Nonpoint - When Doves Cry (Prince Cover) Official Music Video

NONPOINT releases their revision of "When Doves Cry". The single was originally released by Prince and the Revolution in 1984 and was one of the hit singles from the album Purple Rain.
Vocalist Elias Soriano says, “Our fans throughout the years have always had a quiet romance with the songs we like to cover. Seeing that our biggest showing in that category, our cover of Phil Collins ‘In The Air Tonight,’ was a suggestion from a friend and fan of the band, we thought it only fitting we let all our fans have a chance to throw their hats in the ring this time. So in the middle of a global pandemic, we threw up a bracket style voting tournament with a list of contenders from Metallica to DMX. As fans voted over a few weeks, it was exciting to watch it go from 16 songs to the final two, Metallica’s - Nothing Else Matters vs Prince’s - When Doves Cry. When they chose Prince, the real work began. We went through version after version. We knew we had to do it justice in the biggest way we could as tribute to Prince and still make it Nonpoint. I’m happy to report from initial response among the few who have heard it is exciting and we look forward to our fans singing it for years to come.”
Dr. Fink of Prince & The Revolution reacted by saying, "I just listened to Doves and thought it was great!"
He adds, "Nonpoint's revision of When Doves Cry by Prince and The Revolution rocks like a champion bullfighter slaying a prized bull!"
Ruthless EP available to stream on all platforms.

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥, the band is great but the singers overall cadence is so insanely good on this track it overshadows everything.

[@carolinegarner906]

Just like the original, this gives me chills. Metal head at heart, but have always been a die hard Prince fan. Thank you for doing this justice! RIP Purple one💜🎵🎶🎼

[@wickidbloodymetalqueen7901]

I have Prince's name and his symbol on my leg!! It's not quite finished!!! I need about 600 bucks to put a quote under the symbol

Prince was not metal music, but Prince was 1000% metal.

[@lauras.6339]

Absolutely agree. I was a Prince addict - still have the purple addiction. And this was *our song*. So you know If I approve - it's REALLY good, and it is.
