beyonce

a lot of them

Every flamboyant clout chaser who said they're inspired by Prince. (OFC they claim this when he dies.) Liars.

H.E.R

Jason Derulo

Artists that're honestly influenced by Prince
Harts.
Steve Lacy
Kendrick

What artists are you referring to with this comment

Frank Ocean. Off top. Steve Lacy too tbh but there's clearly a direct musical influence Prince had on Lacy's music. Guys like Thug, Frank and others only gave Prince his respect after he was alive. Then they say their main influence wasn't even the music.

Justin Timberlake
LCD Soundsystem
Beck
Alicia Keyes
Bruno Mars
Robyn
Pharrell
Maxwell
The Dream
Usher
Cee-Lo

Steve'Lacy's Guide & Lay Me Down sound heavily heavily inspired by Prince

can’t believe people have barely mentioned The Weeknd in here

carti and lancey

He's mentioned twice on the first page

maybe they're not directly influenced by him in terms of musical elements but inspired by his creative spirit, which translates into their attitude towards making music

Facts. I was surprised you had to be the first to say Justin Timberlake

one that’s not as popular is Ro James

Be Mine is pretty much just a prince impression but holy f*** its perfect

lol great minds think alike

basically the whole alt r&b troupe

remember when a writer started "PBR&B" as a 'genre' and indie people fresh off of foster the people spread it like wildfire because they were scared of losing the mgmt majority

deeznuts

Kanye. He said he channeled prince for jail. Said prince “gave him that song”

Agreed! We can hear the influence even on Lacy's older work as well
