The singer came to a mutual agreement with the record label to end his current publishing deal and pursue new projects with his music.
"We are pleased to announce that Prince and Universal have reached a mutual agreement in terminating their longstanding publishing deal," Kiran Sharma, Prince's manager said.
"It is an exciting opportunity for Prince to consider fresh and new ideas for all his music."
Plans for a follow-up to Prince's 27th studio album 20Ten have yet to be confirmed.
The star released the record as a free CD covermount via the Sunday Mirror in the UK and through various other publications around the world.

WAS a legend Jim. I feel like it would have been quicker just to come out into the audience and slap me in the face. I wish he would just get his act together. Move forward do some recordings, get those out as downloads, what next he only does wax cylinders? Its just plain stupid.
I'd LOVE to hear lots of great music from him but honestly, hes getting older, his audience is beginning to dwindle and its all rather sad. I can only hope this latest move is a good one and he gets things sorted and finds some kind of peace to be able to let the work flow and be at ease and just enjoy it.
