Van Hunt knows how to stretch.
A multi-talented, multi-disciplined musician and producer, the Ohio native already has a Grammy award lingering on his mantelpiece.
Continuing to challenge himself, new solo record 'The Fun Rises, The Fun Sets' is due to be released shortly.
It's another slice of flamboyant Afro-futurism, with shades of Prince in its luscious, future-minded funk. The material is at times reminiscent of Andre 3000 less in sound, more in approach as Van Hunt strives to push back boundaries.
Taken from the new album, 'Teach Me A New Language' is like a living cell continually sub-dividing and growing outward, the sighing, gospel-tinged vocals and fluid guitar lines mingle to produce something intoxicating.
