When it comes to music, it’s often said that ‘less is more’, and Janelle Monae has revealed that Prince’s advice to his band was often to “cut everything down in half”.
Speaking to Zane Lowe on Apple Music, the star recalled: "That's what Prince would say to his band. He would be like, sometimes when people have jitters or are nervous or whatever, they play too fast or they're talking fast. He's like, 'Cut everything down in half.' And I take that approach in life - cut everything down in half. Sometimes you’ll have to say no and you’ll miss out on opportunities that you think could have taken you to the next level because it’s always like ‘what if’. That fear, you gotta deal with that.”
