Summary

- Critics called the song 'passive' and 'anger-free'.
- Mayer also commented on Donald Trump's speaking voice.
Singer John Mayer recently addressed the reception of his 2006 song "Continuum." While performing at HISTORYTalks in Philadelphia on April 17, Mayer acknowledged that the song, from his album of the same name, was met with criticism for being too passive. He recalled that the tune was characterized as an "anger-free ode to a vaguely dissatisfied generation" by The New York Times.
Pitchfork, in its review, described the song as preaching "non-action and civic apathy." Mayer, who previously campaigned for Barack Obama, also shared his opinion on Donald Trump's speaking voice. He stated that Trump possesses a 'lovely speaking voice' when discussing non-controversial subjects, particularly when reading from a teleprompter.
