The exceptionally talented Pop artist John Mayer has released him CD entitled Room For Squares. I am very confident and happy to announce that I believe John Mayer fans, and Pop fans alike will be pleased with this one. With the release of Room For Squares John Mayer's artistic excellence is on full display as Mayer has once again delivered a brilliant collection of tracks that could very well be him best work to date.
This CD literally grabs your attention right out of the gate with No Such Thing and doesn't let go until the very last note of the very last song St. Patrick's Day, which by the way is another great track.
The nice thing about a CD like this is with this level of talent even if Pop isn't your favorite genre you still can't help but appreciate the greatness of the artist.
If you're a John Mayer fan this is a CD your collection flat cannot be without. In fact, this is one of those CDs that you don't even have to be a fan of Mayer, or even Pop to know is good. This is just good music. Period.
While this entire album is really very good the truly standout tunes are track 1 - No Such Thing, track 4 - Your Body Is A Wonderland, and track 10 - Back To You.
My SmoothLee Bonus Pick, and the one that got Sore [...as in "Stuck On REpeat"] is track 9 - Love Song For No One. Outstanding!
