Continuum

Joining forces with Pino Palladino (The Who, Jeff Beck) and Steve Jordan (Rolling Stones, Bruce Springsteen) 'Continuum' is a career-defining album that boasts Mayer's additional talent as debut producer. With themes exploring love and the startling recognition of his own retreating youth, these eleven tracks echo a more serious and mature-sounding Mayer.

"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..."
- John Mayer

In addition to this newfound awareness, Mayer realised that he could be the guy who gave a voice to his generation. With the highly political first single 'Waiting On The World To Change', Mayer aims to shed some light on the perceived apathy of his generation, with the rolling bluesy tune already a fan favourite as the fifth most added tune to radio in its first week on air.

"...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."
- John Mayer

Following 'Heavier Things' (2003) and 'Room For Squares' (2001), Mayer achieves 'Continuum' not only in the last piece of the trilogy, but also a sense of self-satisfaction, crowning the fourth song "Gravity" as quite possibly the "most important track I ever wrote"
