PJ Morton, New Orleans: Album Review
When Maroon 5 announced their Overexposed album, I did a double take when I realized that there was a new member. Keyboardist PJ Morton joined Adam Levine and co. for their most recent album and tour, and has since gone on to release his first major label album, New Orleans, on hometown label Young Money. So, to encapsulate, the black dude from Maroon 5 just released an album on the hottest rap label around. Roll that around in your head […]
Who Said They’re “Wack”? The Lonely Island Plan New Album
Blame the incredibly long shadow of “Weird Al” Yankovic or the crop of so many dime-a-dozen parodists dropping quickly-crafted goofs on YouTube, but it always feels that The Lonely Island are criminally underrated. Sure, the trio of writer/actors Andy Samberg, Jorma Taccome and Akiva Schaeffer have earned plenty of acclaim for their daffy song satire, thanks to their beloved Digital Shorts on Saturday Night Live , where Samberg acted and Taccome wrote for several years. Some of these clips, including the ’90s R&B pastiche “ Dick in a Box ” […]

Maroon 5’s new video for “Payphone” is out, but…where’s the rest of Maroon 5?
The Singles Bar: Maroon 5’s “Payphone” feat. Wiz Khalifa
So, um…I kinda don’t want to like the new Maroon 5 song, but I kinda do. The guys are certainly taking advantage of Adam Levine’s success as a mentor on the reality show “The Voice” and have embraced a poppier-than-usual sound for their upcoming fourth album Overexposed, due on June 26th. First single “Payphone” has a pretty immediate hook. I can picture this one all over the radio this spring and summer (and I’m sure the folks at “The Voice” […]
Maroon 5 Embrace Pop Trends, Irony on New LP “Overexposed”
If you liked Maroon 5’s odd duck of a single, last year’s chart-topping club banger “ Moves Like Jagger ,” you’re going to love their fourth album Overexposed , described by the band as their “poppiest” yet. The soul-pop quintet did a total 180 from 2010’s Mutt Lange-produced Hands All Over on the inescapable “Jagger,” downplaying their usual skittering funk guitars for swirly synths and high-energy beats (not to mention the howling vocal acrobatics of Christina Aguilera). That track, produced by pop wizards Shellback and […]
