Mayer Hawthorne - Strange Arrangement - LP

2009 Debut Album — Throwback Pop/Soul

The debut from Michigan-bred singer/songwriter Mayer Hawthorne draws on the inspiration of Leroy Hutson, Smokey Robinson and the Holland–Dozier–Holland songwriting team, channeling a heartfelt nostalgia for sweet vintage soul. Built almost entirely from original compositions (alongside a cover of The New Holidays' "Maybe So, Maybe No"), it's a loving update of classic soul songcraft.
