Van Hunt Prepping For Releasing Self-Promoted CD

Grammy Award winning R&B singer Van Hunt is readying to comeback to mainstream, after rewriting his career graph as an independent artist.

Hunt’s last release was a 4 track digital EP, The Popular Machine, back in summer 2007. During the same time, he declared an unabridged album, Popular, but the record was never released due to problems at his record label Blue Note/EMI.

Hunt in due course stated that the label owns the master recording and chose not to sell it back to him at an affordable price, and he “didn’t think that they had enough money” to promote the album properly.

Now on his own schedule, Hunt plans to release a new self-promoted CD May 8.

“I’m thankful for your patience during the wait for new music,” Says Hunt “I’ve been working on a brand new collection. It’s close, but not quite ready. In the meantime, I’m offering a salve, a few rare items from the vault. I picked them out myself and named them ‘Use In Case of Emergency.’”
