Mayer Hawthorne, sometimes referred to as a Throwback Soul Artist, or as described by the NYTimes as if the last 20 or 30 or 40 years of pop music hadn’t happened- isn't quite as easily compartmentalized as it might seem. He follows up a collaboration with Snoop Dogg with a smooth cover from the Charlie Brown Christmas Album. He says of his upcoming album you're going to hear more of my affinity for Steely Dan and the Beatles and the Byrds and the Hollies and the Doobie Brothers -- probably some Public Enemy and N.W.A too. Totally dig this guy- the Green Eyed Love Classic Remix is awesome.
