I don't see the comparisons.

Is he going to sell out in the US, absolutely. I don't think anyone is saying his fanbase isn't fervent (the many posts can testify to it).

But people are making Prince, Zappa, and now Sade comparisons off someone who dropped a GREAT album...over a decade ago. And that great album wasn't a groundbreaking revolutionary album(of which the previously mentioned artists have in spades)...just exquisitely done soul music in an era where motherfuckers got sloppy.

His fanbase should be excited. But the prince.org fanboy level of devotion is a bit too much imho
