I've heard the whole album on wimp, a norwegian app similar to spotify. I think overall the albums is pretty good. It's not groundbreaking at all, and it's absolutely no 1999. Soundwise it is emulating the feel of 1999, the sound of The Time as well as some early Sheila E new wave funk. This just proves she has done her research on Prince pretty damn well. Even though she is almost copying the sound, she is bringing enough personality to the table to make it somewhat fresh in todays context. No classic, but a great fun listening to. The production is tight too.
That's a well written and fair review of CHÂTEAU FAUX-COUPE. Tight production and great fun to listen to ... EVERY SINGLE DAY seems to become a club favorite down here, we played it several times in our little club tonight and the people came over screeming for more!!! It has that certain SOS Band/Flyte Tyme Groove from back in the days, not created in this perfection for a long time.
I am not going to talk the new albums of The Original 7ven or Fdeluxe here. In the end they are the Minneapolis Funk!
No, the year 2011 has brought some hot new music, mostly from so called 'Independent Artists' which are heavily influenced by the Minneapolis music scene but have never worked with Prince himself. Please check them out, they are definitely worth a listen ....
My very favorite is:
MAYA VIK - Album: CHâTEAU FAUX-COUPE
kind of a SHEILA E from Europe ....
other favorites:
GOLDIE WATSON - ELECTRIC HEAVEN
PATRICK STUMP - SOUL PUNK
JOHNNY SHOWCASE - LOVE IS THE MESSAGE
DEONIS - THE BREAKING POINT
NINA ATTAL - YELLOW 6/17
TGFA - WHITE KEY
JOY DELIVERED - JOY DELIVERED
WES STYLES - THE BETAMAX COLLECTION
NAZZ - GLORIA EUPHORIA
Please name your discoveries here, I am sure I missed some ... Thank You!
Maya Vik - Daydreamer sounds like a The Time track, or a jamie starr prince Do Me Baby type with more "cold" and up to date production. I think it is using the same chords and almost the same bassline, but is still a fresh listen.

Yeah that song is hot! Been listening alot to this album lately. I must say it is brilliant, it actually tops Condensate imo. Condensate has great songs, but is more unstabile, while Maya Vik has delivered an album that is a cool listen all the way. It's light and fun, but sophisticated at the same time. This is how it would sound if Flyte Time, Quincey Jones, Dj Quick and Prince joined forced and did a european version of Minneapolis funk. If annyone is interrested in similar artists vocal wise, ya'll should check out this chick...

YEAH, we sure know how to funk overhere in good old Europe .... Watch this 19 year old girl from France and you know what I mean, have you ever heard a better version of HEAD?????????

I sign that! We both seem to love MAYA a lot, the album really grows on you with each listen ... While, ok, Condensate is a very enjoyable relase, but I dont listen to it that much anymore, it became kind of boring after a while, furthermore there is not one single track that I can use in the club?! I tried playing 'Trending' and 'Condensate' with little success but the people love 'Every Single Day' ... Let's hope for more great music from MAYA VIK in the near future.

This chick totally sample/ripped off Shakatak, that Jazz/Funk band from the 80's.

First off you rock! Thanks for posting this thread I love it! I've been looking for more Princely stuff to add to my collection. Soul Punk in my opinion is a pop/funk masterpiece and might make my number one this year for album of the year! Never heard of Maya Vik before but I am loving this and hope I can get a copy of her album. Cheers!
Is Maya Vik's entire album like Get Low? I really hope so!
I'm looking forward to buying Maya Vik's album on the 4th of November. Thanks again for the thread.
I'm glad Annie has been discussed here too. Her two records are fantastic, and she couldn't be sexier.
Bon dia/Hola Javi ... U wont be disappointed, let us know what u think about the full album, but you need to give it a few listens before it opens up it's cheer brilliance ....
And yes ANNIE is sexy, love these sophisticated ladies a lot more like these Beyonce type of women, but I have only a couple of singles from her, no full album, maby I should try .....

All in all CHÂTEAU FAUX-COUP is much more relaxed and sophisticated like f.e. SOUL PUNK but that certain Minneapolis Vibe is all over it ...
I can understand that Patrick Stump's Soul Punk is your Number 1, I love it a lot, too, i only got this problem with the single 'This City' and a couple of other tracks on here, they're too poppish for my spoiled ears ...
Have you tried DEONIS - The Breaking Point and listen to JOY DELIVERED's LOVE Album on itunes, there are 2 tracks on it which will send you to heaven ... And if that's not enough, add SEVEN from Swizzerland to your collection. All his albums are great and he's deeply influenced by Prince, he even managed to get Tamar Davis for a duet, WOW!

This City by Patrick Stump and Spotlight are very pop but damn they are so catchy so they get a pass from me. Other than that, I think that album is so good. I'm surprised by some of the mediocre reviews i've read. I can't understand it....
Never heard of Joy Delivered but I will check them out. I happened to find a copy of the Maya Vik album and will listen to it tomorrow. I'll write more after i've heard it but I think i'm gonna love it!

Hi!
Annie's records are awesome, I think you won't be disappointed. They have an 80's flavour, particularly the second.
Oh, by the way, I'm not from Catalonia, actually I'm from Madrid. I made the joke about Catalonia, but I wasn't born there. I appreciate them a lot though, they have the most European mindset here in Spain, and Barcelona is a beautiful city. And they have Guillamino!
JARLE BERNHOFT is great, I listend to the snippets of SOLITARY BREAKS & CERAMIC CITY CHRONICLES, and I guess I need to purchase both of them! - Thank's a lot for introducing!
Get a clue of JUAN ROZOFF my favorite Funk-Artist from France:
Thank you, thank you, thank you, merci, merci, merci for turning me on to Rozoff..
Wow! Great band! So tight... check this one:
Wow. that Rozoff is amazing. What tight live show. Going to have to research him more.

Hello Javi, which ANNIE album do you mean, 'Dont Stop' or 'Anniemal'? I am not quite sure which one is the 'second' ... And thank's to you and Replica for introducing!
So, you're from Madrid .... that's a pretty descent place to live, isnt it? Anyhow, I admire the fact that Spain has left Central-Europe far behind regarding the implementation of certain human rights, Congratulation!
Yes, I like these 4 tracks I purchased from Guillamino! Are their any other Funkster in your country which are worth a listen? Do you know VENUE CONNECTION from Madrid? It's not P Music but some good chill out jazz-funk/soul ....
Wow. that Rozoff is amazing. What tight live show. Going to have to research him more.
The French Funk scene is incredible but sadly overlooked outside our country. Their are so many great Artist and most of them are heavily influenced by Prince's work ... I could name you at least a dozend others which come close to Juan Rozoff talent, but this would overload this thread here ....
Why dont you give NINA ATTAL a listen, I posted her live performance of HEAD up here. Some 9 minutes of cheer funk heaven, believe me!!!!!!!!!! And her album is ... WOW!

Anniemal is the first album, Don't Stop the second. Both are amazing, I couldn't choose my favourite if I tried...
Unfortunately, the funk scene in Spain is not as rich as the French. However, I've read in Rock de Lux (a Spanish music magazine) something about a band that were heavily influenced by early 90's Prince (N.P.G.). I'll try to find the article and I'll tell you.

Who is this guy now I think I like him. The song is good. Doesn't send me Prince vibes I think he got his own style. Its kinda laid back but had some thought put into this mid tempo r&b pop piece. The chorus almost reminds me of the verses style like If by Janet.
Straight Jacket Funk Affair
Album plays and love for vinyl records.

SEVEN is a R&B/Funk artist from Swizzerland. So far he released, I believe, 4 or 5 albums overhere in Europe. His style, vocally & productionwise is heavily influenced by Prince on many tracks, esspecially on the first both but on HOME & FOCUSED, his 2 latest albums, too.
My favorits on Home are 'Crazy X' and 'Brother & Sister' a duet with TAMAR DAVIS. On Focused there is this splendid ballad 'LET ME BE' and 'I SHOULD' ....
The albums should be available in the USA/CANADA, too, but I am not sure ...

Yes very much so. I have to lookout for him.

Yes, I am not sure about the US Store but in Europe definitely, it will also be on Amazon's mp3 store anywhere around here ....
If you cant wait and your're from Europe you can purchase it via junodownlod.com. I wish you lots lots of fun with it, it's such a brilliant album ............ !

Shit u guys r right that Every Single Day is not to be fucked with that is the CUT. Like the lyrical arrangement. Nuts At The Wedding and Oslo Knows is that KNOCK too. I dont think of Prince really even though it is Mpls funk the music stands on tits own.

Yes, Andy, everytime we play ESD the dancefloor is packed and people start yelling at minute 4:sth when the break appears ... Lots of guests have asked if this is a unreleased track from the SOS Band hosting another lead-singer
Anyhow, it's hard to name favorites on Château Faux-Coupe, Shoplifter & Oslo Knows is great, too. And I agree that the MPLS Funk is on here but she definitely gots her own skills .... To me this album is like the never released follow up to Jill Jones/Taja Sevelle/Sheila E's latest Paisley Park projects ..... Word!
*goes on 'head and pull out that US Bank debit card* Look what u done gone and did!
I'm with you on that. I broke down and got it from Juno. It's a slammin album. My only gripe is that I can't really work out what she's saying most of the time. I think the vocals are kind of low but the album is great and has really good beats. I'm not sure how many of you are hip to Lushus Daim & The Pretty Vain but Oslo Knows is basically a track by them called The one you love with different lyrics. Maya Vik definitely knows her shit to be sampling that.
