Mayer Hawthorne – Maybe so Maybe No (Stones Throw)

Released: 05/2009

More magic from the soul extraordinaire! After moving out of the heart of northern soul of Detroit and joining forces with Peanut Butter Wolf’s Stones Throw label in L.A. this mans career have taken off! It was the beautiful debut “Just ain’t working out” that caught my attention – and if you haven’t checked it out you know what to do!  

His voice reminds me of Bob Dylan and the production is up there with the best soul music on Motown and Staxx. ”Maybe so, Maybe no” Starts out with electronic, spaced out harp – then breaks down into a driving, chorus backed vocal gem. So uplifting and inspirational. On the flip you get the lovely “I wish it would rain“.
