Camille is the upcoming[4] second posthumous studio album by American musician Prince. The album was originally recorded in 1986 under the pseudonym Camille, a feminine alter ego portrayed by Prince via pitch-shifting his vocals up to an androgynous register.[3] Prince planned to release the album without any acknowledgement of his identity.[3] The project was initially scrapped several weeks before its planned release, with rare early LP pressings eventually surfacing for auction in 2016;[3] several tracks recorded for Camille were instead included on various other projects, most prominently Prince's 1987 double LP Sign o' the Times.
