Prince is said to have recorded enough unpublicized music to fill 100 albums. But there is hope for eager listeners yet: Troy Carter, an estate adviser for the Purple One, told Variety on Friday that "there will be unreleased Prince music coming soon."

The contents of Prince's "vault" are the stuff of legend, and bootlegs of some of his scrapped albums are beloved by fans. Before his fatal fentanyl overdose in April 2016, Prince "was a guy who practically lived in a recording studio," Carter said. "I heard some music the other night that was pretty mind-blowing, and we're getting some stuff mixed right now."
