Maroon 5 is promoting its 5th studio album called “V”. Launched in 2014, the disc was number one in the U.S. Billboard 200 charts. The band’s Bucharest concert is actually part of the “Maroon V Tour” started in February 2015 in the US.
Until now the “V” album was promoted through 5 singles: “Maps” and “Animals” in 2014, “Sugar”, This Summer’s Gonna Hurt like a Motherfucker” and “Feelings” in 2015. The songs were recorded in Los Angeles and produced by Max Martin, Benny Blanco, Ryan Tedder from Onerepublic, Shellback and Sam Martin. The band worked for about a year at the album, and it is the result of the hard work of old crew members like Adam Levine, James Valentine, Mickey Madden, Matt Flynn, PJ Morton, and of the keyboardist Jesse Carmichael who took a break during the recording of the “Overexposed” material.
The band debuted in 1994 and its initial name was Kara’s Flowers. Only in 2001 the crew members felt that a name change was much needed. So when the guitar player James Valentine joined the band, they opted for “Maroon 5”. Since them, the members remained the same except the break took by Carmichael. The crew members are Adam Levine (voice and guitar), Jesse Carmichael (keyboards, synthesizers, guitar and backing vocals), Mickey Madden (bass), James Valentine (guitar, backing vocals), Matt Flynn (drums) and PJ Morton (keyboards and backing vocals).
According to Billboard, Maroon 5 occupies the 44th place in the list “Greatest of All Time Hot 100 Artists”. Some of the most famous songs launched by Maroon 5 are “She Will Be Loved”, “This Love”, “Payphone”, “Moves Like Jagger”, “One More Night”, “Misery”, “Won’t Go Home Without You”, “Sunday Morning” and “Animals”. Also, the debut single from the album “V” is called Maps and it set the record for the best start of a band in Top 40 from the last 18 years and it entered Top 100 in over 18 countries.
Maroon 5’s Bucharest concert is one of the most exciting events of 2016. It is a musical event that will gather a large crowd of fans who have been following the band’s evolution and amazing success throughout the years.
