John Mayer's 3rd. studio album Continuum follows the multi-platinum Room For Squares ( 2001 ) and Heavier Things ( 2003 ) and marks his first turn as producer. It is his most soulful, cohesive collection yet and he says it's no accident that this project is where all of his efforts, his potential and his disparate influences fully come together. Continuum represents maturity, both musically and thematically for Mayer who knew this album would tackle larger ideas than those that defined his previous albums. "This record is infinitely playable," he says. "I built so many corner into these songs I cannot wait to play them live."
