Description
Sob Rock is the eighth studio album by American singer-songwriter John Mayer on Columbia Records. The album features guest vocals from Maren Morris. It was recorded between late 2017 and early 2021.
Its not a costume record. Thats what took the most time, John explained. I started off by saying, OK, lets go full Def Leppard Hysteria on this, then Id do that and have a blast, and then Id listen back and call bullshit on myself.
Mayer went deeper on the fine line between 80s-influenced and -throwback. For him, it was about dialling back on the more pronounced (and outlandish) aspects of the era which he dubbed Asymmetrical-neon-sunglasses 80s.
Yes, its funny to hear a chorused Jackson guitar going through the same amp they used back then, he said. But I had to figure out this genetic tightrope walk, where if it has too much retro-DNA, two things happen: I lose interest, and I dont believe it.
