John Mayer Shows Us A New Light

John Mayer has been a reliable hit maker since the aughts churning out reliable tunes like "Your Body Is A Wonderland" "Daughters" and now "New Light" a song bathed in sunlight through John's voice and some supreme guitar licks at the bridge that are smoky like the pipes John's been using to great effect. If you want some smile moments the video should fill your quota for the day, month, year, and even decade. You see these delicious backdrops ranging from a goldfish bowl to a baseball game to mountain tops. John's sensual stare seals the deal. You get the feeling there's an intimate relationship at work here between listener and player. Kind of a bedroom pillow talk aesthetic. He has the peppiness angle down to a science. It is truly one of his better efforts from a composition standpoint. It's full of sweetness and light that should sustain you for days. John certainly has a bluesy soul inside of him and it comes out beautifully here. From note one he's an engaging figure and captures his audience perfectly. He's got plenty of rooting value in spades. You want to see him succeed. "New Light" from his "Snack Money" LP gives him the leverage to do just that. https://youtu.be/mQ055hHdxbE
