STIJN Plays Prince....

Not sure where to put this.....

Totally listenable TRIBUTE starting with People Without that moves into New Position and more..

Id never heard of STIJN, but he has my respect..At no Time did I feel like I was at a shitty Karaoka Bar listening to an impersonator..

STIJN gave a stripped back performance that allows one to really HEAR the LYRICS...

I don't argue with people about my opinions. Scram. I said what I said.

I know right...

Did you catch Purple Music too...this guy is obviously very familiar and intimate with Princes whole catalogue...

I want the world to pay tribute like this...I think actually this is a taste of things to come..

but then I always look through Lilac Tinted Glasses...

Watching now.

.

Love, love, love the "Tambourine" cover. Among others. Such a tribute to the diversity of Prince's catalog and so bold to include mostly non-hits, deep tracks, b-sides, and unreleased (opening a show with "People Without").

.

Ever since the other day when the OP posted the show, I've been telling all my Prince-fan friends (EDIT: well, all two of them) that they NEED to check this out.

.

Wish I could see this show live. Really awe-inspiring tribute, so creatively and passionately performed.

.

Stijn should've done the Grammy tribute. THIS is the kind of innovative interpretation of Prince's music that transcends all the 'dress-up' bullshit on display in Bruno Mars' so-called 'tribute.' Yeah, totally unrealistic proposition... but still, just sayin'.

.

Glad to be aware of this artist (I've had "Sex Junkie" running through my head all weekend, as well).

Yes I remember those - I saw that show in the AB last year as well as the radio 2 tribute in Rivierenhof. I liked the latter a bit more (more traditional choices) but both were great!

Wow I am in awe of this performance and the talent of this guy!! eek
Finally a tribute worthy of the man.
AND done by someone who is a REAL fan and not just another "yeah I like purple rain" casual listener.
STIJN I love your choice of songs and complete rearrangements of them, you managed to somehow stay true to the original while injecting your own new style into it as well which is no easy task!
