Andre Mayon Releases Amazing Debut “Love At First Sight” (Single)

After years of observing behind the camera, Andre Mayon steps in front of the mic and drops a suave, silky adoring song in his debut “Love At First Sight”. The smooth sounding Mayon takes the listener into a poetic and amorous state-of-mind set to the backdrop of just a solo, acoustic guitar. It’s a moving piece that looking through any lens, even the most cynical of listeners can find a smile.

Born and raised in Naperville, Illinois, Mayon earned praise for DJ-ing around town and numerous parties during his college years. He eventually started working with his cousin, Hype Williams, the 2006 MTV Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award for his filmmaking achievements. Among the many music videos Williams directed include Will Smith’s “Getting’ Jiggy wit It” and TLC’s “No Scrubs”. Williams has frequently collaborated with Kanye West on such videos as “Gold Digger”, “Heartless” and “All of the Lights”. Mayon worked with Williams and another cousin Erik White and continued to glean experience and knowhow. “Love At First Sight” is Mayon’s debut single.

The first few chords Mayon strikes are loud, dominate guitar strums. It’s a powerful statement and attention-getting that sets the tone for the song’s immersive experience. The acoustic guitar is bright, with bold, determined strokes mixed with Mayon’s finger thumping. The guitar quickly opens the door, as if it where clearing the stage for a grand orator, for Mayon’s heathy singing. He’s absolutely mesmerizing and the sound quality is top notch. It’s no surprise, considering Mayon’s role of sound editing for music videos. His voice is molded just right for a song of this stature and delivery. Mayon’s rumbling voice swells with fire when he’s pressed against the lower notes of the guitar; the resulting feeling is impassioned and burning desires. Let me tell you everything, everything about how to treat a woman, he sings. The essence in his voice is one of unrequited love that has finally been reciprocated. He’s happy and secure in his manhood and confidence in his relationship.

A female vocalist goes along for the journey. She’s mixed in at a lower level, making her voice almost like a far off whisper. She’s shy and engaging in the ‘conversation’ as if she were smiling and laughing. It’s cute. But, I preferred when Mayon projected his voice and his singing. He may not realize it, but he’s empowering. For a man, he shows a lot of grace in his singing and what might be a stage soliloquy, put to music it’s an unexpected, riveting song. He has an unspoken elation in his voice that cascades its way throughout the listener, even filling in the little cracks or opening between the guitar arrangements. Let’s take our time tonight, he coos, leaving the listener but a small gaze in his suave vapor. Tiny pieces add up to the bigger puzzle picture, and by the time “Love At First Sight” hits its last moments, the story that has unfolded is one of a new, sensitive artist who speaks softly, but carries his big heart.
