R&B Artist "The Dream" has a little purple envy...

I just got The Dream's new cd LOVE/HATE. Sounds like a cross between Ne-Yo vocally and Prince's drum pattern. A little more ghetto but just check out a few of the song titles.

Purple Kisses (i even think he mentions Prince in the song)
Nikki

Although, so far its a real nice R&B cd for you R&B cats out there. Ive been dissapointed in the past few years.. this is real tight though..

Check it out..

That shit DO sound like a Prince cut! I might like his album after all. I thought Shawty Is A Ten was aiight when I first heard it, but that shit is played 2 DEF.

Purple Kisses and Falcetto are nice too....

I love Falsetto and Fast Car, I almost considered buying it cause the beats are awesome, but his lyrics haven't impressed me much, and his vocals are too robotic for the most part, though he's had good moments too.

The beat sounds like "Flirt" slowed up with the bass synth taken out.

he's a definite prince fan. i heard him doing an interview on the radio and he said that wanted to work with prince. i was thinking, what in the world would he expect to do with prince. prince wouldn't sing anything he wrote.

The Dream was on Wendy Williams today and I didn't realize that he wrote "Umbrella" and "Mary J Blige's "Just Fine". Homeboy sure loves repeating himself in his songs. That's the most annoying part of the songs. If I have to hear anybody else sing "Umbrella Ella Ella Eh Eh Eh" one more time, I'm gonna spit on someone. mad

WTF kinda name is "the dream"?. Not "dream", but "The dream". Wow, what kinda chump has "the", in their stage name LOL. As if "dream" ain't dumb enough.

If it was a production team, fair enough, but this is just one dude right?

You like which one? The "Soulja Girl"....or the "Shawty" one? btw, the word "shawty" makes me cringe. lol What's with Soulja Boy and the use of the word "youuuuu". Is that his trademark or something? whofarted

Good lord...it sounds like the bastard son of the lead singer from Mazarati...it looks like even pro tunes has its limits.

After getting Under The Cherry Moon, I can totally hear where these guys get their sound from. Too bad they don't have the same creativity to pull it off like Prince does... confused
