Baby it'll be ok...

After hearing the podcast that Mayer Hawthorne recently did for Stones Throw and watching the video for "Just Ain't Gonna Work Out" that Simone sent me today, I can definitely say that I am sold. The multi-talented singer/producer/musician is so amazing that Peanut Butter Wolf thought he was listening to a re-edit of an old soul track when he was played Mayor Hawthorne's demo! I mean this white, 29 year old Ann Arbor native must have really listened to a lot of motown records to be able to create music that sounds like Rafael Saadiq and J Dilla had musical babies. Stay on the lookout for this man soon to make his mark in the near future...
