John Mayer Tries His Hand At Meme Culture In Parodic 'New Light' Video

Any time he's not palling around and jamming with Shawn Mendes or on the road with Dead & Firm, John Mayer is making new music for himself. Earlier this month, he dropped "New Light," a breezy plea for someone to be able to see him in another way, and in keeping with the hypebeast-as-school-boy aesthetic he unveiled around its release, he's got a genuine video for the track out now.


Be warned, it's stupid. However it understands it is — it's right there in the upload title: "John Mayer - New Light (Premium Content!)."


John spends the complete video in front of a green screen, inserting himself into various locales. Some are luxurious, like cruising in a convertible in Malibu, and then some are not, like the sterile indoor of a telephone call center. Yet he goes there without fear.


A moment that will probably be spoke about the most in this music video (for a song, by the way, that's really good!) Is as soon as John waves to himself Spider-Man style in front of a zebra. That happens about two-thirds of the way through. The rest, though, plays like a unconventional karaoke video where John Mayer has the time of his 40-year-old life.
