In hisRolling Stone Music Nowinterview, Saadiq says the two artists bonded over their shared gospel influences.
I think more of his soul came from his gospel roots, not Prince, says Saadiq.
But Prince had a huge gospel background, too.
He was able to camouflage it a lot in his songwriting.
And I think DAngelo is the same way, too.
Elsewhere in his newinterview, Saadiq talks aboutworking with BeyonceonCowboy Carterand much more.
