I'm personally sort of excited for this album because he is SORT OF back! Yep, I think the old John Mayer is gradually seeping in to his blood and soul once again morphing into the John Mayer that we used to know and I am quite happy with that!
Remember how country his previous album sounded?
This single is less country than any of his song in "Born and Raised" and it is just a simple, lovely acoustic song with his voice and mainly his guitar. If anything, I would think Paper Doll sounds more similar to Mayer's songs from "Battle Studies".
Which is slightly not the John Mayer in his early albums, but is good enough.
The riffs from his guitar sounds less country-fied which is making me feel really good. Mayer's voice as always is really beautiful (which might be the only reason why I listened to Born and Raised album). The song is overall mellow, which is how he always sounded since Battle Studies.
Appearance-wise, still looking pretty country but at least he cut his hair and lost the beard. He's wearing poncho in the cover which is slightly weird because when he was in SNL with Frank Ocean, he dressed like a normal person.
I am pretty optimistic about his new single, Paper Doll and his new album, Paradise Valley. How about you?
PARADISE VALLEY is will come out on 13th of August 2013!
*sorry for being so critical, he's one of my favourite musician and I really want him back as good or better*
