MANILA, Philippines - Maroon 5 is once again set to put its hands all over Manila. Catch the Grammy Award-winning quintet as they bring their Overexposed Tour to the Philippines, with special guest The Cab, on September 18, 2012 at the Smart Araneta Coliseum.
Frontman Adam Levine, guitarist James Valentine, bassist Mickey Madden, drummer Matt Flynn, and keyboardist PJ Morton are set perform their latest hits, Moves Like Jagger, Payphone, and One More Night, alongside all-time favorites.
Overexposed, the title of Maroon 5’s latest album, is an inside joke—a pre-emptive strike to what was inevitably going to be said about the band. With Levine’s venture into television as a mentor on the hit reality show The Voice, Maroon 5 has reached the stage where their popularity has become increasingly hard to deny.
Their latest phenomenal hit Moves Like Jagger. a song that went down in history as one of the most paid downloaded songs, prompted the band to explore the idea of co-writing. The underlying message of their new album’s title captures the band’s willingness to take their music a step further, a representation of the risks they’ve taken.
“We’re a band that’s always been close to being full-on pop, but that’s rooted in a lot of other things—rock, soul, funk, and the list goes on,” says Lavine. “Overexposed is the first time we’ve ever completely embraced the idea of making pop music, of making songs for the radio. We just said, ‘Let’s not be afraid to do what we basically are.’”
The album features collaborations with well-known producers Max Martin (the album’s executive producer), Benny Blanco, and Ryan Tedder. The single off of their new album, Payphone, is an incredibly catchy song that features rapper Wiz Khalifa in its verse. It seems the band is heading over to the “pop” direction with heads held high.
Now, with many Filipino fans awaiting their return, Maroon 5’s Overexposed Tour may be an affirmation of the fact the people all will continue to support the music that the band makes—whatever the genre. And as Maroon 5 gets ready to play Manila, we remember that while great music is wonderful, it is more incredible when heard live.
