Welcome 2 America: The Rankdown1. SHOOTER 2. tim 3. newpower 4. Sir Benji 5. samo🦕 6. Linnethia Monique 7. Mirago 8. Zach 9. .indulgecountry 10. LBTrocks On July 30, 2021, The Prince Estate and Legacy Recordingsreleased the enigmatic and prescient 2010 album Welcome 2 America, a powerful creative statement that documents Prince’s concerns, hopes, and visions for a shifting society, presciently foreshadowing an era of political division, disinformation, and a renewed fight for racial justice.
Recorded in 2010 and then mysteriously archived, Welcome 2 America features some of Prince’s only studio collaborations with bassist Tal Wilkenfeld, drummer Chris Coleman, and GRAMMY-nominated engineer Jason Agel, with additional contributions from New Power Generation singers Shelby J., Liv Warfield, and Elisa Fiorillo and keyboardist Morris Hayes, who Prince also recruited to co-produce several tracks on the album.
In 2008, Tal Wilkenfeld received a phone call from Prince. The 21-year-old, Australian-born musician was surprised to hear Prince on the other end of the line, who said he had been watching YouTube videos of her on repeat. Prince brought Wilkenfeld to parties at his Los Angeles home where sometimes he and his band played and she was their lone audience member, spent a few days jamming in a local studio and drove around together in a limo listening to music. In 2009, Prince called Wilkenfeld from Minneapolis and said that he wanted to put together a trio with her, asking Wilkenfeld to find them a drummer. They settled on Chris Coleman, and Prince flew the two musicians to Paisley Park for the first time in late 2009. In March 2010, Wilkenfeld travelled to Paisley Park and began to improvise and play chords on instruction from Prince. "I just made everything up; he gave me no direction about what to play beyond a chord here or there. It was just do your thing," Wilkenfeld explained. "I never heard the lyrics, never knew what the songs were about, never heard the melody. It was like we had to be psychic when we were playing," she added. The result of this work culminated in Welcome 2 America.
It is unknown why the album was shelved for 11 years. Even a decade later, those who worked on the album still don't totally understand why. "That was a surprise to me," Morris Hayes says. If he had to guess, Prince might've axed it because not all of the album's collaborators including Wilkenfeld were able to join Prince on the road. "I only surmised that if he couldn't put this album out with the crew he created it with, then I think it was a big mitigating factor in why it hit the shelf," Hayes says. "Prince had this thing where he would shoot first and ask questions later. And if he didn't have commitment from all those people that we could go out and make a big splash – with a new band, a new Prince – then the balloon would just go down. If all those things weren't aligned, that would cause that (music) to go in the vault."
Shortly after completing the Welcome 2 America album, Prince embarked on a unique tour of the same name that included multiple performances in several U.S. cities, capped off by the historic “21 Nite Stand” at The Forum in Inglewood, California (where I was fortunate enough to see him THREE times).
“I think he knew this album needed to wait. He knew we'd need it later.” - Shelby J.

Analog people in a digital world Too much information make your hair curl Nothing left to value if it's all the same kind We got to let the funk unwind...LBTrocks : 3 Sir Benji : 3 .indulgecountry : 6 newpower : 10 SHOOTER : 10 Zach : 10 Linnethia Monique : 11 tim : 11 samo🦕 : 12 Mirago : 12In the 2017 Prince Exhibit "My Name Is Prince" at the O2 in London, England, lyrics of this song were on display, including noting of verses and a key of F, for it to be played in. A line of the lyrics reads: "If u ask the Lone Ranger Rin Tin Tin (1010)", with 1010 assumed to be Prince shorthand for the famous canine movie star Rin Tin Tin and a play on words of the angelical number 1010 (a reminder of us being watched over by positive forces and never truly being alone).

Some people might think it's rude But she's more comfortable in the nude At first I thought she was a prude But now she's the first and last thing I ever wanna do...Linnethia Monique : 4 .indulgecountry : 4 Zach : 4 SHOOTER : 5 tim : 9 Sir Benji : 9LBTrocks : 10 samo🦕 : 10 newpower : 11 Mirago : 11 When She Comes is featured here in its original version with faster, more acoustic instrumentation, as well as completely different lyrics, than the version included on 2015's HITnRUN Phase Two. It also takes a break from the political overtones of Welcome 2 America as pays unapologetic homage to the female orgasm.

You might be right, you might be wrong You might just think your life has gone on for too long Your knees get weak, yes, they do, your heart grows cold And you're tired of doing everything that you're told....indulgecountry : 3 tim : 4 samo🦕 : 4 LBTrocks : 6 Mirago : 7 Linnethia Monique : 9 newpower : 9 Sir Benji : 10 Zach : 11 SHOOTER : 12 Stand Up and B Strong is a cover of a song by alt-rockers Soul Asylum, taken from their 2006 album The Silver Lining. In a 2021 interview, archivist Michael Howe stated that Prince initially recorded a version of this track in 2007 with Soul Asylum's drummer; the version included on Welcome 2 America is a re-recording from March 2010 with a different band line-up.

Welcome to America Where you can fail at your job Get fired, rehired And get a seven-hundred billion dollar tip...Mirago : 1 newpower : 5 Zach : 5 tim : 6 Sir Benji : 6 Linnethia Monique : 8 SHOOTER : 9 .indulgecountry : 10 LBTrocks : 11 samo🦕 : 11 Welcome 2 America is a skeletal funk-rock track featuring Prince discussing a topic that he fixated on in the 2010s: the intersection of technology, politics and faith. The song gave name to one of his final large-scale tours which ran from December 2010 to May 2011. It was sporadically performed over the run of the tour, usually in the form of him riffing on the lyrics over the music to Dreamer (from 2009's Lotusflow3r).

Born 2 Die.
