A Murder-Mystery Unfolds In The Noir-ish New Clip For Mayer Hawthorne's "Cosmic Love"""

In the coming months, Mayer Hawthorne will slowly but surely pull the veil off his forthcoming, currently-untitled fourth solo studio outing. To hold us over, he's graced the world with a clean and crisp new clip for the syrupy single "Cosmic Love"; the album's slow-burning lead-off. According to FADER, the visual is just the first part of what Hawthorne plans to be a three-part musical thriller, "Cosmic Love" setting up the scene for a classic detective's-on-the-tail-of-a-bad-guy type of joint with Hawthorne being enlisted for his services by a stunning lounge singer.

Watch as Mayer Hawthorne goes full-Bogart in the noir-ish clip for "Cosmic Love" below and for the live, direct taste, catch your boy at Madison Square Garden on February 19th, sharing a bill with Hall & Oates and Sharon Jones & The Dap Kings, followed by an after-party at Brooklyn Bowl where he'll man the ones and twos. Stay tuned for my info on his forthcoming record on the weeks and months ahead, as we've yet to receive a precise date on its arrival. Until then, take "Cosmic Love" home with you via iTunes.
