Maroon 5 is a mix of pop and rock band that is comprised of five men, Matt Flynn, Mickey Madden, Adam Levine, Jesse Carmichael, and James Valentine. They have been together since 1994, originating in Los Angeles California. They have produced four albums Songs About Jane, Won't Be Soon Before Long, Call and Response: The Remix Album, and Hands All Over. Maroon 5 mainly produces songs about love and women. They range from slow powerful songs to upbeat dance songs. Maroon 5 is comparable to artists such as John Mayer and The Script. Coincidentally John Mayer attended college with Valentine at Berklee College of Music. They were close friends and worked on projects together. They all are good looking males that can sing with a lot of passion. Two of my favorite songs from Maroon 5 are “Sunday Morning” and “She Will Be Loved”. “Sunday Morning” is about a man and woman just getting out of the everyday routine being content just lying around being with each other. They are enjoying each other’s company and that is all they need to be happy. “She Will Be Loved” is about a man fighting for a woman. He will do anything to love her and be with her. He will go through the hardships to make her happy and love her. Both of these are two of their most famous songs. Maroon 5 has pleased the critics over the years. They have had some poplar albums and some not so popular albums but I like all their music they have produced as a band. They have created music that can be listened to in any situation or mood you are in. Overall I believe Maroon 5 is a great band with music that will please anyone. They are a band well worth your time spent listening to them and your money.
