Prince influences New Artist

 

Although we lost one of our legendary performers, the artist known as Prince, his music and legacy will live on for generations to come.  Prince's music is timeless and so powerful that it has even inspired young musicians and even artists from other genres of music.... such as songwriter, producer, keyboardist, singer and rapper Mr. Boom Boom Bang.



In the winter of 2015 the artist, Mr. BBB released a single titled "Let's Make Love Like The 90s" and DJs, critics and taste-makers compared Mr. Boom Boom Bang's vocals on the chorus to a late 80s / early 90s Prince!  When asked, in several interviews Mr. Boom Boom Bang explained that he was indeed inspired by the vocals of Prince which influenced him to sing the hook of the song in the style of the late "Purple Rain" singer.  


Listen to the song for yourself at the link below and voice your opinions.  Does the young artist's singing on the chorus of "Let's Make Love Like The 90s" remind you of an early 90s Prince?  Check it out and weigh in.

Prince Vs. The Music Industry (by Gerard Desir)

Music business advanced class. Many years ago Prince had an issue with Warner brothers regarding his recording contract. He would write slave on the side of his face which prompted him to do something that would make him the most hated man in the music business. He changed his name to a symbol. Then he released material under that name which infuriated the label. They took him to court and tried to sue him for millions of dollars. They said that he breached his contract because he was recording music with another label while still being signed to Warner Brothers. Prince/Symbol told them that I signed the contract with you as Prince the recording artist. I now go by the name of Symbol so therefore I am free to sign with another label. Thinking that they had him, Warner Brothers then told him that he was still obligated to make five more albums before he was released from his contract. Prince/Symbol merely went into his vault and gave them five albums worth of music. The rest is music history  Open your eyes to the business of music people. Nuff said.
