Free Music Review: Superb Debut From The Surprise Sensations Of 2004
Hit: 5 Stars

When Maroon 5 first made their debut in England earlier this year, I have to admit that I wasn't that impressed - which is probably because I didn't take much notice. My friends took to them, but I didn't see what all the fuss was about. Then they released their second single and it completely blew me away, but only after a certain amount of persuasion! I hadn't even heard the song until it debuted on the charts, but through massive radio airplay in my college room, I soon grew to love this band as did the rest of my fellow students.

Maroon 5 are now one of the biggest success stories of 2004 with their awesome debut album "Songs About Jane." I'm not sure when this album was first released, but I've heard it was around two years ago! I'm only sorry I didn't discover them sooner. The lead singer of the band is Adam Levine, whilst James Valentine plays guitar. Mickey Madden plays bass, Jesse Carmichael plays on keyboard, and the *stunningly gorgeous* Ryan Dusick plays on drums. He's a hottie and a half!

The album opens with the first single "Harder To Breathe." The beat opens quietly before a loud brash of those drums and the strumming of the guitars. The vocals are clear, precise and the panting behind the chorus is incredibly funky and sexy. The song is a whirlwind of rock and pop and ends before the third minute. A great song to open the album and a smash hit debut single. "This Love" was the second single from the album and made the band a multi-platinum smash hit all over the world. This has to be one of the most popular songs of the past year because it appeals to a mass audience. My young cousin loves this song, as do my parents and even my funky grandma! The chorus is the song's strongest point and will no doubt become anthemic in a year or so. "Shiver" is up next and has a stop-start chorus with some great lyrics. It's not an album highlight, however, and partially recalls a Justin Timberlake song, without the guitars! "She Will Be Loved" works in complete contrast to the previous song, and is definitely an album highlight! As the third single from the album, the song is a gorgeous mid-tempo ballad. If it weren't for Levine's passionate vocals and the powerful and beautiful lyrics, this would be just another song, but it isn't. The chorus is amazing and the bridges build this up perfectly.

"Tangled" is another one of my favourites on the album. The song has a catchy and consistent verse arrangement which is preceded by a brilliant chorus, which appears to be the strong points for the boys in all aspects of their songs. "The Sun" is another favourite of mine on the album because of the vocal arrangement more than anything. Levine's vocals are on fine form as before, but this time the guitars play a larger role. The chorus is, once more, the strongest point of the composition, particularly towards the end. "Must Get Out" begins very strangely with soft and gentle guitar strumming and a background keyboard, before Levine makes his presence known with the opening line, "I've been the needle and the thread. Weaving figure eights and circles round your head." The vocal arrangement is great and very catchy and the way Levine's vocals rise and fall in the chorus makes the song so memorable. "Sunday Morning" is one of those rare songs that lives up to its title. You could definitely listen to this on a Sunday morning and feel refreshed after a night out. It's probably the album's best feel-good anthem. By mixing rock with soul and a tinge of gospel (with the clapping), the boys create a great and unique song that will appeal to many who encounter it.

"Secret" is seen by many to be the best song on the album, and I have to agree that it's definitely up there somewhere. The song takes 95 seconds before any singing, building up brilliantly with a stunning introduction. It's a song about driving down a desert road in the middle of nowhere, but with more focus on a relationship that has cannot begin. Secrets are the main topic here with an overwhelming sense of ambiguity, and I love it! "Through You" is another great mid-tempo song about the breakdown of a relationship. Despite the song being good, you get the feeling that the whole 'I Hate My Ex' theme is a bit overdone by now. "Not Coming Home" was performed live, or so it seems. With an enthusiastic audience, the band bring something to the album that was lacking. Levine's vocals are as strong live as they are on the rest of the studio-sung album, which is something usually rare from most singers. The album closes with "Sweetest Goodbye," which is a perfect closer to the album. This is definitely not the strongest song on the album and is probably a little forgettable because it's placed last on the album, but then again, you really connect with it when you're listening.

OVERALL GRADE: 9/10

This year has produced some really cool music that I've connected with to extremely well. I love exploring different styles and finding out what other music I will love. It's called expanding one's horizons, and I feel that with artists such as Maroon 5 I have done this! I've bought more than 25 albums this year and I'd definitely say that Songs About Jane is in my Top 10! This album has been a success because these boys actually have talent and produce some amazing music that appeals to a wide audience - they also happen to be rather sexy, especially Adam and Ryan! I'd recommend this album to anyone with an eye for exciting and fun-loving music.
