Laura Mvula

Not sure if this belongs in associated artists or here?

I looked up Laura Mvula because she's from my hometown, and because of the Prince connection. Absolutely blown away by her music, but does anyone else think the guitar on this (Overcome) sounds soooo Prince? Not just in style, but in technique too. I think it's supposed to be Nile Rodgers, but wow!

I love her debut album. I think this new one, which comes out next month will be bigger.

.

As for the guitar, I think it sounds like signature Niles rhythm guitar to me. Niles is extremely talented and was respected by Prince while he was living.

Change it one more time..

I love her. Prince tweeted a link to the song you gave a link to. Shame it has less than a million views, while Adele (no hate) has a billion.

I sense a mission for the purple party people (not in the UKIP sense). Spread the artists he loved!
