While Michael Jackson has certainly been enjoying yet another revival in his influence on a younger generation of artists, quietly Prince inspired cuts have also been popping up among a new crop too, from Gene Nobel to Marsha Ambrosius, and all of them killing it. Joining this crop with a hat tip to both Prince and Maxwell in this delectable ditty is UK dream Christian Gregory with the atmospheric funk ballad “Won’t Get Nowhere.” The multi-instrumentalist singer-songwriter had already won us over with his groovetastic “Count on You” earlier this year, but that blue-eyed soul confection hadn’t fully prepared us for the moving “Won’t Get Nowhere” or really his whole Movement Records Count On You EP available right now on iTunes. I promise you that you “won’t get nowhere” without this EP’s top to bottom bringer of smiles, toe-taps, smooth grooves and romantic swoons. Get you some.
