Description
Following the immense popularity of their latest offering Hands All Over, funk-pop gods Maroon 5 will return to Australia for a series of arena shows in May 2011.
The popular American quintet, led by affable front man and talented lead vocalist Adam Levine, initially rocketed to fame with their 2002 multi-platinum debut Songs About Jane which reached #2 on the ARIA Album Chart and consisted of hit singles ‘Sunday Morning, ‘She Will Be Loved’ and ‘Harder to Breathe’.
After a second Platinum album in It Won’t Be Soon Before Long and numerous Grammy, MTV Video Music and Billboard Music Awards, Maroon 5 have released their third studio album Hands All Over.
Having previously collaborated with R&B songstress Rhianna on popular single ‘If I Never See Your Face Again’; Hands All Over sees Maroon 5 join forces with Nashville chart-toppers Lady Antebellum and famed producer Robert John “Mutt” Lange.
Lange, whose prior work with industry heavyweights Def Leppard, AC/DC and Shania Twain has earned him a high degree of notoriety, invited the band to Switzerland to record Hands All Over at his studio and the result is a thrilling hybrid of rock, pop, funk and R&B showcasing Levin’s soulfully smooth vocals set to robust riffs and enticing hooks.
Hands All Over sat sweetly in the Top 10 ARIA Albums upon its September release and has received copious praise from fans and critics:
‘On Maroon 5's third album, their already polished sound is burnished to a high-gloss glow…Levine and crew could be blue-eyed-soul godheads, the 21st-century Hall and Oates.’- Rolling Stone
‘You’ll be hard pressed to find someone who won’t move their body to the groovy tunes of Maroon 5‘s new album, Hands All Over.’ – Neon Limelight
The album is testimony to the thriving talent of Maroon 5 following an accolade laden eight year career that has left the band constantly in demand across the globe.
Maroon 5 will feel right at home in Australia’s finest arenas as fans congregate to celebrate their return.
