    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.”

      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.

      Adam Levine Speaks Out About Maroon 5's 'Unprofessional' Performance

      by

      The frontman of the pop rock band takes to his Instagram Story to address the matter, apologizing to Chilean fans for letting them ‘down’ and admitting his behavior onstage is ‘unprofessional.’
      Feb 29, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Adam Levine is owning up to his unprofessionalism during a recent performance in Chile. 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.”

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.”
