Lingerie & Candlewax - Mayer Hawthorne
from the album Man About Town (2016)
Flying home from a week in Vegas. Can't really talk about it.
Las Vegas is a crazy house of mirrors. Millions of stories about real people in a world of adult make believe. It has a certain seedy element that attracts me, similar to Bukowski's LA.
So here is a song I was digging all week by Mayer Hawthorne, Lingerie & Candlewax. R&B with a deep groove, slick city horns, and back-up singers straight from a Donald Fagan after-hours party. A snappy beat, cool synths, and a vibe that makes me want to crack the cognac.
I also dig the serpentining melody lines throughout the vocal arrangements. It won't take long before you're singing:
Smokin' in the Cadillac
Take a hit pass it back
Starts with this ends with that
Lingerie and candlewax
And then the female singers chime in with an appreciative "You know what I need, babe."
You need this song in your late night party mix.
