Huntley quickly caught the coaches' attention with hisfour-chair turn auditionof “She Talks to Angels.”
“Huntley, I was hearing… I don’t know if you’ve ever heard of an English singer called Daniel Merriweather. There was another guy called James Morrison. I’m hearing this tone, like the Chris Stapleton thing, that’s a tone that comes naturally,” Horan, 30, said. “I bet you were singing like that when you were 15. You sing your own way, you sing very direct and so much power and the control that you have. It’s so beautiful to listen to.”
CoachGwen Stefaniadded, “Your voice is just so automatic. you know exactly at what point you’re going to be raspy and its pure and honest. You sound like you’ve been singing forever. You’re just comfortable.”
