四次格莱美最佳流行男歌手John Mayer的第四张录音室专辑，上张专辑《Continuum》反响强烈，但这次John选择了一种更新鲜的编曲方式。关于专辑名，John说这张专辑之所以叫Battle Studies，在于它包含了许多教训，许多观察还有一点点的建议。格莱美奖拿到手软的John Mayer，已经对流行音乐掌握到了一定程度。第四张正式专辑《Battle Studies》当中，John Mayer更多地把玩起了原声乐器，浅吟低唱代替了花样繁多的风格转换，这也是一位不置于演唱的流行乐手在尝试多种可能性的行动，由流行摇滚到布鲁斯，再到这张偏于乡村民谣甚至是迷幻音乐的新作，John Mayer的每一次尝试都谨小慎微，却又成效卓著。John Mayer新专辑的Half Of My Heart，虽说是与Taylor Swift合作，可是Taylor Swift好像就那么一两句,并未能满足乐迷的需求。
