在巨大成功的專輯《Room for Squares》發行的兩年以後,已然成為了葛萊美獎得主的John Mayer終於發行了他的第三張錄音室專輯《Heavier Things》,新專輯上市以後銷量持續飆高,最終首周達到了31萬6千張,輕鬆的把John Mayer送到了排行榜冠軍的寶座上,這也是他首次站在塔尖上,無論是單周銷量還是排行榜的排名都創下了個人的最高記錄,此前他只有專輯《Room for Squares》曾經以12萬多張的單周銷量進入過Billboard 200的前十名。這張專輯由美國著名的唱片製作人Jack Joseph Puig全權打造,這位曾經為包括Eric Clapton等許多大牌歌星和樂隊擔任製作人的老手已經把John Mayer多年的老搭檔John Alagia擠走了。然而這張專輯確實沒有讓人失望,不僅商業上獲得豐收,而且還贏得了苛刻的美國樂評界一致的好評。這是一張非常成熟的專輯,雖然沒有過分的宣傳和包裝,但是專輯的歌曲流露出製作人的精心和細膩,快節奏時的微調,以及旋律轉變的諧和等等,使得歌曲顯得自然流暢。與過去的歌曲相比,新專輯中的歌曲更富有張力,從硬到柔,從快到慢,悅耳的旋律和真實的歌詞被John Mayer拿捏的非常到位,而且歌詞也比以往更有深度。製作人和編曲的功力也體現的非常淋漓盡致,比如《Split Screen Sadness》中用鍵盤造出的背景不和諧音來烘托出愛情破裂時的氛圍,以及詩般的《Clarity》中用爵士小號營造的溫馨等。整個專輯中的歌曲諧和悅耳,歌曲中融合布魯斯,爵士,搖滾,RB等多種音樂的元素,配之以John Mayer出色的歌詞,以及老牌製作人的悉心料理,再加上John Mayer永不止步的音樂理想,可以想像這一張專輯又將會是對各大獎項來說非常有衝擊力的作品。
約翰・克雷頓・梅耶(英語:John Clayton Mayer,1977年10月16日-),美國創作歌手。梅、耶生於康乃狄克州,在1997年搬家至喬治亞州亞特蘭大之前,於柏克理音樂學院進修音樂、並獲得了一些支持者。他的首二張專輯《發聲中心》(Room for Squares)及《甜蜜負荷》(Heavier Things)表現出色,為梅耶贏得了多張白金認證。2003年,梅爾以歌曲〈Your Body Is a Wonderland〉一曲贏得葛萊美獎最佳流行男歌手。梅耶初期的曲風以搖滾及流行為主。直到2005年與著名的藍調歌手如比・比・金及艾瑞克・克萊普頓合作,而逐漸轉型為藍調歌手,並組成約翰梅耶三重奏(John Mayer Trio)推廣藍調。藍調的曲風可以從2006年推出的專輯《聲聲不息》(Continuum)中明顯感覺到。2007年,梅爾分別以專輯《聲聲不息》及歌曲〈Waiting on the World to Change〉贏得第四十九屆葛萊美獎最佳流行專輯及最佳流行男歌手。梅爾的事業後來擴展至單口喜劇片(stand-up comedy,粵語:棟篤笑)、設計及寫作;他並曾為雜誌寫了一些文章,大部份刊登於時尚先生雜誌(Esquire)。梅爾亦透過他創辦的Back to You 基金會參與慈善活動,並關注全球暖化問題。
