Say what you will about Stones Throw’s throwback-to-Motown act Mayer Hawthorne, but the only cheeseball moment from the neo-soul singer came about halfway through his set when he encouraged the crowd at Fitzgerald’s to “Take out those camera phones – take the picture you’ve been wanting to take. Facebook, Instagram: Go for it – Tell the world you’re watching Mayer Hawthorne” and proceeded to ham it up with cookie-cutter lounge act poses with his band. For Mayer Hawthorne (real name Andrew Mayer Cohen), a guy who looks more investment banker than Al Green, and who for an hour and a half treated the Sunday evening crowd to a set of classic soul and late 60’s early 70’s Motown, a little bit of cheese goes a long way.
Hit the jump for the full recap.

i’m honestly a little torn here. on the one hand, it’s so, so amazing to hear one of my favorite artists of all times’ voice again, especially working with damon albarn. on the other hand, it really does sound simply like bobby womack singing over a gorillaz track (which don’t get me wrong, can in no way be a bad thing, but when it comes to solo material…). either way, it’s good to hear mr. womack back at it, and my interest is peaked for his upcoming album of the same name, out june 12th via XL recordings.
