The Singles Bar: Maroon 5's "Payphone" feat. Wiz Khalifa

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” […]

The Singles Bar: Rahsaan Patterson’s “Crazy*Juicy (Dub)”

If you read our review of Rahsaan Patterson’s Bleuphoria from a few months back, you should already be aware that he’s one of our favorite singers, and now one of our favorite songs from the album has gotten the remix treatment. In it’s original version, “Crazy (Baby)” is just fine, featuring Rah’s idiosyncratic vocals over a danceable beat highlighted by high-end synthesizer stabs and background vocals by Faith Evans and Shanice Wilson. The remix leans on a hefty sample of […]

Spin Cycle: Overkill's "The Electric Age"

Spin Cycle: Overkill’s “The Electric Age”

I’m not sure exactly what happened in the past few years and if it is related to the emergence of a new generation of bands emulating the ’80s thrash metal style, but over the past couple of years, many of the originators of the genre have been releasing some of their best albums in years, if not, in some cases, of their careers. While Overkill has always been good at releasing consistently good albums, their last few albums have been […]

Maroon 5 Embrace Pop Trends, Irony on New LP "Overexposed"

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 albumĀ  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 OverĀ 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 […]
