It sounds like a Prince album!! Have you listen to the OK GO new album "Of the blue colour of the sky"
It`s an amazing album and it`s been clearly influenced by Purple Rain/Parade era Prince! "Goodness will guide us if Love is inside us" | |

Just listened to 1,5,6 & now 8... Definitely see what you mean, there's some major Prince influence in there. The vocals also remind me of Lenny Kravitz. If you wanna some more Prince influenced gold check out Beck's "Midnite Vultures" that's an awesome record that's sounds like it was recorded at Paisley Park  "Still Crazy 4 Coco Rock" | |

listen to something called Jevelen, its like Prince reborn - but better and fresher.
a song in particular is pretty cool called "they dont love you", reminds me of kiss. | |

And Juvelen is fun as well.It's odd hearing Prince's voice coming out of that guy's head. | |

Just been checking out their cool vids on utube - they're definitely worth checking out, so thanks. but I don't hear the Prince connection very strongly. "We've never been able to pull off a funk number"
"That's becuase we're soulless auttomatons" | |

pretty cool kinda sounds like Maroon 5 with a bit of Prince - maybe Prince should take a listen. "3 1 2 1" | |

Yep, I've got it and love it. It sounds like Prince meets The Flaming Lips, which is dandy by me.
I read a review in a magazine entitled Neurotic City. That's what caught my eye. | |

Yeah, sorry. seems like the youtube stuff i found was their old stuff - see what you mean with the new stuff, altho I'd say the influences are far more diverse than a Prince sound... "We've never been able to pull off a funk number"

It's produced by Dave Friedman, who does the Lips. If any of you bought the Lips At War With The Mysics album, it sounds like OK Go heard the second track on there (Fanatical), and thought 'what a great idea for an album!@ | |

I remember reading a review that mentioned their new album was clearly Prince-inspired.
I've only heard "WTF?" & it kinda reminds me of "Kiss", maybe it's the vocals...  I'll have to give the entire album a listen. How can I stand 2 stay where I am? / Poor butterfly who don't understand. | |

Love that album! We don’t mourn artists because we knew them. We mourn them because they helped us know ourselves. | |
