Maroon 5 have titled their fifth album “V” –which is the Roman numeral for "5" - and this will be released on September 2nd in the U.S – via their brand new label of Interscope Records. In “V”, the Adam Levine-led band follow the path they initiated with 2012's “Overexposed”, a “poppier” path. “Overexposed” worked so well for Maroon 5 that why change it, right? (well, I'm sure hardcore Maroon 5 - those who supported the band from the very beginning - won't be that happy for this on-going pop sound). “V” is again a POP-rock record, still very Maroon 5-sounding (yey! Those addictive Adam Levine falsettos are found plenty on “V”), and it was executive produced by Max Martin. He recruited a nice talented group of people to help Maroon 5 out on “V”, including; Darkchild, Ammo, Benny Blanco, Ryan Tedder, Stargate, among many more talented writers and producers.
The first single from “V” is the song “Maps” - which as of this post had reached the #6 position on the Billboard Hot 100. Second single is strongly rumoured to be “Animals”. One of the most anticipated songs from the new Maroon 5 album – ever since the tracklisting was made public – is the collaboration with Gwen Stefani “My Heart Is Open”. You can bet all of your money that these two will perform their first duet ever on the upcoming season of "The Voice" this Fall. It's so obvious.
“V” will come in two versions. Standard and deluxe. The former featuring 11 songs and the latter 14. The deluxe will include Adam Levine’s “Lost Stars” from “Begin Again”.
