Favorite Musician #2

I have a very wide taste in music genre, ranging from metal and punk, to old school soul and funk. Hip hop and rap to acoustic. But if I had to pick a favorite artist, I think it would have to be Mayer Hawthorne.

Almost indistinguishable from the soul music of the  60's and whatnot, Mayer Hawthorne is bent on not recreating the "good old days" but creating the "new good days". With upbeat soul and funk feel, he tackles topics such as falling in love, falling out of love, finding out about an unfaithful lover, and much more. His voice as smooth as slow-churned vanilla ice cream, and lyrics so relatable you'd think he wrote them just for you, he never fails to evoke some sort of emotion in me. It also helps that he's pretty handsome as well.

All in all, he is an incredible artist and I ADORE him. I have a strong feeling he'll be staying in the music scene for a long, long time. With such talent and support, I know he will go far.
