Maroon5 - Daylight

Has anyone else heard this song? I'm not particularly impressed after hearing it half an hour or so ago on KLCK.

Really getting burned out on them. The only song from them in the past few years I've really liked was "Payphone." Seems like they're more popular these days than in the mid-2000s when I (personally) think they had better songs. "One More Night" was super annoying, to me.

I think the record company like to rush artists into cutting one album after another and not give them much time to come up with something unique these days.

Maroon 5's career resurgence falls squarely on the shoulders of Adam Levine being one of the coaches on "the Voice". Yes, their current album is much more pop and it came along at a time when CHR needed straight forward pop acts- but certainly appearing on one of the country's top 10 TV programs doesn't hurt.

They were an also-ran band until Levine made the wise decision to remain culturally relevant. Sadly, this effect hasn't seemed to work for Christina Aguilera's music (save for her appearance on M5's "Moves Like Jagger")

I think it has more to do with Adam being able to elicit the help of successful, commercial co-writers since he joined up with The Voice - before that, he and his band were writing everything themselves (and running out of new ideas)

Certainly that is one factor, but its hard to discount having a nationwide audience of 15 million viewers to debut new songs in front of- which is the case with "Moves Like Jagger", "Payphone" and now "Daylight". When they performed the latter last week, Carson Daly pointed out that the previous debuts both went to #1. Its hard to find 15 million people watching any single event in 2012- so he certainly has a leg up.
