John Mayer To Visit Oz; Achieves 'Continuum' On New Album
John Mayer's new album 'Continuum' hits stores Saturday, September 9 and it's an album, he says, that is the fitting final piece of his musical trilogy. Soulful tunes with political themes indicate a newfound maturity for the multi-platinum musician, who says he took all the time he needed to get comfortable in his own skin and create something truly great. Big news also just in that John will visit Oz this October to promote 'Continuum'!
Big news just confirmed that John Mayer will return to Australia this October to promote his new studio album 'Continuum', due in stores Saturday, September 9.
Following the multi-platinum 'Room For Squares'(2001) and 'Heavier Things' (2003), the singer/songwriter says that like any third album in a series, 'Continuum' will be the album to blow his trilogy open.
"A lot of these songs are about coming to terms with getting older," he says. "My generation was never told we were going to get older. We thought we were going to hear our names on 'Romper Room' for the rest of our lives. For a long time, I was really upset about getting older, worried that things were just going to level out... But then I realized that everyone around me was all getting older at the same time. We're all fighting it together... When I realized that, I could relax about it a little bit."
'Continuum' has been slowly coddled ever since the night he won a Grammy for his hit single 'Daughters' in 2005 - an experience he said bought him the time to learn what he needed to produce something great. Working with the likes of Eric Clapton, B.B King, Kanye West, Alicia Keys, and his Trio co-members Steve Jordan and Pino Palladino, he focused on "being more raw" in his playing, and honed his skills and influences to produce an album that he felt was worthy of the final stage of his trifecta:
"'Continuum' is not a shot in the dark, it's not a guesstimation. This is the first endeavour in my entire life, music or otherwise, that I did not cop out for a second on."
Tackling bigger themes than we've heard from him yet, political tracks such as 'Waiting On The World To Change' allow Mayer to be the guy who can sing about the influences, worries and opinions of his generation.
"It's meant to shed a little light on inactivity and inaction," he says, "because I don't believe that inaction is disinterest, I think inaction is preservation - nobody wants to get involved in a debate in which the rules and the facts will change so that they'll lose. So we end up with this other option, which is, I guess we'll just have to wait for things to get better."
But his proudest creation is the track 'Gravity', which he said changed everything for him. "You talk less when you trust that people understand you. That might be the most important song I ever wrote."
Stay tuned for more news of Mayer's visit to Australia.
