r&b

Unfortunately for Avant, the R&B singer emerged at a time when the market was flooded with male voices. Still, his early 2000 hits "Separated" and "My First Love" charted and built him a solid reputation. After that, his stuff started to sound alike, blending into the rotation of radio monotony. His latest album, Avant (Capitol), is more of the same, but at least he can actually sing.
