Music Listen to Maroon 5′s New Single, Misery

It’s always a great day when there’s news to report about one of my absolute favorite bands: Maroon 5. Maroon 5′s new single “Misery” is available digitally today. The track will appear on their highly anticipated third studio album, Hands All Over, due out on September 21st. Produced by rock studio legend Robert John “Mutt” Lange (AC/DC, Def Leppard, The Cars), Hands All Over is a killer hybrid of rock, pop, funk and R&B. Recorded at Langes Switzerland studio, the members of Maroon 5 locked themselves in the mountains to patiently craft their latest effort. Starting with the hard-rocking title track, the album takes several intoxicating twists and turns including such compositions as Out of Goodbyes, a stunning country ballad infused with musical and vocal contributions from Nashville chart-toppers Lady Antebellum. Long-time fans will get a thrill out of the propulsive Stutter, melody rich Give A Little More and Dont Know Much About That, which professes a classic soulful vibe.

Head over to iTunes to grab “Misery” today and listen to the full track below.

Maroon 5 began writing the songs that appear on Hands All Over after winding down from a world tour in support of their 2007 studio release It Wont Be Soon Before Long. Several months later, the band received a phone call from Lange, who had heard that the band were beginning to write a new album, and expressed an interest in producing it.

We didnt even talk to anyone else, Adam Levine, Maroon 5s frontman says. Mutt is undeniably one of the most successful producers whos ever lived.

Jesse Carmichael, the bands keyboardist, added, Mutt really helped us play to the best of our ability. And it drove us to be bigger and better than ever.

The result is Hands All Over, a monumental record chock full of buoyant, unforgettable melodies. Recorded at Langes Switzerland studio, the members of Maroon 5 locked themselves in the mountains to patiently craft their latest effort. Starting with the hard-rocking title track, the albums 15 tracks take several intoxicating twists and turns including such compositions as Out of Goodbyes, a stunning country ballad infused with musical and vocal contributions from Nashville chart-toppers Lady Antebellum. Long-time fans will get a thrill out of Misery, with its funky guitars and high-stepping melody, as well as the propulsive Stutter, melody rich Give A Little More and Dont Know Much About That, which professes a classic soulful vibe.
