Music video: Now On - All You Ever Knew
This came out of nowhere (for me, at least) - kind of cool though:
"French animation artist Cedric Berthier heard Now On's song "All You Ever Knew" from their classic (ed note: really??) album Tomorrow Already and was instantly inspired to create this video. The trio, which includes Mayer Hawthorne along with IX Lives (son of Larry "Squirrel" Demps of the legendary Dramatics) and Jackson Perry, dropped Tomorrow Already in 2008 just before Mayer's debut."
Dig the song? Here's a free download of it:

Video: Mayer Hawthorne - I Wish It Would Rain
Dude's album was OK but kind of overrated IMHO but this song was one of the joints from it that I played on repeat for a while when it came out which I don't do for too many songs any more, frankly. I think this is actually a cover of an old song though so that might explain why I dig it so mcuh?

Music Video: Mayer Hawthorne - "Green Eyed Love"
I would ask why this is getting premiered on an indie pop blog when dude claims to be a soul singer, but the fact that cats like me think he's a pastiche of a sound cats on sites like Stereogum never check for usually unless its being done by someone who looks like Mayer probably explains it.

Video: Mayer Hawthorne - "Maybe So, Maybe No"
Had to post this on the strength of the Jackson 5 ABC album love (my fave album of all time, in case you didn't already know) at the beginning. Dude is cool no doubt, but anyone amped on his stuff without having already checked out some original soul & rare groove sh-t is out of their mind. [via OKP]

Mayer Hawthorne & The County - "Just Ain't Gonna Work Out"
Due to a weird set of coincidences I'd been home barely a couple of hours in the Tdot yesterday for the holidays and ended up reading about this song, which I had never heard of before today, twice in that time so I checked it out and dug it. And, since it's Stones Throw-affiliated, now I'm sharing it with you:
Mayer Hawthorne & The County - "Just Ain't Gonna Work Out" [direct mp3 link, right click and save as]
I wonder if this record is getting extra attention because of the (possibly) Kanye-inspired limited edition red heart-shaped 45 vinyl? No comment on if this song could apply to recent events in my own life though!
