JOHN MAYER Unveils New Tune, WHO SAYS

     MUSIC NEWS- John Mayer debuted the first single, Who Says from his new album Battle Studies (order the full album below) on his website, after informing fans via his Twitter account saying, "From my heart to yours."  A switch from this electric blues of The John Mayer Trio (bassist Pino Palladino and drummer Steve Jordan), this song's an acoustic ballad more similar to recent Mayer cuts like Say

and Stop This Train.

Battle Studies, which Mr Mayer calls "a record where you could sing any of the songs in an American Idol audition" is releasin November 17 (via Sony Music).  Not sure what to make of that comment!   In his WHO SAYS Tweet, Mayer also suggested that the song sounds best between "8pm-3am on Friday and Saturday nights," choose your listening sessions wisely then.
