John Mayer – The Search for Everything

Review

John Mayer's "The Search for Everything," dropped on April 14, 2017, is a loose concept album that delves deep into the rollercoaster ride of heartbreak. With tracks that guide you through the stages of a breakup—from the gut-punch of separation to the sweet relief of acceptance—Mayer's signature blend of pop, rock, and blues really hits home. The production is slick, giving special shine to Mayer’s top-tier guitar riffs and soulful vocals. You can feel the versatility across the board, whether jamming to the upbeat "Love on the Weekend" or getting lost in the wistful vibes of "Emoji of a Wave."

This album's charm lies in Mayer’s knack for crafting tunes that stick with you, showing off his undeniable songwriting talents. Catchy hooks on tracks like "Still Feel Like Your Man" and "In the Blood" are absolute earworms. And hey, let’s not forget the killer cameos—Sheryl Crow and Al Jardine bring extra flavor to the mix. Critics might argue it's a bit too polished, but "The Search for Everything" stands as a testament to Mayer's enduring talent. Whether you're leveling up in a game or just chilling, this album's got the feels and the vibes to keep you company. Game over, Mayer wins. - Blake
