Adam Levine’s distinctive vocals, backed by talented musicians on bass, guitar, and keyboard, have proven to be a successful formula for Maroon 5 since 2002. Poised to thrill the music world and with two hand-fulls of chart topper ready songs, if you haven’t already, you must get your Hands All Over Maroon 5’s latest release.

These soulful rockers fill Hands All Over – the band’s 3rd studio album – with genius tunes consistent with the quality their fans have grown to love and respect. It’s spunky, and it’s upbeat. It’s lyrically gratifying.

It’s Maroon 5.

“Give A Little More,” the get your hair brush, and sing into it while pretending you’re the lead singer jam, tops the list as one of the best cuts from the album.

And the title track, with its pronounced, 1980’s-esque guitar riffs, will certainly become the soundtrack for college bar, hair swinging battles across America.

The acoustic version of “Misery” better showcases Adam Levine’s uniquely talented voice than does the original release of the lead single. But the salacious video for the original version, where Adam Levine’s real life, super sexy, model girlfriend plays his physically aggressive love interest, makes it difficult to decide which “Misery” is more pleasurable.

Though these fellas are usually categorized as rock, Mr. Levine has joined forces with numerous artists such as pop singer, Natasha Bedingfield, on her sophomore album and rapper Kanye West on “Heard ‘Em Say.”

Just as they influence other genres, the Maroon 5 trademark mixes tastes from across the music spectrum. So it was no surprise the band collaborated with award winning trio, Lady Antebellum, for “Out of Goodbyes,”  a beautiful song combining country music star power with Maroon 5’s signature sound.

“Misery” is already topping Billboard’s Pop and Adult Songs charts, and just as Songs About Jane and It Won’t Be Soon Before Long topped albums’ charts, Hands All Over will certainly do the same.
