Hunter released an exclusive look at his upcoming EP on his Instagram and shares a 30-second version of one of the tracks. It starts with a stirring piano melody then followed with hip-hop beats that will surely leave his listeners hooked. The track also has a visual counterpart with baby blue petals that forms a heart and then are slowly withering away. For sure, there is meaning in the flowing of the petals away from the heart and you’ll hear it soon from the rest of the tracks in the EP.
His EP “I Knew You” promises five tracks that show off his smoky vocals and songs that are perfectly layered with beautiful, R&B, hip-hop composition produced into chart-topping hit songs. His teaser is a refreshing take of what the songs he usually puts out, a leveled up one and that’s for sure.
Hunter wanted to write songs that inspire people, something they can all relate to, and something that makes them feel someone understands.
