Mayer Hawthorne and the County – Just ain’t gonna work out (Stones Throw)
Released: 04/11/2008
This is a solid debut! But you would not expect otherwise when released on Stones Throw. Mayer Hawthorne provides us with two beautiful soul ballads (Just ain’t gonna work out/When I said goodbye), which his idols Curtis Mayfield and Smokey Robinson would have been proud to count as their own.
Stones Throw head honcho couldn’t believe his luck when he first heard the tracks. “He showed me two songs and I didn’t understand what I was listening to,” Wolf recalls. “I asked him if they were old songs that he did re-edits of – I couldn’t believe they were new songs and that he played all the instruments.” “I think Mayer is the only artist in the history of the label that I’ve signed after hearing only two songs,” says Peanut Butter Wolf. “Sometimes, you just know it’s the right thing to do.”
The single is released on an incredible limited red 12″ in the shape of a heart. That will surely get you the attention of that beautiful girl on the floor.
Listen to both songs on YouTube, here and here.

Begge sangene er herlige! Den første minner litt om noe pharell kunne gjort. Enig?
