Displaying items by tag: Van Hunt

Van Hunt uses his velvet-smooth voice to stunning effect in his rhymic, triste-laden melodies.  He is something like a cross between Thelonious Monk and Prince - throaty and suave, yet artistic, bold, and (notably) a little bit weird.  His alternative style is his strength, however. 

Like Maxwell, D’Angelo, Anthony Hamilton, Jill Scott, Musiq, and Macy Gray, Van Hunt is a member of the “neo-soul” generation - a new generation of young artists who draw on R&B’s rich past yet give it their own unique spin.
