Mann i really really love this dude .... He's damm good vocal beast , hes the rhythm and spiritual embodiment to the song .... Hats off to him .Hes awesome
He seems more free that he broke free the chains ⛓ torture from fake zealot church hypocrites IMO. Sure he was amazing in gospel but l see he is more at ease and I'm so happy for him he could be himself.l felt free when l left the church. I was so lost and confused now that l thought and learnedon my own about who God is felt more whole.l was brainwashed by religion. IMO religion blinds you, and are rules of what man says. Only God can judge, and man's judgment doesn't intimidate me. Because l know those are the ones with the most skeletons in their closet IJS 🤔
Thank you. I put everything I had into this project and I am so happy its being received so well. We were all very nervous as Prince in our minds is one of the greatest. Feel free to share 💜

I USUALLY DON'T WATCH ANY VIDEOS WITH PURPLE RAIN BECAUSE IT MAKES ME SAD TO HEAR IT BUT I HAD TO WATCH THIS ONE BECAUSE OF TONEX!! I LOVE THIS VIDEO! WILL WATCH IT SEVERAL TIMES!
West Coast Pedal Boards Thank you guys so much!!! I am looking forward to getting my beautiful Pedal board from you guys! Thank you for believing in me.
Thank you! I did my best to honor Prince. I studied a few of his lines and did my best to capture his emotion. I am overwhelmed by the love from the guitar community.
Out in the box! Ya decía que eras el mejor vocalista e intérprete, debería estar en las mejores canciones reversionadas, sin duda , lo mejor!!! Ah me olvidaba buen guitarrista 😁😁
Amazing! Musicians are on point & B.Slade/Tonex is incredible beyond words. I'm all for indie or underground artists, but someone tell me how is B.Slade not world famous???!!! Truly one of the greatest vocalists EVER! RIP PRINCE
Wow, I had forgotten how good you were/are!!! I will always love your Lifehouse/Cold Play genres but when music is done brilliantly there is no denying the talent and artistry. Thanks Matt what an awesome gift of music. Please never give up on it....
Wow Thank you, for the kind words. I can't describe to you how much it means to me. I will never stop chasing this musical endeavor. People like you give me strength. Please come to one of my shows.

You're a damn freaking talented son of a miracle guitar mother man! This is so awesome, it's like the universe tickling you with a feather in the back of your neck. It's like the best trip you can have when you woke up 48 hours ago and you're with insomnia and a headache that doesn't go away with anything. It feels like you're floating and all gravity laws dissappear. On the other hand, the voice of B Slade it's like a dream come true, the record he has and what he does with it is really impressive. Definitely the mixture of your guitar skills and his marbelous voice gives us the perfect mix. Thanks man, I trully thank you. A big hug from Argentina.
imma leave my man and run out in the streets after that man with the GOLD GIUTAR!!!! DUDE PURE TRUTH.... i can feel the rain running on my face!!!! 😢😢😢😭😭😭😢😢😭😢😢😭
Appreciate you greatly. Covid really hurt the music industry and the world. Hopefully things get better and we return to normal. Only than we can begin to tour and play music live again safely 🙏🏻.
Jonathan Burgos thank for the kind words. I worked really hard on the mix. When you work with this much talent its makes my job as the engineer so much easier! Please help us share this with the world. facebook.com/theelevation/posts/1461418777253679

Pretty Boy thank you! That means alot! I put so much work into this project. So did everyone you see in the Video in particular Bslade. I am so thankful everyone is so loving and kind.
