Prince and his band 3RDEYEGIRL release their new single 'PRETZELBODYLOGIC' today (03.01.14).
The surprise announcement from the 'Purple Rain' hitmaker and his all-female band follows the news they will head to London this week to perform at a number of "iconic venues".
Dates and ticket details are yet to be announced for the eagerly-anticipated gigs but the musician will host a press conference at in the living room of singer Lianne La Havas to kick off his 'Hit and Run' tour.
The 24-year-old singer met Prince last year during her tour of America and afterwards they jammed together at his Paisley Park Studios in Minneapolis.
3RDEYEGIRL, featuring guitarist Donna Grantis, bassist Ida Nielsen and drummer Hannah Ford Welton, are Prince's new multi-national all-girl rock trio.
The group's debut performance on 'Late Night With Jimmy Fallon' early last year was followed by concerts in Montreux, Sweden, Denmark, Portugal, Amsterdam, and a number of US cities, including a multi-night residency at the Mohegan Sun in Connecticut with Prince's larger New Power Generation band.
Between performances they spent time at Paisley Park where they recorded the album 'PLECTRUMELECTRUM', which will be released later this year.

The Rolling Stones feel too old to commit to long tours.
The veteran rockers are set to embark on a series of gigs as part of their '14 On Fire' tour in Asia and Australia later this month but drummer Charlie Watts admits they are trying to keep their tours short these days because of their "tender age".
The 72-year-old musician told The Australian.com: "We've done half of this one already.
"This is short compared to what we've done before, but it needs to be, I think, at our tender age.
"The thought of doing 50 shows, which was normal at one time for us to sign off on, that is quite daunting. Now we're doing that in little bits. If we don't do any more I'll be quite happy with that."
Charlie openly moaned about the thought of performing at iconic British festival Glastonbury last summer, but admits he had a blast reuniting with his bandmates - Mick Jagger
Keith Richards and Ronnie Wood.
He said: "That was wonderful, although you should have been there when I didn't like the idea of doing Glastonbury in all the mud and everything.
"We had three weekends in England in July where we had fantastic weather and the crowds were great and I had a really good time in both places. I've got to learn to shut up about things. That's typical of me."
The band will be joined on tour by special guest Mick Taylor, who was a member of the Rolling Stones from 1969 until 1974.

The Vamps have been named as the winners of MTV Brand New 2014.

Bradley added: "A big thank you to all our fans who voted for us, you're all amazing. It's a bit weird winning it when we've all grown up and seen the artists who have won it so thank you very much."
The 'Wild Heart' hitmakers' increasingly large fan base - nicknamed the vampettes - helped their debut single 'Can We Dance' reach number two in the UK Official Singles Chart last year, however they have previously brushed off a rivalry with One Direction.
They said: "We don't look at any other bands as competition. There is a massive music industry [and] there is space for loads of different bands, so it's not a competition."

Blur drummer Dave Rowntree admits people still apologise for mentioning Oasis in front of him.
During his pre-recorded radio show on XFM, which will air on Thursday (06.02.14), the musician plays Oasis hit 'Stop Crying Your Heart' and introduces the track by revealing people still think he's "bitter" about the two bands' rivalry during the 1990s.
He tells listeners: "When people around me inadvertently mention something to do with Oasis, or to do with something to do with Oasis, they generally turn to me and apologise.
"So if they say: 'I remember when I bought 'Roll With It'', they go, 'Sorry Dave!' Or they say, 'I think the new Beady Eye single's quite good ... Sorry Dave!'. So clearly people think that I'm still bitter about the battle of Britpop."
Blur were locked in a constant chart battle with Oasis in the mid-1990s, which culminated in them releasing singles in the same week in 1995, with Blur's 'Country House' topping the chart above their rivals' track 'Roll With It'.
After a huge backstage argument between frontman Liam Gallagher and his guitarist brother Noel, Oasis split in 2009 and the siblings have barely spoken since, instead deciding to focus on separate careers with Beady Eye and Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds.
Meanwhile, Blur split in 2003 but reunited in 2008 and frontman Damon Albarn confirmed last summer that he will reunite with his bandmates - Dave, bassist Alex James and guitarist Graham Coxon - to record a new album following the release of his own solo LP this year.
Last week, The Who frontman Roger Daltrey hinted that he would like to try and get Oasis to reunite for a Teenage Cancer Trust gig next year.
He said: "Noel and Liam are brothers so it will all be alright. Don't worry. Blood is thicker than music...
"Could I bring them together for a Teenage Cancer Trust show? Ask me next year."

Miley Cyrus wants people to focus more on her singing.
The 'We Can't Stop' hitmaker insists she doesn't want to be known for her shock value and hopes people will remember her for her voice and not her raunchy dance moves.
She explained to the US version of OK! Magazine: "I'm more focused on people being excited about me as a singer rather than someone who shocks people.
"I want people to be like, 'She did some things that were crazy, but at the end of the day it was all about her voice'."
Miley made headlines last August after her controversial performance at the MTV Video Music Awards - during which she stripped down to a latex bikini and grinded against 'Blurred Lines' singer Robin Thicke.
But Miley is adamant the intentions behind her antics are positive and claims she's a feminist.
She added: "I know people make it seem like all I do is come out and shock people. That isn't what it is. I think what girls see is that there's a feminist energy there."
Meanwhile, the 21-year-old singer revealed she takes time out to relax in order curb her nerves before a show.
She explained: "If I get nervous I need to lock it down. I need to sit out, get my mind right and rest my voice ... I want it to be something that's worth going to see."
