Which Prince album was released in 1995 and includes 'Gold'?

The story behind the answer

The Prince album released in 1995 that includes “Gold” is The Gold Experience.

Released on September 26, 1995, The Gold Experience was Prince’s seventeenth studio album. It was credited to the unpronounceable symbol Prince had adopted during his dispute with Warner Bros., although the album is universally associated with Prince and is commonly identified by his name.

The album blends funk, rock, pop, and soul, reflecting Prince’s ambitious 1990s work. Its tracks include “The Most Beautiful Girl in the World,” “I Hate U,” “Dolphin,” “Eye Hate U,” and “Gold.” The closing song “Gold” became one of the album’s best-known anthems, while the record reached No. 6 on the Billboard 200.

A frequent source of confusion is the album’s changing artist credit. Prince’s symbol appears on the original release, but that does not make it a different artist or album. The record’s title remains The Gold Experience, and “Gold” is its concluding track.
