GRAVITY - JOHN MAYER
John Mayer hopes to remind us that before the Grammy Award-winning signature “Daughters” somewhat emasculated his reputation, the singer/songwriter/guitarist was a truly introspective artist. “Gravity,” the second single from gold album “Continuum,” is an easygoing, bluesy number, convincingly conjuring the spirit of his idol Buddy Guy. While it is perhaps less radio-friendly than previous hit “Waiting On the World to Change,” if this artist is looking to restore props as a serious player, here’s his chance. Adult top 40 is treating Mayer like a signature artist, so it’s probable that this title will have its chance to shine. He needs this one, as his renown totters between a soccer mom’s fave and the measure of a serious musician. Billboard
