“I was a killer/Was the best they’d ever seen. I’d steal your heart before you’d ever heard a thing.” John Mayer’s fourth studio album “Battle Studies” tells the stories of Mayer’s life and love. The new record tells heart shattering stories of breakup in songs like “Half Of My Heart” and re-introduces the dusty cliche of relating love to war in songs such as “Assassin” and “Heartbreak Warfare” but throughout all the sad stories, one song really sticks out. “Who Says,” the controversial song that was once believed to be a joke, exclaims the message that, “Who has the authority, or the right to tell me what I can and can’t do? It is my life and no one can control that.”
The album progresses to an ode to Mayer’s hero Eric Clapton with his rendition of “Crossroads” and a soothing track the revisits some earlier Mayer called “War Of My Life.” “Battle Studies” ends with the soul burning hit of “Friends, Lovers, Or Nothing” to conclude a lovable, tear jerking, then heart warming, album.
