Prince played everything from funk rhythm to Hendrix-level solos. For funk: add 'funky rhythm guitar', 'staccato', 'wah pedal'. For rock solos: 'electric guitar solos', 'distorted', 'Hendrix-influenced', 'virtuosic'. For Purple Rain ballad style: 'emotional guitar solo', 'soaring', 'expressive'. Always pair guitar with falsetto vocals.
Prince blended genres within single songs — funk meets rock meets pop meets psychedelia. Use multiple genre tags: 'funk-rock', 'synth-pop', 'psychedelic'. Add 'eclectic' and 'genre-blending'. His funk is also more sensual and playful than James Brown-style funk. Include 'sensual', 'playful', 'cheeky' for his personality.
Kiss is minimal: 'minimal funk-pop', 'sparse beat', 'falsetto male vocals', 'bass-driven', 'stripped-down'. Remove any tags about layered or dense production. The charm is in what's NOT there — a simple drum machine, a bassline, and that falsetto. Add 'playful', 'cheeky', 'infectious groove'.
Yes — many of his best songs do exactly this. Use: 'rock-funk fusion', 'electric guitar', 'falsetto male vocals', 'synth-funk', 'dramatic yet groovy'. Add 'anthemic' for the big moments and 'tight groove' for the funky foundation. The key is balancing rock's intensity with funk's rhythm. Think Let's Go Crazy.
