What do you listen to when you want to feel like you are listening to Prince but you can't play Prince again because you've had his whole discography on repeat for the last 3 weeks straight?

I usually listen to Jamiroquai (esp "Funk Odyssey"), Musiq Soulchild, Erykah Badu and even Gnarls Barkley. Lately I've been listening to the new Plantlife album "Time Traveller". Its probably the best new album I have found so far. What new albums have you guys discovered?

Btw- if you want to hear some of the Time Traveller album goto Plantlife's myspace page:

Mmmm, I would want to play something that makes me dance. It doesn't have to sound like Prince for me to find something. I'd listen to EWF or Stevie or even Donna Summer 70's stuff to find a groove. A lot of early 80's R&B stuff that I have also satisfies me too when I want something funky when I've exhausted all of my Prince stuff.

HAhaha this is an odd question, but I guess my answer would be Van Hunt

I've been on a Michael Franti and Spearhead jag for the last 2 weeks.

Dangerous by Michael Jackson, the whole album could pass for tame Prince reinditions, eg Jam, why u wanna trip on me, in the closet, who is it etc...

I guess besides Plantlife I have also been listening to Digitalism and Justice. But for those of you who aren't into this electronic dance music Plantlife is the way to go!

"Get Ready (Interlude)"
"Blue Moon"
"cisuM elpruP"
"Your Brand Of Loving"
all by Chri$topher (aka "me" lol)

uh, some Klymaxx
mainly the MITLR album
(esp. "Video Kid")

there's a song from Van Hunt's
second album that
puts me in the mind of Prince/Sly Stone
the name escapes me right now

bout that time for me
to pull out the new wave records
I had to give em a break

I think I know what you mean. Right now I'd have to say

Rick James (including Mary Jane Girls and Stone City Band)

Guess it would have to MeShell and Erykah.

I've never had that problem.
Nothing else makes me feel like I'm listening to Prince though.
Maybe do the instrumental Prince but I've never gotten tired of his voice.
Although I've been asked why I don't get tired of it.lol

I've seen a couple of answers that probably don't fit the thread.
I think the question of the thread was what song or artist that sounds
like prince but isn't prince is your non-prince Prince fix.
Damn what did i just say.
For me it would definitely be El debarge's my heart belongs to you
from his after the storm album. It sounds like the kind of funk
prince should have been doing in the early nineties.
