Grammy-nominated recording artist Mayer Hawthorne has partnered with French-producer SebastiAn on his latest single, “Chasing The Feeling”. Hawthorne and SebastiAn are long-time collaborators, beginning with the critically acclaimed breakout single “Love in Motion” on SebastiAn’s debut album, Total; and again on “Better Now” from his most recent project, Thirst.
Mayer Hawthrone states “Chasing The Feeling, is about that initial high. That first hit of something amazing – sex, drugs… the rush you get from the first time you shoplift or sneak out of your parent’s house. It’s about the perpetual, unattainable, desire to feel those same endorphins again.”
This is the 7th single in a series of new releases from Hawthorne starting in June 2019.
Mayer Hawthorne has penned every word of his extensive catalog, including four full-length albums over the past decade, much of which has become the soundtrack to countless relationships. Hawthorne, who began his career by making rap beats and DJing in Michigan at the height of Detroit hip-hop, also handles the lion’s share of production and plays nearly every instrument on his records.
In addition to his solo music, Hawthorne is also half of the critically-acclaimed funk outfit, Tuxedo, with Grammy-nominated hip-hop producer Jake One. The duo released their third studio album, Tuxedo III, summer of 2019.
A music aficionado and vinyl junkie, Hawthorne, also continues to showcase his extensive knowledge through his DJ sets as well as his own Hawthorne Radio, a monthly “radio hour” mix series available on his website www.mayerhawthorne.com, SoundCloud, and wherever you listen to podcasts.
