OVEREXPOSED – the title of  MAROON 5’s latest album under MCA Music was an inside joke, a pre-emptive approach to what was inevitably going to be said of the band. With front man Adam Levine’s venture into TV, as a mentor for the hit reality show The Voice, Maroon 5 has reached that stage where their popularity has become increasingly hard to deny. “It’s like, ‘We get it—we’re overexposed,’” Levine says with a laugh. “We’re just trying to pre-emptively go where the conversation is headed anyway. We figured we’d get there first.” Their phenomenal hit “Moves Like Jagger”, a song that went down in history as one of the most downloaded songs, prompted the band to explore the idea of co-writing. The underlying message of their new album title captures the band’s willingness to take a step further. “I feel like we’ve been standing on the edge of a cliff for a long time,” Levine says. “We’re a band that’s always been close to being full-on pop, but that’s rooted in a lot of other things: rock, soul, funk, the list goes on. Overexposed is the first time we’ve ever completely embraced the idea of making pop music—of making songs for the radio. We just said, ‘Let’s not be afraid to do what we basically are.’”

The album features collaborations with well-known producers Max Martin (Executive Producer), Benny Blanco and Ryan Tedder. Their single off their new album, “Payphone”, is an incredibly catchy and sweet pop song that features rapper Wiz Khalifa. Whether it’s a new approach to songwriting or the band’s headed over to a new direction, there is still one thing that remains true: Maroon 5 continuously creates great music. And with fans awaiting their return, Maroon 5’s Overexposed Tour would be an affirmation of the fact that people all over will always and continuously support the wonderful music that the band makes. 

Maroon 5’s OVEREXPOSED album is set to be released on June 25th in CDs exclusively under MCA Music available at Astroplus and Odyssey Music & Video or online via www.MyMusicStore.com.ph. Also available: A two-cd set of Maroon 5’s Songs About Jane 10th Anniversary Edition.
