The influence of So Blue by Prince on Steve

The influence of So Blue by Prince on Steve

I'm aware Steve already gets compared to Prince a lot, but I hear the influence on So Blue more than anywhere else. From the guitar playing and layering, to the vocal style and falsetto (that borderline feels like the blueprint for songs like Amber and Give You the World), to the DIY and personal feeling, to the honest and sensual lyrics, the formula is all there.

I think if Steve ever did a cover of this song it would be incredibly fitting.

Anyways, kind of a nothingburger post, but I just thought it would be fun to share this comparison and maybe put some people onto this song, because it really is a must listen if you're a fan of either artist and haven't heard it yet.
