After a decade in development, legendary drummer Prairie Prince (The Tubes, Journey, Todd Rundgren) is set to release his debut solo album, Colours and Passions, on March 20, 2026, via Label 51 Recordings. The ambitious 14-track project serves as a spiritual successor to Ken Nordine’s 1966 spoken word classic Colors, featuring an eclectic roster of 50 collaborators including Buckethead, Jello Biafra, and Todd Rundgren. Recorded at the historic Wally Heider’s Studios, the album anchors Prince’s percussive improvisations with diverse musical contributions to explore the emotional resonance of specific hues—ranging from the frantic social commentary of "Flesh Terror" to the vibrant "Orange Joy." This landmark release not only showcases Prince’s dual talents as a musician and visual artist but also highlights Label 51’s "artist-first" mission, which offers fans the unique opportunity to become equity co-owners of the label.
