Dear New Generation: When an artist develops a signature sound that shows originality. They tend to make music/vocals sound a certain way. This is why we hear people say "that song sounds like a _____ song" . Examples of artist who have a signature sound: Michael Jackson, James Brown, Madonna, Beyoncé, Mariah Carey, Whitney Houston, Sade, Prince, The Beatles, Timberland & Missy Elliot. So, in conclusion, don't be mad when someone you Stan for has the sound of an artist that came before them.
