I'm sure that line has found itself stuck on your head when you heard that song. That is no surprise as Maroon 5 has been releasing catchy music since they debuted a couple of years ago.
Maroon 5 showed their brilliance in pop music when they released their latest album called Overexposed. Before the album was released, they teased us with a song called Moves Like Jagger which was a collaboration with Christina Aguilera and it dominated radio and music channels everywhere.
Upon announcing their new album, they revealed that they were aiming for a more pop-sounding album. It received mixed reactions and when they premiered their debut single, Payphone, I expected that it will be a good album even though I've seen some comments that they did not like it. I thought it was a good choice for a lead single. It was catchy, it can capture the listeners' attention and it has a sweet message.
Despite criticisms, the album opened successfully on its first week, even opening on #2 on the Billboard albums chart.
The album has a very interesting and colorful cover which somehow shows how the songs in the album are mostly filled with groovy and radio-friendly tracks. If you like pop music, you will like this one. However, if you're looking for their older sound, you may find yourself disappointed like some of the other fans. Though it's still has catchy choruses like their earlier songs, it sounds so manufactured and generic as a whole when compared to their previous releases but if you'll look at it as a standalone album, it is a solid piece of work.
Their second single from the album, One More Night, is a proof how they are such hitmakers. The song spent 9 weeks at #1 on the Billboard chart consecutively which is not so easy to do.
The album is filled mostly of upbeat and midtempo tracks such as Doin' Dirt,Lucky Strike,The Man Who Never Lied and Love Somebody.
The only song I don't like in this album is the ballad, Sad, but I would still recommend this album to everyone.
