No one is surprised to see Mr. John Mayer once again making the lists with another guitar-fueled political album. Whether he would have created another “Continuum” album or done something completely different, the best guitarist of our generation would reign supreme.
“Battle Studies” takes a different direction, giving Mayer the opportunity to open up as an artist as well as experiment with his vocal range.
Mayer hits higher notes in some of his usual love ballads, but his more uniquely crafted songs such as “Half My Heart,” feature a special guest vocalist, Taylor Swift.
The ONLY time she will be mentioned in this top 10, Swift guest appearance vocally balances Mayer and creates for a harmonizing collaboration he’s been missing from his albums.
The album as a whole covers a variety of issues including freedom, war and marijuana, the last something Mayer fans were very excited to hear him speak out about. This is no “Your Body is a Wonderland” type of album but a heavier, resonating sound bluesy-rock sound that leaves listeners knowing why he’s ranked as one of the best musicians.
Check these songs: Who Says, Heartbreak Warfare, Edge of Desire
