German magazines to release issues with exclusive Prince singles in 2026

https://www.musik-magazin...-03-26-02/

.

We are kicking off 2026 with a unique and extraordinary collaboration: to mark the tenth anniversary of his death, ROLLING STONE and MUSIKEXPRESS are releasing two world-exclusive vinyl singles by Prince.

.

A few months before his death, the genius of the century recorded two albums that show him once again at his best and will be re-released in the new year: ‘HITnRUN Phase I’ and ‘Phase II’. They were to be his last works. For ‘Phase I’, he collaborated with singers such as Rita Ora and Lianne La Havas. ‘Phase II’ shows him as a political observer of his time.

.

Our February issue features the collector's item ‘Fallinlove2nite’ / ‘Hardrock Lover’, two outstanding tracks from ‘HITnRUN Phase I’ – ‘Fallinlove2nite’ in particular is considered a fan favourite. The 7-inch single comes in a sturdy, carefully designed cardboard cover and on heavy vinyl. It is only available with the German edition of ROLLING STONE and not in record stores.

.

MUSIKEXPRESS 03/26 also comes with a second world-exclusive Prince single: ‘Baltimore’ / “Stare”, two songs from HITnRUN Phase II. Prince wrote the ballad-like ‘Baltimore’ under the impression of racist police violence in the USA. Both issues are also available together in a bundle at a special price of 19,90 EUR at: www.rollingstone.de/prince-2026-bundle

Huh.

No option to ship to the US, I presume bc of the tariff bullshit.

Oh well. It's not like these are unreleased songs or anything. It would be nice to have these, but I'll survive without.
No confusion, no tears. No enemies, no fear. No sorrow, no pain. No ball, no chain.

Sex is not love. Love is not sex. Putting words in other people's mouths will only get you elected.

Need more sleep than coke or methamphetamine.

...wait
"Fallinlove2nite" is a fan fave?
I know many non-fans who like it.
The version with Zooey is a bit cooler, though...
