Is Jack Splash the genre defining heir to Prince’s throne?

Is Jack Splash the genre defining heir to Prince’s throne?

The producer extraordinaire who has produced some of the most electro filled funk and soul records for Alicia Keys, Cee-Lo, Missy Elliott, Jazmine Sullivan, R-Kelly and T-Pain, is working his way up to a debut solo album.Taking a departure from his band Plantlife who released their last album in  Time Traveller in 2008, his solo album will focus on Splash on vocals.

The album is to be released on J Records, who have taken an interest in Jack Splash’s sound after recording with labelmate Alicia Keys.  Some of the most creative minds in the music industry have spoke highly of Splash’s sound.  R-Kelly calls him “the future of music”, Mos Def says he’s the next generation of funk and Missy Elliott says he’s the next Prince.

Regardless of the comparisons, the music speaks for itself. The following track is a new song featuring Kelis called “In The Future”,  off of a series of mixtapes leading up to the full length album “Technology and Love Might Save Us All…”

Independent Artists and iTunes in a digital world

Independent Artists and iTunes in a digital world

Many recording artists have still been living by the age old formula of the recording industry. This formula consists of recording an albums worth of music, complete with a few handpicked songs that the radio MIGHT play.  After said album is completed, the process then begins to “get discovered”. Perhaps a close relative is a somehow affiliated with some important figure at a record label or radio station. The problem with this scenario is, often times no matter how good your music is, you end up looking for validation of your own talent. Solution: Create your own buzz. Now with the help of technology, artists have the same means and resources that the most sophisticated major record label has to expose an artist to a worldwide audience.

What does this mean?

It means that as an independent artist with the help of companies like Tunecore you have the ability to sell your music through iTunes and other online music stores. Right along the likes of the likes of the Kanye West’s, U2′s and Beyonce’s of the world, your music can be made available.


Tunecore offers you to keep your 100% of your royalties for your music through sales through such sources as iTunes, Amazon.com, Napster, Rhapsody and more. One of many resources for independent artists to spread their music to the world.
