For any of you living in the UK, you'll know that the weather was utterly horrible today! Being house bound I decided to record a quick a version of Damn U. I thought I'd post it here so that the Prince community can have a listen and give me some feedback.

Nice

I hate people covering Prince songs. There's so few good ones...almost non-existent. LeAnn Rimes, Mariah...maybe have tried. Most have failed.

But boy - you sang that shit! THAT'S A GOOD MUTHAFUKKIN' COVER!

I see on your Soundcloud you did "Adore", too. Frankly, these are the only two covers I've really, really loved. To the point that it made me miss Prince. My roommate is like "are you crying?" (I had headphones on.) I said, "Shut up, it's a Prince thing."

Hi Dan,

These are great, I particularly like the “Adore” cover – not an easy track to pull off. Just out of interest, are the horn parts sample based (Kontakt)? Superb vocals as well.

It’s nice to see org members sharing their own work... Looking forward to hearing more.

Um...WOW!!! That sounds beautiful!!!! I wish I sounded like that!!

Your "Adore" cover is really amazing too!! Better than a lot of the tributes that I have heard! Please let us know when u post more!

loved it.thanks for sharing...I only just heard the original today

Nice. You have a really great tone to your voice. Lovely to hear!

Like others have expressed, I'm not a fan of the P covers I've heard and I avoid them like the plague...but what I enjoyed about yours was that you weren't trying to be or imitate P, you have a lovely voice and sang as yourself which was very nice in it's own right.

Now if you'd try Nothing Compares To You, purely for scientific research purposes...

Most of time I am MEH on any Prince cover...but this is nice. And how you sing it is good for your voice...

and the song after..."until that day arrives" ? Is that you as well?

Very Nice. Well done!

Damn good, I must say!!

You have the register to pull it off. Nice arrangment too.

When I read the title of the thread I thought "Some cat covering Damn U? That can only be a complete disaster". And it wasn't. You did a pretty good job and respected the source material alright. My only critic might be that it lacks a certain swing: the beat/rhythm section is a little too robotic and some of the sensuality gets lost because of it. But apart from that I'm quite impressed

Very nice Danny! I also really enjoyed that. Nice voice!

HOLY SHIT, THAT GAVE ME CHILLS.

Loved this!!! Adore was amazing too....

I echo everyone else. That was great. Adore too. Thank you for posting.

Love it...but why did you leave out the ending? I felt a little cheated at the end

I always tought Marilyn Manson was the only one allowed to make covers, since in many cases he´s better than the original, but your cover is awesome! Congrats!

Ditto - I too wanted to hear more. TFS

Very smooth voice and yes you made it your own. I'm impressed! Please keep sharing, growing, and exploring. It is young people like you that give me hope of taking established music genres and exposing it for re-appreciation!

It is your hometown that took American R&B and rock & roll, put their own spin on it and sold it back to us!

You kind of favor this chap a little!

Such beautiful songs. I think you truly did them justice. It was wonderful that you kept true to so much of the phrasing and inflections, but it still had enough of an individual nuance to allow it to be your cover rather than some "faded photograph"

As said before, a lot of pros (hint hint Madonna) could not find the balance of honoring and keeping true to themselves. I applaud you sir.
