Van Hunt -- Sexy (I'm Not Known For Dancin')

http://www.vanhunt.com/


This song is ridiculously good. Prince wishes he could have made this. Seriously.

Thoughts?

Don't have to hear Prince. It's better than him.

biggrin For real.

Oh, and Robin Thicke doesn't hold a candle to Van Hunt. (Though I do enjoy a bit of his stuff.)

Its Prince.org. ("Prince" dot org.)

I feel justified.

Plus, I still think Prince is still pretty decent. Not great at all, but at least average. However, this is where it's at now. IMO only.

It's something about this guy that I just don't get. I think his music/songwriting is good, but his vocals annoy me. He's pitchy and his phrasing is so awkward to me. I guess that's why we all have a choice?

It's just okay, kind of "blah" to me. Just makes me wish Bilal would finally come out with a new album already. shrug

Van Hunt is extremely talented but he just got to
grind and get his brand out. He may just have to
do it the independent route and tour his ass off.

Yea Van Hunt is in my top 5 favorite artists along with Prince, Hendrix, Meshell Ndegeocello, and Sly. This track is slamming!

Have U heard Bilal's "Love For Sale" album? Great stuff! Why his company feels the material is unmarketable and will probably remain unreleased is beyond me. Excellent album!

Bilal and Van Hunt are both great artists IMO. Not overrated at all.

They can't write a song.
Van Hunt wrote some songs early, then he later felt he should be the center stage and it has been down hill since.

Bilal, what does he do besides sing off key?

I dig P and actually liked his last project but Chelsea Rodgers
was wack. I don't ever wanna see him attempt disco again.

Yes I have heard it and yes I agree, it is a very good album, but he needs another one out too. "Love For Sale" was recorded a few years ago...

Yep. neutral Glad others like it though...I guess.
I'm sick and tired of the Prince fans being sick and tired of the Prince fans that are sick and tired!

Wow your basing your average comment off Chelsea Rodgers (which is very good dance record) I did not know one song could sum up a whole 30-year career. The truth of the matter is from P's last CD he still knows his way around a groove which most artist today would not know a groove if it fell from the sky and hit them in the head. (Lady GAGA anyone )

I like Van Hunt he is very talented but let's be honest with his last record company releashes he was not exactly out promoting his CDs with concerts and personal appearences brother's work ethic is questionalbe and now a days you need it to move CDs

He has a long way to go before he is at P's level with output and work ethic.
