CD: John Mayer, Paradise Valley

Filled with folk-rock songs and a dash of country whimsy, Paradise Valley is lush musical terrain.

Who You Love, a gentle duet with girlfriend Katy Perry, is smooth listening, but it’s the nostalgic, twanging guitar hook of Paper Doll, rumoured to be about John’s ex Taylor Swift, that is the beautiful pinnacle of this album.
