I keep thinking of "The Afterworld." But maybe that is too depressing for an album title?

I think you're assuming it'd be a bunch of random outtakes. However, if they start releasing completed albums, it could be anything. There are albums between the albums we know, so those are the ones they could start filling in. The album after 1999? Or the one after Purple Rain, etc etc. That would be a great way to start addressing stuff.

I was thinking about this in the car earlier and I decided "The Dawn" would be a pretty great album title. It has history within the Prince canon, it already has a possible title track, and it also conjures the imagery of Prince ascending to another level.

Expanding on a great idea: "Purple Dawn"

If it was recorded, the next album HAS to be 'Piano & a Microphone Live in Atlanta'.
The Sampler Set is great!

Some good answers in here, especially "The Afterworld" and "Welcome 2 The Dawn".

.

I'll add "The Second Coming".

The man kept borrowing bits & pieces from different times, and simulataneously seemed to be from the future and a throwback, so why not?

A conversation not in real time. (But it will probably be Roadhouse Garden or HitnRun phase 3)

I think names such as "The Dawn" or "Welcome 2 the Dawn" should not be used if the album in question was not specifically named that way by Prince himself.

You can call it whatever you want but it would feel strange, unofficial, illegitimate.

It already felt weird when Prince himself named the 1998 collection "Crystal Ball" or the 1999 album "Rave Un2 the Joy Fantastic" because we knew that they weren´t the real deal.

Now, without Prince´s involvement, naming an album "The Dawn" would not feel authentic.

" I´d rather be a stank ass hoe because I´m not stupid. Oh my goodness! I got more drugs! I´m always funny dude...I´m hilarious! Are we gonna smoke?"
