Singer-songwriter Stella Prince has released a Gen Z folk interpretation of Buffalo Springfield's 1966 protest anthem, "For What It's Worth."
"I wanted to record my own version of For What It's Worth because I truly believe it is the most timely song for 2026," says Prince. "It resonates not only with me, but everyone in my generation - Gen Z - as a wake up call to where we are in these wild times. It's as relevant now as it was in 1966. And recording it in Laurel Canyon 60 years after its original release made it all the more full circle."
"For What It's Worth," written by Stephen Stills, was first recorded by Buffalo Springfield on December 5, 1966. It was released as a single on Atco Records in December 1966. It peaked at No. 7 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in the spring of 1967.
The song was later added to the March 1967 second pressing of their first album, Buffalo Springfield.
Prince has officially partnered with Taylor Guitars as a Brand Ambassador and recently performed "For What It's Worth" as part of its "Our Neck of the Woods" series, recorded on the factory floor of Taylor Guitars headquarters. Her live performance video is set to drop Thursday, May 28.
