it's not all that recent, but most of boy george's "martyr mantras" album sounds WAY like prince, and duran duran's "wedding album" (the one with "ordinary world") has a lot of prince-inspired stuff on it too. | |

Janet :: Just A Little While (2004)
Has that whole funkabilly vibe and even the lyrics are suggestive and borderline blasphemous like "Dirty Mind"-era Prince. | |

Karl Wallinger could sound very much like ATWIAD/Parade era Prince sometimes, especially when he slid into a falsetto during a slower number. He always mentioned that he was a Prince fan in his interviews, and I think that really shows up in his music. Maybe it's just my imagination, but I think I can hear elements of Prince in some of Todd Rundgren's seventies albums, especially on Hermit of Mink Hollow and Something/Anything. That might be a bit of a stretch, I guess... | |

Ya think? Naw, not even. Not a Prince vibe anywhere on that song. It probably because of the voice. When I heard the song in spring 1996, I thought it was a Prince until my little sister told me it was Case. | |

I was forcing a good friend of mine to listen to it back in the day as I went on and on and on about how much I loved it. His response was "Of course you do, it sounds like a Prince song" | |

Maybe because I was thinking of the way how Prince sung Dinner With Delores which irontically my station also played around that same time. Still, I think Prince can also wrote a song like Tease me. That is really what is the title of the thread is of songs that Prince could have written. | |

I once read this album review for Michael Jackson's "Blood On The Dance Floor" album that mentioned how the reviewer thought "Superfly Sister" sounded like a Prince song. I think that answers this question.
Beyond that, I think the Wendy and Lisa song "Waterfalls" sounds like something Prince could have written. I love both the above songs [Edited 3/4/06 21:23pm] | |
