Retro soul singer Mayer Hawthorne puts on his private eye's cap in the new video for "Cosmic Love," a sweet and easy single off a new album that is expected to arrive sometime this spring. The first installment of a three video suite, it opens with Hawthorne under the spell of a lounge singer and ends with him unconscious on the floor. Who dunnit?
