“If you really loved me you would buy me this record….”
February 6th, 2009
Is what I have said to him.
Yes it’s Valentine’s Day a week tomorrow and yes I am a sucker for novelty shaped items especially when they are made out of wax, but hot darn it this record is BAAAD!
Golden boy, Mark Ronson has been quoted in saying this record is “…f$&king good” and I would agree with him. Mayer Hawthorne is Stones Throw’s newest artist; he is young, white and equipped with a beautifully emotive and tender voice.
When I first heard this record I thought it was either a next level remix of an old soul record or perhaps a Mayfield, Hutson or Hancock production that I had never heard of. Turns out it was this jack of all trades twenty something geezer from Detroit who has written, played, recorded and sang on these tracks.
If I got one of these bad boys for Valentine ’s Day I would be one subservient, submissive and obedient wifey just give me a ickle record player and some headphones and you wouldn’t hear a peep.
Enjoy…
