John Mayer has had his hands full with what felt like a hundred projects over the past few years — with putting out new music not among them. It takes a stretch of the memory to even recall that he announced a parting of ways with Sony Music back in 2022, with no followup revelation about where, if anywhere, he planned to go next . Now, after hinting at the beginning of this year that new studio recordings were afoot, he’s finally publicly kicking the recording artist part of his career back into gear.
