John Mayer

Posted by: Colin Lorenson on 14 May 2002

Returned from Houston this weekend. Whilst there I bought John Mayer's album - Room for Squares - on the strength of a video on VH1.

Of late I had kind of given up on finding intelligent well-crafted pop music (for obvious reasons) and was concentrating more on ECM style Jazz recordings - Suzanne Abbuehl's "April" is ace BTW - but the Mayer album is superb. Really hooky songs, strong tunes which can't help but put a smile on your face. Great summer music if we ever get one.

The album has just been released in the UK and if you have a chance get a listen.
