‘Her Favorite Song’ is the first single from the upcoming album from MAYER HAWTHORNE, to be released on July 16. The thick guitar riff immediately allows this track to become a funk anthem. Vocals from HAWTHORNE mirror a PHARRELLesque quality that you can’t help but drift away to.

As soon as JESSIE WARE’s vocals hit the airwaves, the tune transforms from a masculine bass filled track to a shimmering duet. WARE has been dazzling listeners for a while now, including her glittering performances on SBTRKT’s self-titled album back in 2011. Whirling guitar mixed with 70s inspired bass makes this tune a modern revisit to Studio 54 style disco.

You can almost see the purple hue of the lights and the ruffled sleeves appear before you like an incredibly tacky yet undeniably quintessential mirage.

The cheesiness ends there though, as this song brings back the true meaning of funk and disco, mixed with flawless vocals- you may as well start rooting through your dad’s wardrobe and dust off the powder blue three piece suit as you would have to be a robot not to boogy on down to this tantalizing track.
