his new album How Do You Do, has stayed close to the soul and R&B style heard in A Strange Arrangement (released in 2009). As retro as the late Amy Winehouse, Hawthorne gives his own falsetto flair to his new wave throwbacks. The man–who never even thought he’d release his niche music to the public–can sure hit a note.
Following suit after his soul and jazz ancestors, the Stones Throw’s gem sticks to a lyric repertoire full of heartbreak and sentiment. Nevertheless, with “The Walk,” he manages to stay funky and even adds profane sass at one point, understandably: he’s singing out his frustrations to a long-legged heartbreaker. Well, if she won’t have him, he can walk his doo-wops right into my life.
Enjoy, and check out Mayer Hawthorne’s whole sophomore album (below)!

beautiful work! posters for posterity!2
I like it. And it grabbed your attention esp. if you posted a comment below. whether you love it or hate I don't see anything where it promotes violence or degrading women.. what i see is government taking away the rights of a citizen n the rights away from people. Failure to follow instructions will land us in prison like the model. Now if steven photographed the same concept with average shmucks would we pay much attention to it? i dont think so. it'd be just another political journalistic photograph.3
