Mayer Hawthorne....It feels like Motown

Here's the picture .... late 60's,Marvin Gaye, Smokey Robinson , Teddy Pendergrass, smooth voices, Motown sound...You got it ? Okay.Now 2009, Mayer Hawthorne," A strange arrangement", Motown sound revival ...

We already knew that Soul music was back ( in fact it was never gone ) with the O-mazing, excellent " The way I see it " by Raphael Saadiq or with Eli " Paperboy" Reed , Mayer Hawthorne is just making it more soulful.

This Michigan born soul singer's debut album is everything but strange. It got this vintage Motown soul vibe that you love to hear without doing too much of it. It's just perfect. 12 tracks and you just listen to the whole thing without skipping.

It's 2009 and the Motown sound is still alive...Berry Gordy must be proud of it !!
