Grammy-winning singer/songwriter and guitarist extraordinaire, John Mayer has released his fourth studio album entitled Battle Studies. While most critics have bashed Battle Studies for being one of Mayer’s least bluesy albums and somewhat more of an open letter to his ex-girlfriend Jennifer Anniston, ‘Battle Studies’sounds like a mix between his previous work Room For Squares and Heavier Things. It’s the perfect blend between jazz, folk, blues and maybe a little hint of r&b. If you’re an established John Mayer fan or even a newbie Mayer fan, you’ll appreciate Battle Studies. –iesha daniels
