Singer Van Hunt Returns with New Album, “What Were You Hoping For?” on Sept. 27th, 2011
ADDITIONAL SONGS TO BE RELEASED ONLINE
IN ADVANCE OF MUCH ANTICIPATED NEW ALBUM;
“WHAT WERE YOU HOPING FOR?”ARRIVES SEPTEMBER 27
Grammy Award-winning singer/songwriter/producer Van Hunt makes his long awaited return this week with the online premiere of “June,” his first new music in more than three years.
“June” heralds the hugely anticipated release of Hunt’s extraordinary new album, What Were You Hoping For? . The album – a joint venture between the Nashville-based Thirty Tigers and Hunt’s own label, godless-hotspot – arrives in stores and at all digital retailers on September 27th.
“‘June’ was written to mirror a person’s complicated moodiness,” Hunt says. “Some people are called pessimists because of their persistent dourness – but I think they are optimists. Sorely disappointed optimists. The song is my attempt to make one, in particular, smile.”
Hunt will unveil a series of new tracks each month leading up to release of What Were You Hoping For? with free downloads available at a range of blogs and music websites. Among them will be the album’s first single, “Eyes Like Pearls,” which will impact multi-format radio outlets nationwide later this summer. In addition, free downloads will be available at Hunt’s newly relaunched official website,
