I heard he said this CD was very Prince-ish

Check out the song "Sexy Ladies".....if you can't imagine P takin vocals on that song

Another is all in falsetto and a few others really sound Prince influenced but to me Sexy Ladies was the most obvious

I agree. The vocals reminded me of Prince alone, then there's that squiggly Minneapolis synth line during the hook too.

Definitely. There are linn sounds in at least two songs, and the vocals on Damn Girl are totally Prince, IMO. It's actually a quite enjoyable album but his boyband/MJ-like slick backing vocals get on my nerves quickly.

Sexy Ladies has a nice bass, too. If only the snare sound wasn't so weak, that's gotta have some punch.

That is a linn clap on "Pose" (the one with Snoop)

"Until The End of Time" completely has Linn drums.

I know this is Timbaland's work.

it's nice but i think it'll become boring very soon



anywho, for now it's a very nice slick album with a
lot of nice grooves on it.

yeah, I like it a lot

Justin has come A LONG WAY.....thats for sure!!!

I just MIGHT give it a listen...

Princely vibe? You mean the fact that it's pure crap?

U guys r

The only vibe Justin is on needs batteries...

One review of Sexy Back I saw called it "joyless".

That about sums it up.

Isn't 'SexyBack' an instrumental version of Loose played through a tea-strainer with faux-angst lyrics?

Remember, Justin nicked the bassline of 777-9311 for that 'Lovin' it' single too.

That don't remind me at all of Prince. He screams (quite weakly I might add). that is it. I don't hear no Prince here.

They robbed The Time on that one. Pharell is going too far here.

alwayslate said:

Pharell had nothing to do with this album, right? It's all Justin and Tim

IstenSzek said:

my bad. .. It is Timbaland.

alwayslate said:

this record clearly has a Prince vibe including the first single Sexyback. Not mad at Justin or Andre 3000...they are not nor ever could be Prince but they are willing to step outside of the incredible dumb hip hop and pop sphere of todays music and created music that at least sounds fress compared to what others are doing

Justin who?
Sorry saying he has a Princley vibe isn't enough for me to listen to his "music" much buy anything put out with his name on it.

Man, 80s Prince's influence is all over this album

yeah! I'm sure there are still a few of you left.

I just heard it and you are so dead on it. There's even a song on there, I think it's Damn Girl, he sounds like 90's Prince. It's not a bad CD at all. I have to say I enjoyed it but it kinda dragged at the end but it's not bad at all and that's a lot for me to say considering that he's been on my shit list since the Superbowl incident.

Nothing like a baiter.

purplecam said:

that's not bait. That's just how I see things

anyone know why "POSE" with Snoop Dogg isnt on the actual retail CD????
