MAYER HAWTHORNE

Ok, we’re a little late on this one cause we’ve been putting all our recent energies into developing this new website but we couldn’t not put this up. If you haven’t already heard it, ‘Just ain’t gonna work out’ by Mayer Hawthorne is out now on Stones Throw Records. He managed to get a deal after label boss Peanut Butter Wolf heard only 2 tracks.

He has captured the essence of the old Motown soul sound whilst still sounding fresh, it’s almost like J-Dilla came back to life, went back in time and handled production duties for the Delfonics. Except it’s a 29 year old white guy from Ann Arbour, Michigan who just happens to have more soul than Andre the Giants size 22 boots. He has an album slated for release in September ’09 and from what we’ve heard so far, you better believe the hype.
