Prince would have turned 58 today, so in honor of his birthday W magazine recruited several A-list celebrities to cover some of the legendary singer's famous songs.

Kit Harington, Ethan Hawke, Cindy Crawford, Chris Evans, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Rami Malek, Elle Fanning, Nate Parker, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Tye Sheridan, Melissa Benoist and Anya Taylor-Joy all perform their favorite Prince songs, each giving his or her own twist on the tunes.

Most kick of the video by reading Prince's iconic lyrics, but by the end of the video some of the stars belt out his songs like they're starring in their own rock concert. We're looking at you, Evans. The results are nothing short of adorable. Game of Thrones star Harington kicks off the video with a reading of "Little Red Corvette", but at the end he lets out the cutest little giggle.

Fanning surprises everyone when she (successfully) belts out Prince's "Kiss." Who knew she was such a talented singer?!

Ever since Prince died from an opioid overdose in April, stars have been paying tribute by hosting last-minute dance parties and putting on performances of his songs. More official tributes have been given, too, at awards shows such as the Billboard Music Awards where Madonna performed. The BET Awards announced the first performers for its Prince tribute, which so far include Sheila E., D'Angelo, The Roots and Janelle Monae.

Watch the cute video to see some of your favorite stars honor Prince.
