In my case it happened to be five prodigal sons of bitches collectively called MAROON 5.My life was so plain dull before I've ever heard of 'em.Post SAJ, things were simple-clear-beautiful.I started to see things differently.The lyrics are soulful and touching.You can connect with them so easily.Especially if you are a person who diggs more into the lyrics.The one who starts reading between the lines.
Their debut record 'Songs about Jane' (we like to keep it short- SAJ), was no success overnight.It almost took 2 years for their album to make it into Billboard HOT 100.They toured like crazy.800 gigs.They were on road for like 2 years.'This Love','Harder to Breathe' and 'She will be Loved' were their smash hits.
Their much-awaited sophomore studio album IT WONT BE SOON BEFORE LONG (IWBSBL) was released on 22nd May, gaining success overnight.The first single MAKES ME WONDER had the biggest jump in the history of Billboard Hot 100 from #64 to #1.The lyrics as always deal with the relationship issues throwing light on finer points of love.
The Second single WAKE UP CALL is a typical Levine-Anger-Venting number with groovy funk which is a trademark of the band.The lines
I live on raw emotion baby
I answer questions never maybe
And I'm not kind if you betray me.
So who the hell are you to save me
give the song an angry start.The message the song carries terribly resembles an unpublished work of the band shortly called SDMF.Wake up call has the potential in it to become another chartbuster.
KIWI - as the name suggests would leave the first time listeners in a misconception that it is about a fruit,or Country,but none would have expected a song about ORAL SEX.
The album has a bitter sweet symphony of life, summing up the emotions for your girl, in WONT GO HOME WITHOUT YOU.This haunting melody ,is Adam's favorite track on the new record.
CAN'T STOP is a Maroon 5 signature styled number with fast-groovy beats.Matt Flyn, the new drummer of the band did extremely well, answering all the raised eye-brows questioning his replacement of Ryan Dussick.
Tracks like If I never see your face again,Goodnight Goodnight,Better that we break,Not falling Apart are the one which grow on you slowly but nevertheless take you down.
Back at your door is a composition of Jesse Carmichael (Keys) and has excellent orchestration with b.e.a.u.tiful lyrics.
Nothing lasts forever is one of favourites and has a lot to offer.Amazing Stuff - lyrics,melody,Adam's vocals of course.The lines
But we have not hit the ground
Doesn't mean we're not still falling
give you something to think about.
Little of your time has this unusual pace which you'll find interesting.The chorus, the rhythms make this song more catchy.
It wont be soon before long definitely is a record worth the wait.With more than 400k copies sold world-wide in the first week, this album is bigger than its predecessor for sure.
Go on, be obsessed.
