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.

“It’s not a ‘costume’ record. That’s what took the most time,” John explained. “I started off by saying, ‘OK, let’s go full Def Leppard Hysteria on this,’ then I’d do that and have a blast, and then I’d 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, it’s 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 don’t believe it.”
