Chris Brown attempting to sound like Prince?

Chris Brown has a new song out. Over at Dr. Funkenberry's you can hear it. Nice try Chris!!! Mr. Funk misspelled the title...not sure what it is supposed to say.
Sorta sounds like Chris, R Kelly and a very weak attempt at Prince to me. What do you think? Sorta makes me laugh he's trying so hard. Doesn't he have his own sound????lol

The song's alright. There are Princely moments like the drum beats and the guitar (which like y'all said, he would've slayed it). The song is nothing to go crazy about but it isn't bad either.
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

Well...He has a lot of songs that are written and produced by The Dream. This artist admits he is influenced by Prince. Not sure if he wrote this track though. eek

TBO is poppin' up everywhere.
Justin Timbergirl has a song that samples it (I don't remember the time...for all time or something like that)
Usher has a song that kinda has the beat (Give it to me)
And then there's this song, and the one that you mentioned, Screamer lol

THE VOGUE OF IMITATION



chris brown does not sound like prince


the track, which its highly unlikely chris brown had anything to do with is attempting to imitate an 80's prince sound, but thats about it. imitation of a sound.

princes music has a combination of superior things going on.
vocals, arrangement, and lyrics.

everything about that was 100% below average, i cannot believe there is an article about the idea. wtf. rolleyes

I agree a very weak attempt. Chris needs to "stay in his lane".

Definately heavly Prince influenced. Beat,synth and lyrics and obvouisly the guitar solo. I hear a Beautiful Ones mixed with Purple Rain feel.


On another note. Chris Brown's other song Take You Down reminds me so much of Do Me,Baby. Sorta like an updated version.
Some people think I'm kinda cute
But that don't compute when it comes 2 Y-O-U.

Yea, it had the Purple Rain chords with TBO keyboard chopstick-like riff. My generation has no originality confused

The beat is an attempt...

I thought that it was going to listening to Brown attempt some falsetto..

That would've been funny.


Without the Linn drum, it sounds kind of weak..

I think that is why it was "Net-Leaked"
