The day has finally arrived: a large portion of Prince‘s discography is now available for streaming across all major services including Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon and Google Play.
Until now, Prince’s music has only been available on celebrity-owned platform Tidal. The addition, which was recently hinted at by major all-purple advertising campaigns, coincides with the 59th Grammy Awards which are currently taking place in California.
In a press release, Cameron Strang, chairman & CEO of Warner Bros. Records CEO and Chairman Cameron Strang spoke of the release: “Prince recorded his most influential and popular music during his time with Warner Bros. and we are deeply aware of our responsibility to safeguard and nurture his incredible legacy. Warner Bros. is thrilled to be able to bring Prince’s music to his millions of fans around the world via streaming services, fittingly on music’s biggest night. We’d like to thank Prince’s estate, Universal Music Publishing, the Grammy Awards and all of the streaming services for their great collaboration in making this landmark event possible.”
