Their first studio album, Songs about Jane, was released in 2002, and stayed in the top 10 of the Billboard 200 for 26 months! A worldwide recognition followed, ‘they went platinum on their 10^th anniversary as a band, kept touring, won a Grammy, wrote new songs here and there, won another Grammy and opened for the Rolling Stones’[1].

After more touring and two live albums, the band recorded Hand All Over in 2010, produced by John ‘Mutt’ Lange.

In 2011, “Moves Like Jagger”, a song mostly composed by the Swedish whiz-kid shellback, hit the band hard with the irreverence, sheer dance-ability and pure catchiness’¹and inspired the Overexposed album, their 4^th studio album released June 24^th. “Payphone” featuring Wiz Khalifa introduced this new opus. The Maroon 5 pop rock neo-soul cocktail is still electrifying with tracks like “One More night”, “Lucky Strike” or “The Man who never lied”, proving that women and love is still at the heart of Maroon 5 writing. They also composed sweet romantic ballads such as “Sad and Beautiful Goodbyes”, adding some electro-pop beats such as “Love Somebody”, “Tickets” and “Doin Dirt”.
