Essential Albums
- After throwing fans of his campfire serenades off guard with the jam-heavy live album Try!, Continuum confirms John Mayer’s transformation into a 21st-century soul man with serious blues-rock chops. And for Mayer, that shift means more than just casting his songs in a gospel glow, but also speaking to political unrest atop the laidback shuffle of “Waiting on the World to Change”. Ultimately, the growth Mayer exhibits here can be gauged not just by his shred-tastic cover of Hendrix’s “Bold as Love”, but by the fact he answers it with “Dreaming with a Broken Heart”, a lighter-waving anthem to call his own.

About John Mayer
Singer/songwriter, bluesman, pop star, guitar hero, R&B crooner—John Mayer is a bundle of personalities that are nearly impossible to reconcile. His initial run of albums, beginning with his 2003 debut, Room for Squares, and capping with Battle Studies in 2009, established him as a chart-topping heartthrob. Deft fretwork is there, certainly, yet it’s the husky whisper, sexual tension and effortless hooks that make him one of the preeminent artists of the 2000s. Onstage, it’s a different story, however. Mayer’s tightly crafted hits loosen up and stretch out, revealing his roots in classic rock, soul and blues. It’s this John Mayer who takes centre stage in the 2010s. Pop still makes appearances, but on Born and Raised and Paradise Valley, he goes all in, serving up pedal-steel-inflected ballads haunted by hippie California. In this context, Mayer teaming up with surviving members of the Grateful Dead to form Dead & Company in 2015 makes total sense. Playing the role of Jerry Garcia opposite Bob Weir, he transforms into a guitar guru, weaving psychedelic tapestries night after night for Deadheads across the United States. But just as fans get used to an older and wiser Mayer seemingly easing into the jam-band lifestyle, he doubles back and drops the 2018 single “New Light”, a slice of purring, disco-inspired pop that could be credited to a neo-soul star barely out of their teens.
