[@preciousone9377]

He’s been out here in these industry streets for a while, I’m glad he’s getting new fans discovering his talent. He’s underrated for sure. Best wishes to him and Halle!💜

[@robertmauli1293]

Grammy nominated. He has been booked and busy since 2004. His music is impeccable, definitely not pop but very grown and hearty and mindful. His music is for the soul.

[@mariefallon4806]

As soon as I found out Ms. Berry was dating him I had to revisit his delicious 🎶 😍 go ahead girl! Pray that they both are blessed to find each other🙏

[@CharisseArrington]

I fell in love with this song on contact while watching that lil steamy love scene from the movie "Something New" with Saana Lathan. After hearing, I rewound movie over and over again just to listen cause couldn't get enough of this man's sexy arse voice! Yep... Van Hunt and his song still does it for me.

[@glitzy8165]

I did, too. Over and over. LOL

[@Yahwehsyolanda]

Me tooo

[@rothblack6332]

Unbelievable this guy aint recognized more

[@babsphillips8583]

Now that Halle Berry is dating him, maybe he will be.

[@sugarspice1689]

He will now but its mostly going to be focused on their relationship what a shame.

[@faithgolden7806]

Hi IS. He produces and writes for everyone. Is just that we gotta hold em up more... all of them

[@dashhill443]

Not really. Tons (thousands) of talented people go unrecognized everyday.

[@rothblack6332]

@@dashhill443 meh...true in that. But he's unique

[@damonowens7880]

HOT DAMN!!!!! VAN still got them melodious pipes.

[@stephaniemontgomery66]

Curtis Mayfield comes to mind and Bilal every time I hear his voice

[@JoQ-GPS]

Exactly!!!

[@veronicacalloway2795]

Yes yes so soulful and vibrant

[@kensmechanicalaffair]

If you listen to his early work its inspired by prince.

[@chandrakennedy7692]

And a little bit of Marvin Gaye! This guy is very talented. Yes, thanks Halle.

[@shondelhumphrey48]

Van Hunt is SUPER under-rated! I don't know where he's been, but I'm so glad the new relationship is bringing attention to him. I'd so love to hear more from him. #REALMUSIC

[@edithjones6273]

Nice to hear two mature people are dating. 😊

[@takeisha]

Ugh, he still sounds so good! You better sing, Van! Let them know that you were Van Hunt BEFORE Halle!!!

[@johnlyndsay]

Wooo...this brother can sang! Extraordinary Talent!

[@kimvann3739]

Rocking Van Hunt since 2004, can’t wait for new music!

[@kirkq2071]

Absolutely loved his first album! Rocked it almost every day when I was a long haul over-the-road truck driver.

[@mshouse4251]

He's so under-rated! This song does it for me every time...🔥

[@NadiriCreativeMedia]

Your voice is still as beautiful as it ever was! If not even better. Your vocal control is amazing. It's wonderful to hear you again.

[@glowdoll183]

Ppl don’t know good music or real artist any more. Can Hunt is so unappreciated for his contribution to music it’s gross. This is one of my favorite love songs ❤️🥂🌹

[@DINOLOVER6717]

I just found this song 🥰🥰🥰 I’m in love with that sound

[@mssweets6119]

They are a dreamy couple! I want them to make it so much♥️🌹♥️🌹🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽love Van & Halle all day

[@slim0568]

This is my jam! His voice is timeless

[@MrNusouth]

He was Van Hunt before Halle Berry...gifted songwriter and singer! His 2004 album debut and the others that followed brought me here. "Hopeless" by the talented Dionne Farris was written by Hunt

[@wild2peaceful]

No one said he wasn’t!! What’s your problem bro?

[@MrNusouth]

@@wild2peaceful most of the comments are "Halle Berry brought me here"...no problem on my end "bro"..see, even liked your comment.

[@lonnienorman6797]

Word? I didn't know that.

[@michellewatson8477]

He still got it! I bought this CD when it first came out!

[@simeo7572]

Oh my goodness. A different version, but just as powerful...That voice!!!!!

[@gregmuscovalley3791]

I heard this song before he got attention for his relationship. I love real music.

[@lakeshawilliams1878]

Love him, and this song is everything!!! So soulful and his voice......my Lord.

[@katlvnyc6008]

Van is by far the best guy for Halle. They are a HOT couple and both deserve love, romance and appreciation for each other. God bless your talents and relationship.

[@nganther1]

He’s Prince’s cousin. It’s in the blood!

[@twainfunk57]

He is not prince cousin!

[@crazy4corbinbleux]

Wait really? I was just commenting how he kinda sounds like prince

[@lindamiles5597]

Wow! Getting Curtis Mayfield vibes. What a gifted singer Van Hunt is. Thanks for releasing this soulful selection into the universe.

[@cherrybdaone]

This song played in “Something New” 🔥🔥🔥 That’s how I got hip. Sanaa Lathan love scene

[@Shonda_Colbert]

This song gives me hope to find true love one day...I look forward to someone feeling this way about me. I love this song...thanks Van

[@nuncajimenezpunta3558]

I been known about this "Jewel" ... The man always had great talent.... Halle might have gotten this one "Right for once"... Much more talented than EX-Eric B.

Oh snap. What do you mean by that?

[@dchardinaycole5944]

@@chantalb3986 uhh Eric Benet

[@businessbywebofficial]

People hook up and break up all the time. Celebrity is no different. Its just that people get in celebrities business when its really non of their business. We know Halle's habits. There is nothing new to see here. It's like food.....you have the best steak of your life and you love the place until you find the next best one. Mr. right now. When Miss Halle is done with this steak she will find another steak and so will he. It's all good....its life as we know it.

[@lee48lee68]

Carl Mayfield -I used a similar analogy a few days ago. The difference is, those of us who are mature and committed realize that once you’ve tasted the best steak there’s no point in looking for better...you’ll probably find it but you’ll never be satisfied and the unending search will continue. ☮️
