“</font><font color="black"><span style="font-size: 14px;">A gem from the vaults - recorded live at the same time as my ‘Royals’ cover,” says Mayer Hawthorne. “This was the first and best take.”</span></font><span style="font-size: 14px;"><font color="black"><br>

Amy Winehouse. His latest, Where Does This Door Go, features a host of top-flight production work from Pharrell Williams, Greg Wells, Jack Splash, John Hill, and Oak (of Oak & Pop), who contributes the smooth and powerful single “Her Favorite Song.”</span><font color="black" style="font-size: 14px;"> </font><font color="black" style="font-size: 14px;"><br>
