Maroon 5 - V

maroon5It’s been a busy time for Maroon 5 frontman Adam Levine, who married model Behati Prinsloo and is co-starring with Keira Knightley in the film Begin Again. Now the 35-year-old singer, who’s also a coach on TV’s The Voice, leads his band back with its fifth studio album. Like its predecessor, Overexposed, the latest features a dance-friendly sound assisted by producer Benny Blanco. Lead single “Maps,” which boasts a Sting and Police-like refrain, is a co-write between Levine and OneRepublic’s Ryan Tedder, who’s penned hits for Beyoncé and Adele. The falsetto-drenched “Animals,” an ode to primal urges and instincts, is also on the charts. Meanwhile, Maroon 5 fans will thrill to hear Levine and Gwen Stefani team up on the piano ballad “My Heart is Open.” Having previously scored a smash with Christina Aguilera on 2011’s “Moves Like Jagger,” Levine's latest duet promises to keep Maroon 5 busy as well.
