Though
Lorde, the 17-year-old rising pop star, hails from Auckland, New Zealand, she looks
like she could be the long-lost daughter of Cuban-American pop star Gloria
Estefan, 56.
Here’s a look at other artists who appear to have been
separated at birth:
Drake, Al B. Sure! & Christopher Williams
Hip-hop star Drake, 27, may have still been in diapers when ‘80s “New Jack Swing” stars Al B. Sure!, 45, and Christopher Williams, 46, were popular, but Drake’s urban sound that merges hip-hop and R&B is directly descended from them.
In
fact, as the photos above illustrate, Drake looks like he could be related
to Al B. Sure! and Christopher Williams as well.
Janelle Monae and Anita Baker
Anita
Baker, 56, and Janelle Monae, 28, have a lot more in common other than being
dead ringers for each other.
Both are from the Midwest. Baker was born in Toledo and was
raised in Detroit. Monae was born and raised in Kansas City, Kan.
Baker
got her start in jazz, while Monae started off in experimental funk and
R&B. Both are improvisational, sometimes abstract forms of music.
If
a movie is ever made of Baker’s life, Monae should be the first in line to
portray the soulful songstress.
Lady Gaga and Dale Bozzio
Much
has been written about Lady Gaga’s influences – musical and
stylistic. Gaga, 27, is often compared to Madonna, Elton John and
even Grace Jones.
But one influence that isn’t mentioned as often is Dale
Bozzio, 58, lead singer of ‘80s new-wave group Missing Persons. (Bozzio was
also briefly signed as a solo artist to Prince’s Paisley Park Records in the late '80s.)
Bozzio may not be the first name that comes to mind when Gaga’s influences are cited, but there’s no denying their uncanny resemblance.
