Produced by Blake Slatkin and Mayer, mixed by Serban Genhea, and recorded at Chaplin Studios, the single premiered yesterday on Mayer’s SiriusXM channel, LIFE with John Mayer.
““Tom and Jerry” was the name I used when saving my first voice memo with this song idea,” said Mayer. “And if you ever come through, which I doubt you’ll do, I’ll run away with you.” From that moment on, the adventure began in bringing that feeling to life.”
To accompany the release, a “Tom and Jerry” (Live Vocal Video) is out now – Watch HERE.
In other exciting news, Mayer announced the launch of his own record label, Sob Rock Records in partnership with Mercury Records. The partnership brings one of music’s most iconic artists to Mercury’s celebrated roster, expanding its commitment to championing singular, generation-defining talent.
There’s nobody quite like John Mayer. He has emerged as a GRAMMY® Award-winning artist, celebrated songwriter, and iconic guitar player all at once. The Bridgeport, CT native introduced himself on the quintuple-platinum Room For Squares in 2001 and has earned three #1 debuts on the Billboard Top 200 with the triple-platinum Heavier Things [2003], double-platinum Battle Studies [2009], and gold-certified Born and Raised [2012]. In addition to selling over 20 million albums worldwide and gathering billions of streams to date, he has garnered seven GRAMMY® Awards, including “Song of the Year” for “Daughters,” and has earned a record seven U.S. No. 1s on Billboard’s Top Rock Albums chart and 25 entries on the Hot Rock Songs chart, the most for any solo artist. In 2015, Dead & Company was founded, with Mayer on lead guitar as well as vocals, and quickly became one of the most successful bands, touring consistently, including a highly successful, 48-show residency at Sphere in Las Vegas, which drew nearly half a million attendees, 10 U.S. tours, playing to almost five million fans across 300 shows; and became a record-breaking stadium act. In addition, $15+ million has been raised to support nonprofits and environmental and social causes. In 2021, Sob Rock, Mayer’s eighth studio album, was released to critical acclaim featuring the hits, “Last Train Home” and “Wild Blue.” The album has since been certified gold. In November 2023, LIFE With John Mayer launched – an exclusive, 24/7, year-round SiriusXM channel curated and presented by Mayer.
