    John Mayer set for 'Battle' in 2010
    View quote in context »
    Co-produced by Mayer and Steve Jordan, "Battle Studies" is described by the artist as a "confessional, relaxed and liberated album" that incorporates "the warmth, melodies and simplicity of '70s and '80s California rock/pop," according to a press release. "I approach music like a director doing a period piece ... Where 'Continuum' was R&B and Soul, 'Battle Studies' was written with the timelessness of Tom Petty, Fleetwood Mac and Neil Young in mind. The melodies and message are concise and from-the-gut with the efficiency of simplicity." The set follows Mayer's 2006 album "Continuum," which earned the performer three 2007 Grammy nods, and two wins: Best Pop Vocal Album and Best Male Pop Vocal Performance for the album's first single, "Waiting on the World to Change."
