PrintableAs I said, D'Angelo is the only artist that has studied Prince's musicianship to a T. Literally, if you were to ask him at what point in a Prince song does some deceptive bass cadence happens, he'd be able to tell you the exact second and minute to a fault. I'm not retracting on what I said about St. Vincent though. I don't see any similarity to Prince at all, see as in hear. Being talented doesn't represent Prince, alone, for me. D'Angelo has such a grasp that it's not bias that fuels this, it's intrigue in how much influence Prince has on him. From His debut album to Black Messiah. VooDoo is a direct rip on Prince, completely, down to the bass lines and harmonies/falsetto. Brilliant artist, true Prince was Funk, soul, rock and roll, and so much more. It's authentic. | |

It's authentic. very true...but not just Prince...he's obviously studied and invoked the vocal mannerisms and production techniques of Al Green and Marvin Gaye, and combined them with his Prince influence, to create his whole thing... | |

Replace Prince? That is just silly. "You always get the dream that you deserve, from what you value the most" -Prince 2013 | |

no doubt..
James Brown + Little Richard + Sly Stone + Jimi Henrix & Carlos Santana = Prince
the feel & tone of Prince's guitar playing has always been closer to Santana than Hendrix... | |

Replacement is of course out of the question but worthy of our attention would be the family stand. Not sure if they still exist as a band but the stuff i ve heard live and on record is really close to the quality of prince's stuff | |
