Follow the success of his recent album Sob Rock, John Mayer dropped the music video for his track "Wild Blue" on Wednesday (August 18).
The new video, directed by Matthew Miguel Cullen, is a vibrant, nostalgic throwback to cloudy green screens, oversized blazers, and random floating objects flying past Mayer as he rocks out on his guitar, per NME.
Sob Rock, which dropped last month, is Mayer's eighth studio album and his first in four years. Prior to its premiere, Mayer spoke about how he wanted the album to be received, saying he "made a record that, to me at the time, only in a way to coax something out of me that I wouldn't have normally done, sh-tpost a record," per UPROXX.
"It's called Sob Rock because it's a sh-tpost," he said. "But more importantly, it's what I thought was a sh-tpost, and this gets down to where artists sit in front of you and play you what they thing is their garbage, and you go, 'That's the best thing I ever heard you play.'"
He continued, "It makes a mockery of their interpretation of the experience, which is just enough to break out of the mold and make something unique."
