Moves Like Jagger

0 Comments

Maroon 5 collaborates with Christina Aguilera on the track Moves Like Jagger. The single is on the Billboard Hot 100 for five months. Lead singer Adam Levine says that this is the first time the band has employed songwriters outside of the band.

What I’ve learned from the recent few months is that it’s OK to collaborate with other songwriters. I was always kind of staunchly opposed to it in the past, I think almost to a fault. I think I’ve got a lot to offer as a songwriter, but everybody hits a wall.

Hands All Over

0 Comments

Hands-All-OverMaroon 5 releases their third studio album tired Hands All Over. The record features 12 tracks including singles Misery, Give A Little More and Never Gonna Leave This Bed. The band also collaborated with Lady Antebellum on the track Out Of Goodbyes.

There are definitely songs on this record that don’t fit together. But that’s kind of the beauty of it, and that’s kind of what we are. As much as our music is popular—like pop music—it doesn’t really sound like any other band.

Misery

Single Release0 Comments

Maroon 5 releases the single, Misery, from their album, Hands All Over. Adam Levine:

Misery’ is about the desperation of wanting someone really badly in your life but having it be very difficult. Kind of what all the songs I write are about. I’m not treading on new ground, but I think a lot of people – including myself – deal with that all the time. Relationships are difficult, and it’s good therapy to write about them.

It Won’t Be Soon Before Long

It_Wont_Be_Soon_Before_LongMaroon 5 releases their second studio album titled It Won’t Be Soon Before Long. The record features 12 tracks and six bonus tracks including the singles Makes Me Wonder and Wake Up Call. Maroon 5 took inspiration from Michael Jackson and Price when writing, recording and producing the album with Mike Elizondo, Mark Endert and Sam Farrar.

While we were on the road in Australia four years ago, Jesse (Carmichael) wrote this progression and we were jamming on it. I took that progression and made a demo of the song minus the chorus. The song sat around for four years. Then (four years later) the band minus me had this jam session and Mickey (Madden) wrote this bass line that everyone wound up jamming on. I took that jam session, put it on the speakers and wrote a melody over it. Then in the eleventh hour of making the record, we wound up tacking on that progression and melody to the original Makes Me Wonder, and now we had a chorus and there it is.
