Filed under: Concerts and Tours , Exclusive , New Releases Kevin Winter, Getty Images Prince once changed his name to the Artist Formerly Known As Prince, but at this stage of his long and still-going-strong career, he's the Artist Who Might As Well Be Known As James Brown . Prince knows that a pop career is ephemeral, and that when his fellow 80s-era stars go back on the road, with or without a new [...]

New music from the Bay ... so necessary.

Frank Yang Not that he's looking to abdicate the title of one of the most multi-talented - if, er, a bit eccentric - artists of our time, but if you were to nominate heirs apparent for Prince , then Janelle Monáe would have to be right at the top of the list. I don't know how her guitar chops are, but as far as being a singer/songwriter/visionary who effortlessly blends soul, funk and rock and outrageous showmanship at a ridiculously young age - she's just 25 - Monáe has got the goods. [...]
The Family - one of those strange creatures flung together by Prince when he was at the height of his powers - are back, back, back . Only, erm, they're now trading as fDeluxe. Sure, The Family was a better name for a cult than a band. But fDeluxe? It sounds like a probiotic product. To give the band their due, they're under no starry-eyed confuison about their creation myth: Paul Peterson: [Prince] wanted to create something that would be funky but get into some of that Duran Duran money at the same [...]
Filed under: News , Exclusive , Q + A Steven Parke In the mid-'80s, Prince was unstoppable. The songs were coming so fast and furious that he couldn't record and release them all himself, and he needed proxy bands to disseminate his poppy punk-funk brilliance. After the breakup of one such outfit, Morris Day and the Time -- the group he and the Revolution [...]

It's been a strange 20 years or so for Prince Rogers Nelson (the man formerly known as The Artist Formerly Known as Prince , and now simply, once again, Prince). Well documented label issues and litigation and other sideshows have at times during that stretch rendered his music an aftherthought, while at other times seem to have sapped his creativity. It's not unfair to say that his output has been spotty in places, for a variety of reasons and not unlike a number of others who saw their creative zentihs early on in their careers. Yet, his [...]
Sartorially speaking, I've come a long way since the '80s. But then, haven't we all? While my older brother Jeff was rocking a blend of Ready for the World and Purple Rain , Jheri curl and all (he and his friends entered a high-school "air band" contest as Prince and the Revolution performing "Let's Go Crazy" but lost to a bunch of toga-wearing future frat boys mouthing the Isley Brothers' "Shout"), I was going for something a little more uptown elegant. My personal fashion icon: soul singer Jeffrey Osborne, whose [...]

Every decade there is one or two male Pop/R&B vocalists that captivate the audiences of women everywhere. A mainstream trend that started back in the day with Elvis, then Michael Jackson, and more recently with Justin Timberlake and Usher, the artist needs to be good looking, have a killer voice, and be able to dance - [...]

Every decade there is one or two male Pop/R&B vocalists that captivate the audiences of women everywhere. A mainstream trend that started back in the day with Elvis , then Michael Jackson , and more recently with Justin Timberlake and Usher , the artist needs to be good looking, have a killer voice, and be able to dance - and by dance I'm not talking the truffle shuffle, I'm talking about real, smooth, dancing. Let us introduce to you the next big thing: Leonard Friend . Once frontman for Indie Rock band [...]

Bad Rabbits are a Boston 5-piece who combine elements of funk, hip hop and indie rock into a genre all their own. They released their debut EP Stick Up Kids in 2009 and have seemingly been on the road ever since. They've played shows with such diverse acts as Travie McCoy, Mike Posner and Far East Movement as well as gracing the stages of the Warped Tour for the entire summer of 2011. Influences such as Prince and Parliament Funkadelic shine through [...]
Some might say that 34 seems a bit "past one's prime" to have started a singing career. For Al Jarreau, that's never seemed to matter. Having been the only vocalist in history to garner Grammy Awards

Prince Wadada's ragga style meet Coca's soulful beats. I think it's the first collaboration between these two Angolan artists. Have a listen: Sem Massada O estilo ragga do Prince Wadada com os soul beats do Coca. Acho que é a primeira vez que estes dois artistas colaboram. Disse assim o Coca: " He heyyy!! Hoje é sexta e como sempre dou um coxe de soul de borla...esta semana bumbei com o mo Faray...Prince Wadada que escreveu um som cheio de alma...eu acho que ta uma grande malha [...]

Gaelic Football (look it up) player Austin O'Malley once said, "Those who think it is permissible to tell white lies soon grow color-blind." There is certain truth to this, as lying in whatever form should be avoided at all costs - but I'm not here to have a philosophical discussion. The thing about white lies is that they are, for the most part, well-intended. Often presented out of respect for someone, or in order to avoid conflict, white lies are the dirty truths of universal language. This idea, that a simple lie is sometimes better than the truth, is the basis [...]

It is always sad when a band splits up - unless of course the solo projects than spin out from its demise are by and large amazing. The solo project in question here is by a man recording as Pearl Fiction . Swedish pop band Zeitgeist split in 2009 (AND YES WE ARE JUST GOING THROUGH THEIR WIKIPEDIA PAGE PULLING OUT THE KEY PIECES OF INFORMATION HERE) after a string of electropop successes with their blend of music, performance and art. One third of the band, Pearl, is now carving a rather impressive solo career [...]
