Mayer Hawthorne - The Great Divide

A killer new single from soul / R&B crooner Mayer Hawthorne, whose unique style and sound has continued to fascinate me over the years. The downtempo blues vibe on the production on 'The Great Divide' works perfectly alongside Mayer's amazing vocal performance, creating a modern twist on old skool sound. Love it, stream here.

Mayer Hawthorne - The Stars Are Ours (Disco Version)

Uploaded to his Soundcloud earlier this evening, here is a glistening disco-infused version of the latest track to be lifted from Mayer Hawthorne's 2013 album ('Where Does This Door Go'), which is entitled 'The Stars Are Ours' and produced by that Pharrell chap. One of the most consistently great artists out there - words can't describe how cool this man is.

M.E.D. & Blue (Feat. Mayer Hawthorne) (Prod. Madlib) - The Buzz

What do you get when you throw together Mayer Hawthorne, 2 of the most exciting underground MCs around and a producer whose credits range from work with MF Doom to the late J Dilla? Quite a serious record apparently, 'The Buzz' forms the A-side to Californian duo MED & Blue's second EP, which shares the same name as the title track, and is due for release on November 26th. Hip-Hop as it should be.

Taken from the forthcoming 'How Do You Do Remixes EP', here is RAC's funky remix of one of of my favourite tracks from Mayer Hawthorne's special sophmore album. Mr. Hawthorne is rinsing this album for all its worth, but I don't mind, because it's one of my favourite R&B/Soul releases for years.

PillowTalk - Makings Of Lover x The Real Thing

My two favourite tracks from PillowTalk's new three-track EP 'PillowTalk Soul Edits', which as the title suggests is an EP of Soul edits. 'Makings Of A Lover' sees the duo put their own twist on 'You've Got The Makings Of A Lover' by Mayer Hawthorne, whilst they reinvent Marvin Gaye & Tammi Terrell's classic on 'The Real Thing'. Out now on Wolf + Lamb, this is a must have for any music lover - buy HERE. Deep, slow and burning...
