Help me identify new Prince-sounding single I'm desperate to identify a really cool, retro-sounding, Prince-protege sounding, single that I heard today on a pop radio station today. The only details that I have is that it is a big voiced, female artist, most likely a black singer. The music is real Prince-sounding circa 1984. It is a new track, that has a strong Prince-style 80's synth and rhythm thing going. I am dying to identify the artist and song title.. Any clues or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
It's my luck to hear a song I really like and want NOT on XM radio. If it was on XM, I could instantly see the artist and song title of course. | |

Could it be Joss Stone's new one? "Tell Me 'Bout It"
Go here, and you'll get to hear it from the girl herself... |

the song is REAL PRINCE Protege like. It sounds like something Prince would have written for one of his ladies. | |

Is it Diddy featuring Keyshia Cole - "Last Night"? - it does have that mid 80's Prince rhythm, synths, ect. | |

I totally forgot about Shanice's Every Woman Dreams. I wonder if that's the song. Seems to have all the elements although the tempo wasn't specified. I'll bet that's the song tho. Been gone for a minute, now I'm back with the jump off | |

Yeah, that's what I was thinking of too. This is probably the song that the orger who started this thread had in mind. It definitely sounds like a Prince song. [Edited 4/25/07 8:49am] RIP, mom. I will forever miss and love you. | |

I'm gonna agree with most everyone else and say it's probably the Diddy song
I heard it's remix in the car this morning and that crap sounds like a direct sample of 'When Doves Cry'! If you will, so will I | |

"Danger" by Hilary Duff, its on the new album, its got that Keyboard/linn drum sound thing going on, and it easily could have fit a protege.

As others have stated, he's probably talking about Diddy's song Last Night.
Since when did Hilary Duff get a big voice? [Edited 4/25/07 10:59am] | |

from what I heard, the entire Justin Timberlake's cd sounds like Prince

I think I would have went with Diddy if the poster mentioned a male vocal but overall I don't think that Last Night sounds that Princish. I wonder if we'll ever know but it's fun guessing. Been gone for a minute, now I'm back with the jump off | |
