Every generation has its soul savior, and today all eyes are on John Mayer. With Claptonesque guitar riffs and heart-melting vocals, his solo efforts (and collaborations with stars such as Common) have made him the new king of pop.
"With any trilogy," says John Mayer, "the third in the series blows it open." On CONTINUUM the singer/songwriter/guitar slinger meets that challenge head-on. Mayer's third studio album follows the multi-platinum ROOM FOR SQUARES (2001) and HEAVIER THINGS (2003) and marks his first turn as producer. It is his most soulful, cohesive collection yet and he says it's no accident that this project is where all of his efforts, his potential, and his disparate influences fully come together. "The night I was recognized for 'Daughters' at the Grammys was the night this record started," he says. "I knew I had bought the time to learn everything I needed before I started this one. CONTINUUM is not a shot in the dark, it's not a guesstimation. This is the first endeavor in my entire life, music or otherwise, that I did not cop out for a second on." (more on johnmayer.com)
