The cover is clearly a more acoustic version, sticking to Mayer's usual tone and includes the piano, guitar, and harmonica. Mayer gave Queen Bey a shout out last month on Twitter—"The best thing about Beyoncé? The break in her voice on the first 'baby, love me lights out' in XO. Real and raw," he wrote.
