The gang, y’all!
‘Baby, she’ll eat you alive, as soon as she smells your blood in the water,’ thus starts Ladykiller, one of the highlights from Overexposed. Maroon 5′s foray into undeniably and (semi) hitherto uncharted pop waters is lovely. Look, I’m a proud owner of Maroon 5′s entire discography. B-sides, deluxe editions, live sets: I have them all. And their recent resurgence makes me nothing but happy. I love them. Anyway, as much as every review begins with ‘Maroon 5 have decided to sell their souls to the devils of popular music,’ a lot of this sounds a return to their classical pop/rock roots. Fortune Teller rip-roars through an undeniable hook, yes, but wouldn’t sound out of place on Songs About Jane. The album’s a delight and arrived perfectly in time for my vacation. Listen to Ladykiller below and the exciting sound of Fortune Teller after the jump:
