What happened? Why did they delay it? They already have tracks from it up on Pandora so I assumed it was almost ready to come out. | |

Did something happen w/ the Blue Note deal? Somebody spill  I never met you, but I LOVE you & I will forever!! Thank you for being YOU - my little Princey, the best to EVER do it | |

Blue Note was a good mix for him, especially if he wants a touring bankroll, i hope he isnt going with another major label even Blue Note is owned by Capitol, Blue Note has their own bills to pay, i hope he's not selling out!

Van Hunt and EMI split, new album without a label
Writer: Jeremy Goldmeier News, Published online on 04 Dec 2007 Last Friday, Paste received a notice from Blue Note Records stating that the label would not be releasing Van Hunt's upcoming third album, Popular. After inquiring further, we received the following statement from a publicist at Capitol Records, which, like Blue Note, is owned by EMI Music: "Van Hunt and EMI/Blue Note Records have mutually agreed to part ways. Van Hunt would like to sincerely thank EMI for their support over the years. With everyone's commitment and dedication from both Capitol Records and Blue Note Records, Hunt has enjoyed incredible critical acclaim as well as multiple Grammy nominations and a Grammy win. Plans are currently being made for the release of Van Hunt's third CD, 'Popular;' the label to be announced." Popular was formerly slated to appear in stores on Jan. 15 via Blue Note. Hunt's previous two albums, Van Hunt and On the Jungle Floor, had arrived on Capitol Records. In an interview published in the current issue of Paste, Hunt had this to say on his relationship with the music industry: “I have a temper I could learn to sit on a little better. It has certainly surfaced in dealing with the business of music. Every day, somebody in the business wants me to change something about who I am so they can have an easier time dealing with me. There are evidently lots of people who would like to see Van Hunt become a little more like everybody else. That’s not going to happen.” As Capitol's statement mentions, no new label or release date is set for Popular. Blue Note's official website for the album is still online, however. We'll have more on this story as it develops. http://www.pastemagazine....ut_a_label | |

This is bullshit! He's such a good artist, I want him to have a label to call home! It's so shitty, seriously SHITTY, that completely untalented tards like Brickney Spaz & Assfart Simpleton can release turd after turd yet can't sing into a live mic to save their lives. Yet someone like Van who writes/plays/sings & performs awesomely has to fight like hell for his. It ain't right man, I know it's an old song & the way of this fucked up world but it AIN'T RIGHT. I got the EP but I want a full album up in hea, fuck that.  I never met you, but I LOVE you & I will forever!! Thank you for being YOU - my little Princey, the best to EVER do it | |

 It is not known why FuNkeNsteiN capitalizes his name as he does, though some speculate sunlight deficiency caused by the most pimpified white guy afro in Nordic history.

This truly is a travesty.
Good on him for staying true to himself though. If there's any justice he will be come out on top. I bet his shitty label wanted him to "collaborate" with some two-bit rapper... just because he's black and "that's what those black guys do, right?" ... I wish these moronic executives would grow a backbone and support an actual artist for a change. [Edited 12/15/07 14:26pm] | |

[Edited 12/15/07 14:26pm] I dobut Blue Note would want a rapper on a track, my worry is that he may want to do something like that and sell himself out at this point. Im hoping he wont give in to the mainstream, you see you can be mainstream without letting yourself be "Mainstreamed" as said by Dr.West.

The sad thing is, I don't see many labels backing a black man who plays rock and funk... do you? | |

Oh not at all, i agree on that im more thinking that Blue Note might have wanted to tone that down not necessarily make him hip hop, but i dont doubt a major label wanting to turn him into someone that has tracks featuring ....so and so, i just hope he doesnt fall into that web, because theres no getting out of it. Yeah its the same old story with formulas at labels, thats why people like Rashaan Patterson are fresh air in the world of Omarion and Usher, im just waiting for real rb band to get some support, band meaning, not 4 guys singing harmonies about screwing some girl, im talking instruments and playing.
