince’s own vocal performance and arrangement of the song.
With This Tear was previously known through Dion’s official release, but this recording provides a separate interpretation created by its writer. The song’s lyrics and structure remain consistent, while the performance reflects Prince’s original recording style.
The release adds to a series of posthumous projects that continue to make previously unheard recordings from Prince’s catalog publicly available.
