Mayer Hawthorne

Mayer Hawthorne is a Soul recording artist out of Detroit, Michigan. He music is very Mo-Town inspired and was inspired by great artist such as Smokey Robinson and Barry White. His music is usually tagged as "retro"just as any contemporary work that sounds like it was originally recorded in the 60's or 70's.

The Great thing that I like about this artist is that he has the ability to play multiple instruments that allows him to be very creative when it comes down to produce his own tracks.  Funny thing is that Mayer has been producing and playing instruments this whole life, but has never been formally trained as a singer.

When I first heard of one of his songs I never expected it to be a 29 year old white guy from detroit to be the brains behind not only the voice, but the lyrics and instruments as well. He sort if looks like Buddy Holly in a way. Well the song that I am posting is the very same one that got me introduce to Mayer Hawthorne.  And while searching on youtube For a video with the song i came across the music video which I never knew excited until now. I must say it makes me like the song ten time better know!
