Born and RaisedJohn Mayer2.0

The drums on this sound like they were miked from two rooms over, and his voice sits so close and so soft that nothing else on the record ever has to compete with it. Queen of California opens well enough, then it finds a mid-tempo shuffle and stays there. Blunderbuss came out the same spring with a band actually trying to break something. I gave this three goes because people I trust swear by it, and the third time I was asleep before Walt Grace. Two stars: one for Queen of California, one for the nap.

Big Girls Crysong · 1000 Forms of Fear · Sia4.5

Chandelier is the one everybody knows off 1000 Forms of Fear. I'd still take Big Girls Cry. The vocal stays low and a bit cracked through the verses and only climbs when the arrangement does, where Chandelier parks everything at the top of her range and leaves it there. Next to the rest of the 2014 pop singles it sounded underdressed to me at first. Third listen, on headphones, is when I noticed how much of it is her breathing between lines. Verdict: big girl, did cry.
