i was a little sceptical of this album vs 'Where Does This Door Go' but these tracks have got better and better, great stuff 8) https://soundcloud.com/mayerhawthorne/lingerie-candlewax

loved the driving piano on 'Love Like That' and again this one is infectiously groovy. the chords are right into Scott Storch territory 8)

we have lift off 8)

Matty

so after some spinning, this album is pretty short but plenty FUNKY!

lots of jams of all kinds of flavours and tempos, dope production painting pictures throughout. great vibes.

wait till you guys hear this last track 'out of pocket'! 8)

he also picked some great singles, 'love like that' and 'lingerie & candlewax' are other standouts.

this albums waaaaay better to me then the jake one project.

the jake one project made me appreciate where does this door go so much more.


this albums real cool. in the beginning its kind of a challenging listen then he eases you into more classic traditional sounding shit. this is something jazz musicians did in their album sequencing alot back in the day to break in new sounds to old fans. the album gets better as it goes on as i think a good album should. id give it 3.5 out of five stars


strange arrangement is my personal classic from him.

thanks petey 8)

i think anyone who liked where does this door go is going to be feeling this, there are a lot of similarities. but the sound is more funked up and lively, it's got this tropical marvin gaye thing going on, very vibrant 8)

I like it.  More upbeat than his prior solo stuff.  Wish it had more tracks but overall a nice effort.  7.5/10.
