Longevity in the music industry is something many artists long for in their career. Maroon 5 has consistently been one of today’s leading artists with their discography spanning over 20 years. Their ability to incorporate different genres into their sound has helped them create some of their greatest hits of all time. This June, Adam Levine and his bandmates released their seventh studio album, Jordi.
Jordi is named after the band’s manager and Adam Levine’s childhood friend that died of a heart attack in 2017. The band dedicated their first single, Memories, to him and the song would go on to become a hit on the Billboard Chart. A remix of the single featuring YG & Nipsey Hussle can be found on the album. The group would go on to release two more singles within the last year, Nobody’s Love & the Megan Thee Stallion-assisted single, Beautiful Mistakes. Jordi features collaborations from a lot of today’s popular artists including blackbear, H.E.R., Bantu & Juice WRLD.
Filled with radio-friendly hits, the group continues to hone in on their formula of creating chart-topping songs with some of today’s artists. Make sure to add Jordi to your playlist for the car rides this summer. You can listen to the album on all music streaming services.
Maroon 5 Writings: Seasons & Can’t Leave You Alone
Seasons
I’ve been living it up
Deadening things
That had me like a puppet
Pulling my strings
Been feeling like Sonic
Collecting my rings
A new outlook on life
Let’s see what it brings
Hmm…peace and positivity
Spring we saw the growth
To prepare for the summer
We ready
And just like on a boat
We gonna rock steady
Right now we lighten the mood
Because our minds been heavy
Things changed so fasts
Quicker than the changing seasons
Now things looking up
Don’t wanna be down
Just want to party
For whatever the reason
Can’t Leave You Alone
Can’t leave you alone
While alone can’t leave me
At times I used to think
The problem used to be me
Relationships used to be so magical
Non-existent but now you see me
Had my fair share of disappearing acts
That made me want to disappear too
Had me playing their games
When I didn’t have a clue
tried to have me in my thinking chair
Thinking I’m Steve where’s my Blue
Done wasting your chances on something you blew
My outlook on life
Been refreshing and new
And before I get up out of here
I got plenty things to do
