John Mayer On Collaborating With His Ex Katy Perry

John Mayer recently discussed his music career as well as dueting with his ex, Katy Perry.

During an appearance on the Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen After Show Monday, Mayer was asked by a virtual fan to name his least favorite album. While he placed ‘Paradise Valley’ at the bottom of his favorites, host Cohen pointed out a fan-favorite track from the album: ‘Who You Love,’ featuring Katy Perry. The singer said of the 2013 duet:

“Isn’t that great? I’m glad. I’m glad we did that. That was sort of like early ‘Sob Rock’ prototype stuff. It was just at the point where I was saying, ‘Why can’t I make music from a different era?’ If I love a style of music and I want to make it, like a genre, why can’t I make music that I was pretending was from a different era?”

He then shared his thoughts on Perry’s voice in the song:

“And that was sort of like a prototype to ‘Sob Rock.’ It was sort of like an FM Light radio thing, and ‘Sob Rock’ is a little more realized, but I listen to that every once in a while, and I go, ‘I like that song.’ I like the way that she sounds on the song. She got that way of singing down and met the challenge of that song. It was so much fun.”

Despite the break-up, the two don’t seem like they have any conflicts now.
