Controversy – A Tribute to Prince – Soulwax – Starfish & Coffee (Cover)

Posted on | February 2, 2008 by Mark | Comments

“James Brown may have been the hardest-working man in show business, but no one in the history of rock & roll as covered more ground than Prince.

His music has spanned several styles: From his early 80’s materail, rooted in R&B, funk and soul, he has constantly expanded his musical palette throughout his illustrious career, absorbing many other genres including New Wave, pop, rock, blues, jazz and hip hop.

It is this diversity and willingness to experiment that has made him one of the most influential artists of the last two decades.

On this collection we have compiled a selection of classic cover versions of his biggest hits, including ‘Purple Rain’, ‘Controversy’, ‘When Doves Cry’ and ‘The Ballad of Dorothy Parker’ by a host of major artists from soul legend D’Angelo and reggaes latest sensations The Dynamic to dance stars Soulwax, Osunlade & Rob Mello through to Dubsteps’ Kode 9.”
