"The Dear Hunter's reinvention of 'Maneater' sees the pop hit take on a more atmospheric and textural ballad structure built largely around the tone of the sax solo in the original."
"They replace the initial momentum-heavy dance beat with something closer to sophisti-pop, keeping the key vocal the same while adding a lot of syncopation over the other instruments."
The Dear Hunter covered Hall & Oates' 'Maneater' in a series where bands create arrangements on the spot. This installment showcases the band's understanding of the original song and their approach to rearrangement. The cover transforms the pop hit into a more atmospheric ballad, emphasizing the sax solo's tone and replacing the dance beat with a sophisti-pop style. The band retains the original key vocal while adding syncopation to the instrumentation. The Dear Hunter is known for their conceptual albums and has upcoming North American tour dates.
