{"title":"Maroon 5","description":"\u003ch2\u003eAbout Maroon 5\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eMaroon 5 formed in Los Angeles in 1994 as Kara's Flowers (a high school band featuring Adam Levine, Jesse Carmichael, Mickey Madden, and Ryan Dusick). Kara's Flowers released The Fourth World (1997) on Reprise Records before dissolving in 2000. The reformed lineup as Maroon 5 (with James Valentine joining as guitarist in 2001) released their debut Songs About Jane (2002), which became a commercial breakthrough with the singles This Love, Harder to Breathe, and She Will Be Loved. They have continued releasing material across multiple decades with progressively pop-oriented production approaches. Adam Levine was a face of the band through his parallel work as a coach on The Voice (2011-2019) and 2024 return. They headlined the Super Bowl LIII halftime show in 2019.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSound and style\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eMaroon 5's sound combines pop rock, pop, funk rock, soul, dance-pop, and R\u0026amp;B with Adam Levine's distinctive falsetto vocal delivery, progressive evolution from their earlier funk rock approach (Songs About Jane era) toward more contemporary pop production approaches (V era onward), and lyrical content addressing relationships and personal experience.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eDiscography highlights\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSongs About Jane (2002, Octone\/J)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIt Won't Be Soon Before Long (2007, A\u0026amp;M\/Octone)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHands All Over (2010, A\u0026amp;M\/Octone)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOverexposed (2012, A\u0026amp;M\/Octone)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eV (2014, Interscope\/Octone)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRed Pill Blues (2017, Interscope\/222)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJordi (2021, Interscope\/222)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFor collectors\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eOctone\/A\u0026amp;M and Interscope pressings of the Maroon 5 catalog have been issued in multiple color variant editions and limited deluxe pressings.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhere to start\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eListeners new to Maroon 5 typically start with Songs About Jane (2002) or V (2014). \u003cspan class=\"related-collections\"\u003eExplore more: \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/pop-vinyl-records\"\u003ePop\/Indie-Pop\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"maroon-5-love-is-like-blue-vinyl","title":"Love Is Like LP","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe highly anticipated 8th studio album from Maroon 5, Love Is Like, Featuring the recent percussive, jazz-chord daydream hit \"Priceless\" ft.
