i saw him live twice and his singing was flawless, plus he's got an impressive range. i suppose the monitoring is bad and he can't hear himself properly. sorry for the nerdy comment, i just had to.
His vocal abilities may not be the best However the man is talented and besides he's better than most of the so called singers out there today. This dude is taking back to the old school. when you had to have talent to get on the radio.
@dooshette get out of here... he was already a successful DJ before his music career. the fool writes his own lyrics and plays all instruments. and people feel the singing. He has a lot more talent than most pop stars today and he is on one of the most cutty labels. He about the music
I agree he doesn't have the best technical singing voice, but thats not the point. His style of "singing" is what makes this work, its raw and I'm sure he doesn't give a shit about being the best singer. It's about creating a mood and different emotions inside the listener, you don't need to be technically brilliant to do that.
@NoformTX you should see him live now...he's really stepped his game up!!! Saw him in madrid last week, he was unbelievable... got back to london and instantly booked tickets for the london show...it was that good!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
his falsetto is too screechy and nasal and false...honestly he should get a talented singer if he was interested in making good music...but i suspect he'd rather be in the limelight. oh, and if you believe that bs story that he created this music as "a joke" a "lark" you are morons. he knew this shit would sell after fellow jew amy winehouse had done similar retro soul/r&b to great success.
@dooshette lots of music is created as a joke. people end up liking it. it's the purest way of making music...for your own pleasure. maybe his voice is not as good, but but his music is a hell of a lot better that most of that shit out there.
@dooshit...yo my man ur an asshole...im not jewish but u gotta bring the jew shit in the picture first of all which makes u sound like such as asshole, secondly ths guy mayer hawthorne is doing an original twist on some old songs...hes a dj on a primarily HIP HOP label so hes obviously inot old records for sampling and was clearly influenced by it. its catchy and is what it is. it doesnt need perfect vocals to satisfy morons such as yaself...kick rocks
THIS GUY I LOVE, IT SOUNDS LIKE YOU HAVE A VOICE TO DO OLDIES...I LOVE THIS GUERO
