(Soul/R&B) Mayer Hawthorne - Man About Town - 2016, MP3, 320 kbps

Man About Town' contains ten new tracks with Hawthorne playing all the instruments. It features the catchy current single, 'Cosmic Love' - released as an album taster earlier this year - which is a soulful retro-groove with shimmering keys and churning rhythm guitar whose falsetto vocals recalls Curtis Mayfield. Other standouts include 'Love Like That' - scheduled as the next single and released on the same day as the album - plus the infectious beat ballad 'Breakfast In Bed,' the sleek and sensuous horn-laced groove 'Lingerie & Candlewax' which boasts an insistent earworm of a chorus and the laidback reggae-infused 'Fancy Clothes.'
