Its okay for a single, but I hope his entire next album doesn’t sound like it

I'm liking it.

Even though I like every one of his albums, I like the young John Mayer more than his recent stuff.

This single sounds like early 2000s Mayer

Is it his stupid teeny bop gay music or his awesome blues music?

Do you like John Mayer is an inherently contradictory question.

It could be an in-between his pop and blues. It honestly sounds like a Battle Studies song.

He’s too talented to not have good melodies, he’s a master at that. Musically it sounds good. His problem is the cheesy fricking lyrics. The two albums for him that are phenomenal are Continuum and Born and Raised. Everything else has this exact same issue, cheesy lyricism.

This is exactly correct. He is pretty good musically and I enjoy that but its like he is singing to a 12 year old

I’m convinced JM sucks his own cock. His personality has ruined his music for me

While I won’t defend how douchey he was for a very long portion of his famed career, he does seem to have made adjustments and changes. He considers himself a recovering egomaniac, and since his throat issues causing him to move to Montana for a while, seem to be a much more down to earth guy. The guy who wrote vultures and gravity also wrote body is a wonderland, and that’s the give and take of John Mayer

Dude has some high quality songs


Then you have

Your body is a wonderland
Love on the weekend

Half of my heart

I cant really think of any major artist that bats a 1000, and Mayer himself explained that he credits his success to allowing his producers major input in his records, so sticks with what works most of the time, even if it is occasionally wrong.

I’ve seen him live 5 times I’m a huge fan of the guy but I feel like he’s trying too hard to stay relevant in pop. I don’t see him being a top 40 hit monster again, why not go for more substance? And I actually dig the new track a lot outside of the lyrics

Im convinced he does all the bubbly pop crap just to drag more pussy

May be trash to us but I'll assume that if John walks in breaks out the acoustic for body is a wonderland no milf pussy in the house is safe

He knows how to play the game is what it is.

Watched him on First We Feast a few days ago. It was a really good interview. He says in the interview that he purposely does songs for the public (poppy shite) and songs for himself (bluesy shite). He does say that he wished that the songs he does for himself were more popular than the songs he does for the general public.

There was a recent interview that supports this statement.

I’ll defend John Mayer’s guitar playing all day but a 40 year old dude writing lyrics about being the “boy in your other phone” is cringey even for him.
