Three words: damn good songwriting. And that's an understatement. Songs About
Jane is a strikingly brilliant soulful rock album built from songs so memorable
that not getting them stuck in your head would probably require defying one
of the more prominent laws of physics. What makes them so good? Simplicity.
While many groups overcomplicate things in an attempt at making up for mediocre
songwriting (listen to commercial radio for good examples of this), Maroon 5
decide to just write good music in the first place. Tasteful guitar riffs with
well-placed breaks give the songs breathing room for the distinctly smooth vocal
delivery of Adam Levine and prove that good music really is just as much about
the notes you don't play as the ones you do.

Bio[+]Fronted by singer / guitarist Adam Levine, Burbank’s Maroon 5 creates diverse music seated in the alternative rock realm, yet heavily influenced by soul, R&B and hip-hop. The group, formerly known as Kara’s Flowers, first became publicly active when they played L.A.’s famed concert spot, The Whiskey in 1995. After releasing 1997’s The Fourth World on Reprise Records, the group fell back to regroup, altering their direction and adding guitarist James Valentine to their lineup. The result was a new band influenced by urban vibes, yet still issuing rock ‘n’ roll from their fingertips. Their Octone Records debut, Songs About Jane was released in 2002.
