What will make this mini-album review different than some of my past ones is that for once I’m not worried about what the artist is saying, but how it makes the listener initially feel without understanding what the songs truly mean.  Follow the music, and let your own theme unveil.  I will say “Battle Studies” does paint a color blue, but presents plenty of different shades to it to let you decide where it takes you.

Not really having it as a main focus (ergo, why this is a mini-album review), what I can only guarantee about John Mayer’s “Battle Studies” is that it’s your perfect album for this winter season.  Don’t get me wrong, an intimate connection can definitely be made as it explores heartbreak and love and the insecurity of it all, but for the most part, looking at it as a soundtrack in life, the music takes you on  a winter-wonderland walk down a city’s downtown covered in white Christmas.  Continuing with this imagery, the only catch is is that you’re not sure whether or not your love is walking right next to you….

All in all, badass album.  Can’t wait to connect with it on a personal level…
