The usually reclusive Prince has become more visible and vocal over the past few weeks.

“The Purple One” joined Twitter last week, posting photos of his favorite food, which his followers retweeted over 100 times. It was only a matter of time before fans received new music from the prolific legend.

Yesterday, Prince teased a snippet of his latest track, “Breakfast Can Wait,” and the single’s artwork, which will surely have the Internet buzzing.

Prince showed off his sense of humor by placing comedian Dave Chappelle dressed as him on the cover of “Breakfast Can Wait.”
