“Every lyric of this is from a Prince song” exclaims Felix Stallings. The Housecat is going on 10 lives with the release of his new LP He Was King. It features 12 synth-pop, soon-to-be-classics with a fun, campy electro twist as only Felix can summon. With goodies like “KickDrum” and “Spank You Very Much”, it was made for the heart and the floor. And to think “We All Wanna Be Prince” was a last minute addition that almost never was! Fooling around in the studio, his engineer came up with a kick and stab that was pure Prince and just like the Purple One, Felix recorded his vocals in half time, sped them up in the computer giving them an “Erotic City” delivery over a classic “Dirty Mind” feel. They realized they were on to something and so did Felix’s friends who contributed remixes. Joachim Garraud, Paper Faces (aka Stuart Price & Adam Blake), Danny Howells, Italy’s port-royal and Grey Ghost & Deth Hertz keep the paisley flowing with 9 great tweaky electro house versions. “We All Wanna Be Prince” and He Was King are out now on Nettwerk.
“I wrote this song because even 25 years later We All Wanna Be Prince. Prince is one of the most brilliant, talented, and influential musicians of all time and without him many contemporary musicians would be nowhere.” – Felix Da Housecat
