I’ve been a fan of Maroon 5 since they successfully penetrated the mainstream music scene in 2002 with some of their chart-topping hits from their album Songs About Jane then. They also had tunes which rocked my world on their other records like their 2007 It Won’t Be Soon Before Long.
Though I admit on the recent years, when Adam Levine and company were making more funkier pop tracks than the rock-ish ones, they don’t sound well for me. Maybe, I’m more in favor of their alternative rock side than what the mainstream culture offers us right now.
On the flip side though, as their listener, their music have to evolve, which is actually good for both business and art aspects. I remember the album version of Makes Me Wonder sounds better than its concert counterpart. The funky vibe jived well with the rock tune, plus the melodramatic lyrics found underneath that upbeat tune.
Moving on, I am seeing almost the same thing with Sugar, their latest single off their latest album V which by the way was released a few days ago (January 13 to be exact). It’s their third after Maps and Animals.
