\"JMayer\"(3.3.1017) By Lindsey Smith–<\/strong>The second wave of John Mayer\u2019s The Search For Everything <\/em>is in fact everything fans of his music have been searching for in his absence from the music scene the past several years. Branching out of his regular style, Mayer combines his life experiences with his incredible talent to create a smorgasbord of sounds. You don\u2019t have to be a fan of Mayer\u2019s earlier work to enjoy any of these new songs. There\u2019s something for everyone.<\/p>\n

The second wave is everything found in the first wave and more. Several songs incorporated some of his earlier blues and acoustic rock style, but several songs also included a variety of sounds like folk, country, and funk which lead to very different musical experiences. His four newest songs are titled \u201cStill Feel Like Your Man,\u201d \u201cHelpless,\u201d \u201cEmoji of a Wave,\u201d and \u201cRoll it on Home.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cStill Feel Like Your Man\u201d incorporates blues, pop, and funk sounds in an upbeat song featuring semi-sad lyrics. If you\u2019re just getting over a breakup, this song is for you.<\/p>\n

\u201cHelpless\u201d is reminiscent of the glory days of The Rolling Stones, with a heavier electric sound and rock style. As a lover of most rock music, this song was my favorite of the second wave.<\/p>\n

\u201cEmoji of a Wave\u201d is a folk song mixed with the laid back style of the backup vocalist, a member of The Beach Boys. While it is on the slower side, it\u2019s an enjoyable song to listen to while driving or hanging out.<\/p>\n

The last song, \u201cRoll it on Home,\u201d has the most country vibe to ever come from Mayer. It seems a complete separation from his regular style, but Mayer makes it work with his signature vocals.<\/p>\n

Mayer\u2019s most recent album is the culmination of three years of studio sessions. Simply labeled as a breakup album after his separation from girlfriend Katy Perry in 2014, Mayer believes this album is more aptly described as his interpretation of loss. Mayer is releasing The Search For Everything <\/em>a little bit differently than past albums. He is giving fans four songs a month until the full release later this spring. After the first wave hit the internet in January, expectations were high. With Mayer\u2019s wide range of talents, this new release is definitely a hit.<\/p>\n

All of Mayer\u2019s new songs can be found on Spotify, iTunes, YouTube, and several other music sites. Mayer is also set to go on a North American leg for his world tour the summer of 2017. Concert dates and locations can be found on his official website here: http:\/\/johnmayer.com\/<\/a>. Tickets are already on sale.<\/p>\n
