Maroon 5 Sites Prince as Inspiration 4 New Album

This is from MTV.com 10/26/05.

Maroon 5 have yet to pick a producer but have a few "brilliantly talented" people in mind, Levine said. As for the direction of their sound, the singer has been listening to a lot of early Prince and said that influence is coming out in his songwriting.

I love Prince and M5 so I'm pretty excited to hear about this!

Love Ya'll Tuffycat!
SO WHAT IF WE'RE CONTROLLING ALL THE OIL, IS IT WORTH THE CHILD DYING 4?

I'll be interested to hear how this works out. Their last CD was very good.
I'm not a fan of "old Prince". I'm not a fan of "new Prince". I'm just a fan of Prince. Simple as that

I read an article about the influence of Purple Rain and the singer of Maroon 5 said 'Purple Rain kicks so much ass'. I'm not a big fan but thought "well, at least they have some taste" razz

Levine obviously loves Prince. From hints in their sound to his whole pouty sex-kitten look in all his photos.

Not that he actually soundslike Prince when he solos on guitar, but he also reminds me of Prince a bit when he does.

There a cool band, Prince should produce something for them.
He focuses on Beyonce, Alicia Keys, Andre3000, etc. and always forgets the
influence he's had on rock-pop artists too
If you will, so will I
