Mayer Hawthorne – Green Eyed Love (Video)

by Staff, October 14, 2009

Justin Timberlake says: “If the name Mayer Hawthorne doesn’t ring a bell, check again!” And JT is on solid ground here. The talented crooner straight outta Michigan has created quite a buzz within the industry for the past few months. Often copied, but rarely matched Soul Music from the golden era of the 70’s has always been quite a challenge for today’s music artists. However, the 29-year old has might found the perfect formula to revive the Motown spirit by employing his interpretation of retro-soul. The video to Mayer’s latest single “Green Eyed Love” bear multiple attacks to your senses as sound, and visuals deliver a much-needed breath of fresh of air for the soul-genre. What appears to be recorded in absinthe frenzy is in fact one of the most creative videos in ’09. His album “Strange Arrangement” is out now!
