Support can be sexy

Slinky singer-songwriters Leon Bridges and John Mayer have teamed up on a new single called 'Inside Friend'. All the proceeds from its streams and purchases will go to the MusiCares COVID-19 Relief Fund. Sales of all new merch from Bridges will also supplement the fund.

Sexy electric guitars and soulful staccatto rhythms make 'Inside Friend' a baby-making bonanza. It's relatable too: about the benefits of having a date in the comfort of your own home. Poignant, huh?

The collaboration came about after Bridges and Mayer completed a stint in the studio together last year. 

On the tune, Bridges said: "I tour most of the year, so I'd rather invite a gal over to lounge comfortably in the crib as opposed to go out somewhere crowded. 'Inside Friend' stayed on the back burner for a while...but the current state we're in globally compelled us to dig this back up and finish it."

You can hear the two of them talk more about the song if you tune into John Mayer's Instagram this Sunday (12 April).
