详细介绍:
John Mayer sang on his 2001 debut Room for Squares, released when he was 22, about his quarter-life crisis. Now he%27s 43 and his latest, Sob Rock, is right on time for the mid-life one. There%27s a whole lot of taking stock on songs like the what-if ballad Shouldn%27t Matter But It Does, which finds him thinking of a former love: It could%27ve been always, it could%27ve been me/ We could%27ve been busy naming baby number three. The incredibly catchy New Light (produced by Kanye West collaborator No ID, it%27s all upbeat yacht rock and blue-eyed soul), actually feels like a throwback to the lonely-boy longings of Mayer’s debut, only now he%27s pushing 40 in the friend zone. Meanwhile, I Guess I Just Feel Like is pure existentialism: I guess I just feel like nobody%27s honest, nobody%27s true … I guess I just feel like I%27m the same way too, he sings along with slow-burn blues guitar. Mayer has said that pandemic stress pushed him to reach for the security-blanket %2780s soft rock of his childhood, and the record is at once FM-radio familiar but not a punchline. Credit producer Don Was, who knows from delicious processed cheese, having steered Glenn Frey, Michael McDonald and Paul Young, among others. On the terrific Last Train Home, Mayer enlists a seen-it-all veteran in the form of Toto percussionist Lenny Castro, but also brings in contemporary country-pop heroine Maren Morris to stand up to the sizzle tone of his PRS Silver Sky guitar. Til the Right One Comes bounces like a Christine McVie cut, and the delightful Wild Blue never lets you forget that he%27s a touring guitarist with the Grateful Dead. Mayer%27s warm rasp—always walking the line of sultry and sad—shines on Shot in the Dark and the gently pulsing Carry Me Away. His offbeat sense of humor, which was entertainingly on display during his lockdown Instagram TV series, doesn%27t usually make its way into songs. But one of the catchiest on Sob Rock is also one of the most confounding: The music is smooth as silk, the delivery sounds sincere, yet there%27s Mayer singing Yoda-like lyrics for Why You No Love Me: Why you no even care?…
