How about this one, folks? A Maroon 5 and Lady Antebellum collaboration that features not one member of either group in the video? Ladies and gentlemen, I present you “Out of Goodbyes”. I may have been remiss in calling Maroon 5’s Hands All Over a flop. It’s been certified Gold, and Adam Levine’s hosting gig on “The Voice” has re-energized the album, as it’s crept back into the Billboard Top 200 with a vengeance. This song, one of the better […]

Maroon 5’s New Record Could Benefit From Some Dirtier “Hands”
For all the critical slings and arrows that get tossed their way, I’ve always thought Maroon 5 were pretty darn OK.

At any rate, there are lots of reasons to hate Maroon 5: their lead singer, Adam Levine, has impossible cheekbones and has carved several celebrity notches into his bedpost, they’ve got a […]
