What do you get when you cross Mayer Hawthorne’s highly-affected blue-eyed soul voice with Chromeo’s literally effected vocoder vox? You get the Montreal duo turning the Detroit/Los Angeles sensation’s “A Long Time” into a ’80s flashback on par with something from Michael McDonald’s “Sweet Freedom” heyday.

Christine Hoberg knows what she wants — and it’s only a matter of time ’til she gets it. The sultry multi-instrumentalist and vocalist has been hard at work lately — writing, performing, recording, bartending (you get the picture). Lucky for us, she recently released her “Ugly” EP as a free download. Recorded live in her Brooklyn apartment in one 6-hour session, some have compared her to Amy Winehouse, Mayer Hawthorne and other throwbacks. Download “Ugly” here: Christine Hoberg \"Ugly\" EP

Everyone’s favorite retro-flavored soul brother Mayer Hawthorne has poked his head back into the spotlight after a few months of quiet, with a free EP of cover tunes performed by himself and his band The County. The group takes a hearty stab at ELO’s “Mr. Blue Sky,” Isley Brothers’ 1972 groove-thang “Work to Do,” and Chromeo’s more recent yet equally stylish “Don’t Turn the Lights On.” Check out “Mr. Blue Sky” here, and downlaod the whole EP after the jump.
