Mayer Hawthorne Where Does This Door Go [Review][Amazon][iTunes]

On his third album Where Does This Door Go, Mayer Hawthorne disposed of the retro-soul tag that had been pinned on him. Replacing it with a unique and multifaceted sound, Hawthorne combined everything from the yacht vibes of Steely Dan ("Reach Out Richard") to hip hop ("Crime") and a touch of Hall & Oates ("Back Seat Lover"). Whichever influence was called upon as Hawthorne paved the path to his own true sound, the result was something he shouldn't be closing the door on. Where Does This Door Go is a standout album that has solidified Hawthorne's place in pop music and culture. -- Kitten Jam
