Combining Soul, Pop, and Blues, John Mayer’s third studio album, CONTINUUM, will be released September 12 on Aware/Columbia Records. In the two years since the acclaimed release of HEAVIER THINGS, John Mayer has redefined himself as a musician and collaborator who exceeds genre boundaries. Having recorded and performed with some of the most interesting and iconic artists on the scene, Mayer returns with a pop/rock album that is the culmination of his influences, skill, and recordings to date. Showcasing the Grammy-winning singer/songwriter’s rich lyrics, the groove of the guitar-slinging bluesman, and the vocals of the soulful crooner who’s sold millions, Mayer’s third album is a succinct reflection of an artist in his prime.Preparing to embark on a co-headlining tour with Sheryl Crow on August 24, Mayer’s first single, “Waiting On The World To Change,” has already made a huge impact at radio. Billboard Magazine confirms that the melodic, up-tempo track “is already off to a blockbuster start,” whose ascent to “No. 1 is all but a given.” On “Waiting,” People Magazine says, “John Mayer channels Curtis Mayfield” in a song that reflects the challenges and frustrations of his generation. Continuum is Mayer’s first turn producing a studio effort, a task he shared with acclaimed studio-musician Steve Jordan. The album features sultry grooves such as “I Don’t Trust Myself With Loving You,” “Slow Dancing In A Burning Room,” and the Sam Cooke-flavored “I’m Gonna Find Another You.” Fans of the John Mayer Trio will recognize “Vultures” and “Gravity” reworked for the studio by John, Steve, and Pino, as well as a blazing display of fretwork on a cover of Jimi Hendrix’s “Bold As Love.”. “Heart of Life” and “Stop This Train” are new songs that longtime fans will recognize as keeping in-step with trademark Mayer material.
