Mayer Hawthorne's New Single Puts A 21st Century Spin On Yacht Rock

On April 8th, eternal-soulman-turned-fashion-minded-r&b-star, Mayer Hawthornewill unleash his third solo studio effort with the release of Man About Town. Today, Hawthorne pulls the covers off the album's latest offering, "Love Like That," borrowing the smooth and sultry sounds of late '70s/early '80s yacht rock and applying a 21st century sheen to bring the cut well into the modern era. The track arrives on the heels of the album's slow-burning lead-off single, "Cosmic Love," and proves to be yet another clue that his next outing will be a formidable one.
