Mayer Hawthorne

I love Mayer Hawthorne. He's a perfect blend of old-timey melodrama with some dope beats that are standard these days among the stones throw crew.

the video for this song just came out today and it's fantastic.

The offical Stones Throw press release:
"No effects were used to shoot this video. He suddenly woke up with a raining cloud above and we grabbed cameras. It's actually a documentary. Really."


[Motown; R&B-like pop plus sickly sweet melodrama makes for that thing that happens when the sun goes behind the clouds but everything's still bright]
