Hold is Against me by Brit Brit is such a sad attempt to replicate Purple Rain.

Yamaha by The Dream sounds like it could be on any 80's Prince album.

It's like, the people who always make these kind of threads aren't true connoissuers of the mplsound to begin with, and they always post shit that doesn't make any sense by comparison.

I'm always interested in something new, especially stuff like this, but those who want to know already know.

Alas, the title is 'prince sound', and his sound ranges dramatically, so I wanted to resist the urge to say something negative, but most of these are fucking stupid. Especially the songs listed by the thread starter.

Co-sign.

I don't hear a Prince sound in many of the songs listed....Candyman? Dear lie? Not that kind?

Seems like every song ever released has that Prince sound!

I have to agree with u and mplsfunq, there is distinctive Prince sound other than the minneapolis sound..hence because it is the most recognizeble Prince sound of his creation. All those other songs he posted

We know that Prince has an array of music; however the Prince sound...IS THE Minneapolis Sound. U cannot really expand beyond that.

Mick said he wrote this song because of I Wanna Be Your Lover

This had alot of Prince and a little bit of The Time in here. I love it.

For whatever reason, I hear a little bit of that Andre Cymone in there somewhere also.

I know the song don't have any of the prince sound but, the last like 40 seconds does. It's been said that questlove along a few others recorded that at Paisley Park and they used some of Prince's old equipment that was in the basement.

I hear a little bit of Prince along with some of that Cherrelle and Alexander O'Neal in there.

I like this. It also kinda has that Gap Band "Early in the Morning" feel to it.

Yeah, that remix is tight!

Please be more specific. There's too many artists that she's taking from for one in particualr to stand out.

Didn't Prince play in that song though?

Yes, he played on that song not the last 40 seconds.

Beck's "Debra" off of Midnight Vultures sounds so much like a Prince track that I always considered it an homage. A few other songs on that album seem to have a Prince influence, but none as obvious as that one.

Shango done beat me to it. Nobody sounds like Prince more than Ebonee Webb and Bobby Nunn.

Ebonee Webb for sure with Something About You, Anybody Wanna Dance,

and Here My Love Is. Micheal Winston had a nice falsetto.

Love Will Never Do Without You, Miss You Much, Escapade, If It Takes All Night, He Doesn't Even Know I'm Alive, What Have You Done For Me Lately, This Time, Luv 2 Luv, You Aint Right-Janet Jackson

@Janet Well her producers were 2 members of The Time

@Michael: Dangerous (Which has Why You Wanna Trip On Me and In The Closet) as a whole has that Prince sound. The 1st time I ever heard Supafly Sister (surprisingly it was on the radio once) I thought it was Prince attemting Camille again lol
