Can anyone shed some light on whether this is a cover? Compared to his (much overhyped) first single the arrangements seem far more authentic...
Mayer Hawthorne Cover?

Considering Stones Throw posted the vid, I'd say its for real. It does sound pretty 'authentic' though.
Doesn't really make much sense that it would be a 12" though.

looks like it's gonna be the b-side of maybe so, maybe no 12.

I definitely believe it is what it says, I just meant it didn't sound like something that needs to be on a 12. I'm guessing the flip is what will be 12" worthy?
Man neither of these tracks are nearly as good as the heart-shaped 10-inch. He basically copied "Maybe So, Maybe No" note for note, and that song is already pretty much perfect as it is. This track is a bit better.
Interested to hear what the album will sound like...

White people love to hear other white people singing soul music.
i.e. (Lily Allen, Joss Stone, Adele, etc -- Winehouse & Robin Thicke get a pass, they got real soul)
But yeah, Mayer Hawthorne = Overrated.
Dude was DJ Haircut for a loonngggg minute. Made one record for giggles and that shit broke through. Exit DJ Haircut, who *never* made any substantial waves within the music industry, enter Mayer Hawthorne who now has 3 vinyl releases + an upcoming LP in less then 6 months of the public knowing who the F*ck he is.
In conclusion:
DJ Haircut = No $$$$$
Mayer Hawthorne = Overnight Success
Switched his whole shit up.
The only good joint of his career is "Just Ain't Working Out"....
the AstroNote remix.
Peace!

Funny, I was hanging with the Detroit rapper Invincible who knows Mayer (aka Andrew aka Drew) from back when they were going to Jewish summer camp together and she was also talking about how the Mayer Hawthorne persona was pretty much an instant creation but she didn't mean it in a critical way. More like - hey, if this works, then work it.
I mean, how many rappers totally invented their persona?
Hello: PUBLIC ENEMY?

the persona shit seems kinda wack but this is stones throw, they invent new f*ckin personas every other day
how many f*ckin aliases does madlib have? PBWolf is always doing shit like that too...either way, I am enjoying the music, not the persona. Not everybody is as cool as us.

*laugh* Well, I don't know if Madlib's 20 different aliases = a Stonesthrow thing. But sure, artists invent new personas for them all the time. And in the case of Mayer, maybe I'm completely wrong about this but I don't imagine he learned ''60s soul music overnight. Maybe someone can correct me on that however.
i like everything i've heard by dude, so does my wife but then again she's white so it doesn't mean anything.
"Persona" or not i think he writes good songs, he plays alot of the instruments on the tracks, and is an above average singer. i know questioning white peoples authenticity is big when it comes to soul/hip hop but some people seem to give kneejerk responses to white dudes doing "black" activities. But like o-dub said, i highly doubt hawthornes faking it, he's got soul.
some of you dudes on here are bitter as shit.
peace,xavier
