Maroon 5 - Hands All Over
Maroon 5's third studio album - produced by rock studio legend Robert John "Mutt" Lange (AC/DC, Def Leppard, The Cars) - is a killer hybrid of rock, pop, funk, and R&B.
Maroon 5 began writing the songs that appear on 'Hands All Over' after winding down from a world tour in support of their 2007 studio release 'It Won’t Be Soon Before Long'. Several months later, the band received a phone call from Lange, who had heard that the band were beginning to write a new album, and expressed an interest in producing it.
"We didn’t even talk to anyone else," Adam Levine, Maroon 5's frontman, says. "Mutt is undeniably one of the most successful producers who's ever lived."
The result is 'Hands All Over', a monumental record chock full of buoyant, unforgettable melodies. Recorded at Lange's Switzerland studio, the members of Maroon 5 locked themselves in the mountains to patiently craft their latest effort.
Starting with the hard-rocking title track, the album's 15 tracks take several intoxicating twists and turns including such compositions as 'Out of Goodbyes', a stunning country ballad infused with musical and vocal contributions from Nashville chart-toppers Lady Antebellum.
Long-time fans will get a thrill out of the first single 'Misery', with its funky guitars and high-stepping melody, as well as the propulsive 'Stutter', melody rich 'Give A Little More' and 'Don't Know Much About That', which professes a classic soulful vibe.
