    Adam Levine Says Maroon 5's New Album Is 'Finished, Mastered, and Delivered'

    The former judge of ‘The Voice’ talks about his band’s next studio installment, confirming that the new album is done and is expected to come out sometime soon.

    Mar 5, 2021
    AceShowbiz – Maroon 5’s new album is “done.”
    Frontman Adam Levine has confirmed the “Sugar” hitmakers finished their follow-up to 2017’s “Red Pill Blues” amid the COVID-19 pandemic and teased it’s “not far off” being released.
    “I’m going to tell you right now that the album’s done,” he grinned. “And I can tell you it’s finished, I can tell you it’s been mastered, and I can tell you it’s been delivered, but I can’t tell you when it comes out. But it’s not far off, I’ll just say that.”
    The pop star admitted 2020 was “a strange year to make an album” and he struggled to get “fired up” in the beginning, but once he started focusing on just writing songs, things took off quickly.

    On making the record in quarantine, he told Zane Lowe on Apple Music 1, “I couldn’t really be fired up the way I normally was. So I had to just kind of experiment and then try different things. And doing it all at home, and balancing everything with helping family out, and there were a lot more variables than I think … We’ve all been facing a lot more variables and unknowns over the past year, so it was a strange year to make an album. “But once we got into the rhythm of it, it was pretty easy, because I just kind of immersed myself in it, and once I kind of got lost in the process of just continuing to write songs. And it was like that’s always how it is, man. Once you get started and the snowball rolls, it’s just you’re there.”
    Maroon 5 have just dropped their collaboration with rap sensation Megan Thee Stallion, “Beautiful Mistakes”, and Adam hailed the “Savage” hitmaker for bringing “a more epic kind of climax” to the song, which sees her show off her vocal talent as well as rapping skills.
    “I told her that when we finally met up, because obviously everything was done separate,” he explained. “And when we actually saw her in person, and we shot the video together, I told her. I was like the little break where you go to the melodic thing, to be honest, it actually shows this new kind of branch of what she does, and this new versatility that she’s going to show everybody right now. And I was so, I remember when I heard it, I was like, oh, that’s big. That’s a side of her I had never really heard yet. Well, it’s one of those great songs that I think kind of continues to build. And the way she built her part was just, it couldn’t have been a more epic kind of climax for the song. I mean, it really is absolutely perfect. So, I mean, what she did was just miraculous, and it brought the song to a whole new level.”

      The Maroon 5 frontman refuses to join in the conversation about who deserves to get nominated for the prestigious music awards, telling his fans to focus on ‘someone you love’ instead.

      Nov 27, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Adam Levine could not care less about the debate surrounding 2021 Grammy Awards. The Maroon 5 frontman refused to join in the conversation about who deserves to get nominated for the prestigious music awards after the Recording Academy came under fire following the Grammys’ nominations announcement.
      Making use of Instagram Story, the 41-year-old shared his thought on the matter along with a mirror selfie wherein he wore a colorful outfit and a pair of pink shoes. “I’ve decided that people either love or hate the Grammys too much,” he stated. “Seriously, who gives a f**k either way?” Instead, he encouraged his followers to “go hug someone you love.”

      Adam Levine urged fans to ‘hug someone’ they love instead of debating over 2021 Grammy Awards nominations.

      Adam’s statement came after a number of artists criticized the Grammys over its selections for the upcoming ceremony. One in particular was The Weeknd who made use of Twitter and Instagram to attack the awards show officials for snubbing him. “The Grammys remain corrupt. You owe me, my fans and the industry transparency,” he declared in the Tuesday, November 24 post.
      Following in the footsteps of The Weeknd was Teyana Taylor. She let out her annoyance on Twitter after failing to shortlist among male artists in the Best R&B Album category. “Y’all was better off just saying best MALE R&B ALBUM cause all I see is d**k in this category (sic),” she complained.
      Kehlani, on the other hand, shared a similar response with Adam. Although she also failed to land nods, she refused to get upset. In response to a fan’s urging, she stated, “HA! i don’t think anyone should ever be mad about these things. we are all hella blessed to do what we do and have so many fans affirming us daily, at shows, when we drop projects! stress makes you sick why you want me to be mad pookiepie (sic)!!”
      2021 Grammy Awards aside, Adam has won three Grammys in the past. He secured the Best New Artist trophy with his band in 2004, as well as two other wins for Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal for “This Love” and “Makes Me Wonder” in 2005 and 2007 respectively.

      Adam Levine Slams 'War on Marijuana' Due to Racial Bias in Maroon 5's 'Nobody's Love' Video

      by

      The band call for the end of ‘war on marijuana’ because they believe it failed to reduce the marijuana use and, instead, it’s carried out with ‘staggering racial bias.’
      Jul 25, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Maroon 5’s music video for their new single “Nobody’s Love” ends with a message about ending the “war on marijuana.”
      The band dropped their new video on Thursday (23Jul20), which features frontman Adam Levine rolling and smoking a joint.
      At the end of the video, a message from the ACLU (American Civil Liberties Union) is shown, which reads, “It’s time to end the War on Marijuana. The aggressive enforcement of marijuana possession laws needlessly ensnares hundreds of thousands of people into the criminal justice system and wastes billions of taxpayers’ dollars.”
      “What’s more, it is carried out with staggering racial bias. Despite being a priority for police departments nationwide, the War on Marijuana has failed to reduce marijuana use and availability and diverted resources that could be better invested in our communities.”

      In a statement, Maroon 5 and Interscope Records said they would be making a donation to Southern California’s ACLU branch.
      The video for “Nobody’s Love” was helmed by “Wedding Crashers” director David Dobkin, who has frequently collaborated with Maroon 5 over the years. It was shot on an Apple iPhone, and features Levine as the sole member of the group shown in the video.

      Feb 29, 2020

Hours after his band was heavily criticized for their lackluster performance at the Vina del Mar festival, the Maroon 5 frontman shouldered all the blame and issued an apology to disappointed fans.
      Taking to Instagram Story, the 40-year-old shared his side of the story about what happened at the Thursday, February 27 show. “You know, performing I take seriously, sometimes too seriously,” he said, “and to be totally frank there were some things holding me back sonically last night and I let them get to me and it impacted how I was behaving on stage, which was unprofessional and I apologize for that.”
      In the two-minute-plus video, the husband of model Behati Prinsloo went on to share, “Sometimes when those technical problems take place I zero-in and focus on singing because I feel like that’ll be the best way to put this thing out on TV for $60 million people, which is what that show was last night.” He added, “I struggled a lot and sometimes it’s really hard for me to mask the struggle. I did let you guys down and I apologize.”

      Admitting that “last night wasn’t our best,” the “Moves Like Jagger” hitmaker assured that he and his band considered Vina del Mar festival a “prestigious, amazing” event, and was thankful they have been given the chance to participate. He continued to promise fans that they would “completely destroy” their next performance in their South American tour.

      Maroon 5 took the stage at the Quinta Vergara stadium on day five of the Vina del Mar festival. Performing to a sold-out crowd, they found themselves under fire for allegedly refusing an introduction and walking away when they were presented with the traditional gaviotas. Levine, in particular, reportedly told the audience who tried to sing along, “Well, if you want to do my job, go ahead.” He was also captured on camera backstage, complaining, “That was a TV show! … That was not a concert.”

      Another user slammed Adam Levine and his band.
      Many have since expressed their disappointment online. One wrote on Twitter, “Love your music, but your show in Vina del Mar was disrespectful to every fan who paid and waited to see you live.” Another stated, “Lousy show. Haven’t seen such unprofessionalism in a good while. There are no excuses for doing such a poor job.” A third said, “The positive takeaway from the Maroon 5 show is that they reunited the country. Now all of Chile is united in their hatred toward this band. Good.”

      When stopping by ‘The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon’, the Jonas Brothers member admits he was ‘annoyed’ no one informed him of the dental snafu before he got onstage.
      Feb 27, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Nick Jonas learned he had spinach in his teeth during his Grammy Awards comeback performance from Adam Levine.
      The star and his Jonas Brothers bandmates Kevin Jonas and Joe Jonas wowed the crowd when they performed their track “What a Man Gotta Do” at the ceremony last month (January), but the singer was embarrassed when he discovered he had been making headlines for all the wrong reasons.
      And Jonas admitted he’s “annoyed” no one informed him of the dental snafu before the cameras caught it.
      “Here’s the thing that’s really frustrating about this, OK? First of all, there was spinach in my teeth from my breakfast, which I ate hours before. So the entire day, no one thought to be like, ‘Hey man, there’s something back there,’ ” he said on “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon”.
      After the Jonas Brothers left the stage, their manager gave Nick the bad news, leading him to check his phone – where he found a message from Adam Levine.
      “We were really excited because the performance went pretty well and it was like our Grammy moment. Our return,” Nick added. “I was so amped and I was like, ‘What’d you think?’ and he’s like, ‘Well, just don’t check (texts on phone)!’ ”
      He immediately checked his phone only to discover a teasing text from the Maroon 5 frontman.
