Album Review: John Mayer - The Search For Everything

Aneta Grulichova

"Broken-hearted Mayer's artistic exploration feels safe, soulless and just plain sad."

More John Mayer John Mayer Profile

The Search For Everything explores John Mayer's mistakes as he bares his soul, his heart and the dark parts of his mind, but fails to capture our hearts.

With a funky-smooth beat, single Still Feel Like Your Man has ex Katy Perry written all over it, while Emoji Of A Wave slows things down with its calming rhythm. Broken-hearted Mayer's artistic exploration feels safe, soulless and just plain sad as his songs begin to lack that spark that give the album life. He is one talented artist that can sing his little heart out and charm you with his guitar, but he needs to keep searching.
