Mayer Hawthorne – Designer Drug

Upon my treks through the internet universe, I came into contact with the music of Mayer Hawthorne, who is part of Stones Throw Records.  One thing very noticeable about Mayer, is his retro soul style in his music.  It feels like we are venturing into the 50’s, 60’s, 70’s, and 80’s.  Mayer is a a musician in all aspects of music it seems, from the production, the songwriting, the instrumentation, the deejay, the rapper, the singer, and a whole lot more, but we will leave it at that.  I would say that it is great music to drive to and cruise in your car to.

His newest song, “Designer Drug”, is available for free download and you can check out a new favorite of mine in the video provided by Mayer above.
