I don`t know why Mayer Hawthorne hasn`t thought of doing a covers album yet? because the man is simply amazing at it as he recently took on Rihanna`s charting ballad single"Stay". While we`ve all heard this song played to death on the radio, Hawthorne makes it seem like it came fresh off the wax yesterday, as he gives it a 60`s soul arrangement and delivers a solid vocal performance and completely makes it his own.
"The only thing that was missing from the original version of the song was the funk. So we took it to that sexy Barry White funk zone. Any time I’m doing a cover of a song, I’m trying to do it better than the original. I’m trying to beat the original. Otherwise I don’t see the point of doing a cover."
Listen to it below.
