Mayer Hawthorne is one of the best pop-soul musicians around. His first album A Strange Arrangement was decent but How Do You Do is slowly becoming my favorite. There is no way you could listen to a song like "The Walk" and not have to move with the music. Get those shoulders bouncing people! Where Does This Door Go, his latest album, is a little too mainstream R&B sounding for my taste. Not to say R&B is bad necessarily, but when you're used to hearing Hawthorne's fun, creative, poppy soul music, a mainstream sound that strays away from that is just a bit disappointing.
