Across Saturday evening Tweets, Grammy-winning musician John Mayer praised the recent Paramore and Harry Styles album.<\/p>\n

Mayer began his Twitter stream by discussing how the “closed loop” nature of content consumption can prevent even great music from reaching beyond a band’s core fanbase.<\/p>\n

“For as much content as we have access to, we still live in a fairly closed loop. Artists reach their fans through ad-hoc channels…And even if they thrive, they don\u2019t really pick up as many new fans as they should because of these closed loops.”<\/p>\n

He used Paramore’s new “After Laughter” to illustrate his point.<\/p>\n

“Here’s where I’m getting at… this @paramore album is great,” wrote Mayer. “Their fans know it. But every fan of pop music needs to check it out.”<\/p>\n

Mayer then transitioned to a quick comment about Harry Styles’ self-titled debut album. Mayer lauded the One Direction member for choosing “honest, beautiful songcraft” over the various other styles he could have pursued.<\/p>\n

“Also, @Harry_Styles could have made any style record under the sun,” noted Mayer. “And he chose to make honest, beautiful songcraft.”<\/p>\n
