John Mayer — Who Says

Who Says is the first single released from his upcoming fourth album, Battle Studies, following the highly praised Continuum which was released in 2006.

John Mayer is a musician who has continued to mature since his debut album, Room for Squares, in 2001. His sound has progressively gotten much edgier. Following that trend, Who Says has a much darker sound than many of his previous songs. Upon first listen, I was very much reminded of the song Grace is Gone by Dave Matthews Band off of their 2002 album, Busted Stuff. Mayer sings in his unique blues influenced, mellow voice about a good night, an old love and ignorance to others’ opinions.

Now is a good time to start listening to John Mayer if you have ever been hesitant. Who Says is catchy and a must listen. His new album, Battle Studies, comes out November 17th and from the sound of this single, it is sure to be good.
