Maroon 5: Adam Levine (vocals, guitar); James Valentine (guitar); Jesse Carmichael (guitars, keyboards); Mickey Madden (bass guitar); Matt Flynn (drums). Thanks to steady touring and a debut album whose sales picked up at a steady clip after its release, Maroon 5 became one of the surprise break-out acts of the early 2000s. Expectations ran high for the band`s sophomore release, and 2007`s IT WON`T BE SOON BEFORE LONG delivers. Five years in the making, the album has the sound of a pop album that is well written and performed, painstakingly put together, and slickly and smartly produced. Maroon 5 have come a long way from the grunge-rock flavor of their tenure as Kara`s Flower`s (the band`s first incarnation). The group still rocks when they want to, but IT WON`T BE SOON finds M5 emphasizing smoother, melodic fare with an R&B twist. Traces of Michael Jackson, Hall & Oates, Prince, and other mainstream soul-pop icons can be heard in the mix, but Maroon 5 gives their sound a distinctive stamp, melding electronic influences, hip-hop, balladry, rock, and keen pop sensibilities. The overall vibe is stylish and sexy, and the top-shelf production glitters, but it`s the songwriting that takes center stage (just check the album`s first single "Makes Me Wonder").
