<br />Fans waiting to hear a much anticipated new Prince album will have to wait at least a little while longer as a restraining order has blocked the music from hitting iTunes.<br /><br />TMZ reports the estate of the late pop icon won a court battle that would prevent producers from releasing the "Deliverance" EP, which was set to drop on the one-year anniversary of Prince's death.<br /><br />In the ruling it was determined producer George Ian Boxill did not have the right to distribute Prince’s unreleased songs to the public due to a confidentiality agreement Boxill signed while working with Prince back in 2006.<br /><br />Boxhill has also been ordered to turn over all remaining recordings to the estate and we’re left to wonder if we’ll ever hear those tracks.<br /><br />According to Entertainment Weekly, the pair had been working on this six-song EP between 2006 and 2008.<br /><br />iTunes users who pre-ordered the album before it was removed did obtain one free song download but it is unclear how the estate plans to handle the leaked song.<br />
