Prince's influence

As we all know Prince has had a huge influence on a number of artists today, such as Maxwell and D'Angelo.
But what way has he influenced these others do you think?
And how big influence has he really had on today's artist?
Name a few artist who you think has gotten their style from Prince if you can

biggrin biggrin

I'll add one.

For mainstream, Justin Timberlake.

From his 2nd album onwards. From the way he acts in the videos (Sexyback), to the titles of songs, to the 2nd rate looped sampled Prince beats, to the collaboration of other singers in which also is spawned a 2nd rate Prince beat I.E. Ciara.

The same can be said about Timbaland.

This new fag....The Dream..

His new single "walking on the moon" is a obviouse Prince ripoff....

His new girl trio is a wanna be Vanity6....

And he wnt on record to say if he could work with any artist it would be
Prince.....


I saw the dream live in my city and his performance was just

Sometimes I believe that influence just goes into a big Music Melting Pot...and each artist has thousands of people to fit within their spirit....Just like everyone we have ever met is in some way within our personality. cool

Alicia Keys, Van Hunt, J'Davey, Macy Gray, and pretty much any recording artist who has taken there music to the internet without a label.
When eye go 2 a Prince concert or related event it's all heart up in the house but when eye log onto this site and the miasma of bitchiness is completely overwhelming!

I never knew about The Dream being a huge fan of Prince, but after I've listen to his songs on spotify, damn even the titles of his songs are like Prince's (Fast car, Purple Kisses, Nikki ...) But I liked the song "Fast Car", it sounds like a new version of Little Red Corvette/When Doves Cry biggrin

Totally agreed. By the way I think Justin is more influenced by Michael Jackson than Prince.

Even more interesting (maybe): How would you rate his influence on those artists that usually are called upon when it comes to influences ON PRINCE?

Miles? Sure, some..
Larry Graham? Quite yes, or no?
George Clinton? Definitely!

What'cha think?

Doesn't Prince mention her on Ol' Skool? neutral

I think one of the great things about prince is that his influence went beyond pop and R&B in it's impact. Groups/singers as diverse as Trent Reznor to Jane's addiciton to Phil Collins were impacted by Prince. There is also a lot of Prince influence in the European music that came over during the "new wave" explosion. I also agree with the poster above who made the statement about the melting pot. One music is in the air it belongs to everybody and everybody is going to be influenced by it whether they acknowledge it or not.
