He sounds a lot like Prince on his song "seconds of pleasure"

I also hear Curtis Mayfield in his voice. The dude is hella talented. He's gonna blow up on '04. WHUR here in DC has been playing the SHIT outta "seconds of pleasure"

...where has Van Hunt been all of my life?

I just read in the Mpls. City Pages paper that he was playing at the Quest this week (Tuesday, the 17th). It also said that Wendy Melvoin was playing in his band. It says, "The creatively chosen instrumental support includes Matt Chamberlain, Patrick Warren, Wendy Melvoin, and Lennie Castro."



Sucks because I leave Mpls. on Tuesday dammit!

disregard my post if this is already posted somewhere else edit
