“I’m totally transfixed by this Miley Cyrus album,” Mayer — who will soon be performing alongside members of the Grateful Dead in group they’re calling Dead & Company — wrote alongside a quote from one of Cyrus’ new tracks, “Lighter.”
“This is why I love music,” he added. “You can be one artist one year and the next discover some crazy light inside yourself and shine it everywhere.”
“You can’t try to make something like this. You just tap the vein and don’t question a single instinct,” he continued. Soon after, he concluded, “Comes down to this: This is a masterwork of whack genius.”
