Norwegian newspaper compares Romanthony to Prince The Norwegian newspaper Verdens Gang wrote about Romanthony's "R. Hide in plain
site" on saturday 1. of April. This is the Prince-related part (pls excuse any wrong-spelling in my translation): "Since the original stopped making exciting records, there has popped up a new Prince every second month. Here's another one, Anthony Moore - aka Romanthony. The original is minimized to a symbol, but his soul lives in future artist-generations. ..... The voice sounds like the best we've heard from the small genius from Minneapolis. Romanthony also uses alot of the classic Prince-abbrevations" In the same article the sound of Romanthony's album is also compared with D'Angelo's "Voodoo". On a personal note, I feel Norwegian journalists have "written off" Prince as a major star of today. They see him as a star of the eighties which has influenced alot of today's music but he himself will never make any impact on future charts. | |
