{"product_id":"john-mayer-battle-studies-import-2-lps","title":"John Mayer Battle Studies [Import] (2 Lp's)","description":"It's no secret that John Mayer is a 21st Century Fox, wining and dining women all through tabloid headlines, so it's about time he delivered an album that traded upon his loverman persona -- and Battle Studies is that record in spades. Retaining more than a modicum of the slick, soul-blues undertones of Continuum, Mayer fashions a modern groove album, a record that maintains a smooth seductive vibe so thoroughly it spills into a one-man band cover of \"Crossroads.\" Mayer remains somewhat of a disciple of Slowhand, but he shows an unusual interest in the big AOR stylings of Journeyman, along with Stevie Ray Vaughan's In Step, creating a coolly clean blend of synths and Strats, one that's as much about texture as it is about song.something perfectly appropriate for a make-out album like this. Sometimes, Mayer dips too heavily toward the texture, but he can't resist a good, tight melody and builds the bulk of Battle Studies upon them: the elegant \"Half of My Heart,\" the softly soulful \"Perfectly Lonely.\" Here, Mayer is effortlessly seductive and somewhat irresistible, and it's easy to see why the ladies love cool John. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine","brand":"John Mayer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52536741953767,"sku":"M53H8N-7JDV-00","price":51.13,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0611\/6212\/7591\/files\/john-mayer-battle-studies-import-2-lps_dE188.jpg?v=1788050707","url":"https:\/\/www.normandierecords.com\/en-mx\/products\/john-mayer-battle-studies-import-2-lps","provider":"Normandie Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
