    Disappointing album from Mayer Hawethorne and Jake One. Lazy production on this record. Seems rushed and like it was nothing put in to it. Not interesting in the slightest.

    If you love Mayer Hawthrone and you love disco this album was meant for you, personally I like it more when they are keeping it funky,cool, and jamming. Their slow songs are nice as well, but nowhere near the level of the jams. This is his best work since "Where does this door go" and Jake One is a master on the ones and twos. I have been enjoying this album the last couple of days.

    Stunning release from Mayer Hawthorne and Jake One. The album moves from one groove to another with nods to artists like Snoop and Nate Dogg, as well as other funk figures of the likes of Zapp and Roger, and old Stones Throw partner Dam Funk. Its a more electronic side from these two seeing as Hawthorne is used to a more soulful/doo wop sound and Jake One coming from a hip hop background.Stunning release from Mayer Hawthorne and Jake One.

The album as a whole captures the sound they were going for, there are signs of uplifting happiness, love, dancing, and just general classiness.… Expand

    This album is awesome! Mayer Hawthorne just gets better and better with each album. The album is pretty much as funky as it gets. If you like 70s funk, Prince, Chromeo, or Jamiroquai, you will love this.

    This is a stone cold old-school funk album... the only thing modern on this is the production, which makes these songs sound slick. It's got some pretty tasty bits for sure, and definitely worth a listen.

    It might be a little too smooth for plant-seducing ubiquity, but Tuxedo still deserves to get lucky. [May 2015, p.114]

    The resulting batch of picture-perfect recreations reveal Tuxedo as a one-trick pony, but it's a wicked clever one. [May 2015, p.83]

    Timeless? No, but go make out on the dance floor.
