King and Bonnie Raitt.
Rolling Stone called "Paper Doll," the first single from Paradise Valley, a "sweet, subtle heartbreaker, built around a lilting, circuitous guitar lick" while Billboard hailed it as "a perfectly crafted pop song," remarking that "Mayer's voice has triumphantly returned."
Collectively, Mayer's previous albums - Room for Squares, Heavier Things, Continuum, live album Where the Light Is, Battle Studies and Born and Raised - have sold 20 million copies worldwide. During his career, Mayer has garnered seven Grammy Awards and eleven nominations. 180g vinyl with accompanying CD.
"As its title (a reference to Mayer's Montana retreat) indicates, this chapter finds him in a relaxed, joyful frame of mind. And why not? After two throat surgeries, his voice is fully restored, and his personal life has ceased to be a tabloid fixture. As on last year's Born and Raised, Mayer works with producer Don Was and dives into American roots music.
"Country and folk elements abound; the filigreed guitar lines of "Wildfire" recall the Grateful Dead...His boldface love life enters the picture in a lovely duet with Katy Perry ("Who You Love"), as well as in "Paper Doll," a measured if pointed response to Taylor Swift's eviscerating "Dear John." - Anthony DeCurtis, Rolling Stone
