Music reviews of Songs About Jane
Music Review: As refreshing as ice-water on a hot summer day; this brand of funk `oh-so-cool'...
Rating: 5 Stars
With their brilliant fusion of pop, funk and rock, Maroon 5 burst onto the music scene with a distinct sound and pretty much the complete package. Whether he's barking to funk filled rhythms on tracks like `Harder to Breathe' or crooning on melodic ballads like `She Will Be Loved', Adam Levine always stands out as interesting and vocally gifted. The smooth tone in his voice is perfectly crafted for this style of music, and it's that voice (and of course the band's commitment to Levine's style) that makes `Songs About Jane' one of the best albums to be released in a long time.
The quartet of singles that came off this album (`Harder to Breathe', `This Love, `She Will Be Loved' and `Sunday Morning') are all defining moments on the album. `Harder to Breathe' may very well be the song they will always be remembered for, their debut single and one of the most infectiously entertaining songs ever. Who doesn't just love singing along to this song every time it comes on the radio. `This Love' has such a funky cool vibe to it, totally into itself and it drips with this sweet sensuality. `She Will Be Loved' was one of those songs I LOVED the first time I heard it but quickly got tired of. Thankfully I haven't heard it in a long time, so now that I'm revisiting the album I find myself in love with the song again. It is so sweet and charming, and it has this mellow tone that separates itself from the album. `Sunday Morning' was one of my favorite parts of the album when I first heard it, and I was so delighted when it was made a single. To me, of the four singles, it is the most definitive of the band as a whole. It has such a smooth texture to it, just silky smooth tones and it just melts all over the listener.
Beautifully done.
The great thing about `Songs About Jane' is that the ENTIRE album is just as good as the tracks that got radio play. It really is a complete album, without an ounce of apparent filler going on anywhere. Every song feels like it was meant to be there.
`Shiver' and `Not Coming Home' have a special `POP' to them that sets them apart from the album. `Shiver' is just flawless, so much fun and it just has this vibe to it that reminds me a lot of Justin Timberlake; that undeniable coolness that makes you desire to hear it again and again. `Not Coming Home' is very similar in style but it's not mere copycat; it is just as fresh and enticing. Adam's vocals reign supreme on both these tracks, but especially on `Not Coming Home'.
Tracks like `Tangled', `The Sun' and `Through with You' carry the smooth funk vibe, nothing vibrant like `Shiver' but it has musical arrangements and vocals that just caress you. This is the kind of music that feels almost comforting; soft and warm. `Must Get Out' has an old soul, and I like that about it. It feels almost vintage to me, but it works for it maintains the freshness that the album has. I absolutely adore everything about `Secret', a track that is soft and delicate and reminds me of Incubus almost, the softer `Drive' like side of Incubus. This is seriously one of the best tracks on an album full of `best' tracks.
And then there is the closing song, `Sweetest Goodbye', and how sweet it is. It's a very gentle song, nothing overpowering but it sums up nicely why this band is so remarkable; for even in their subtlest moments they make a lasting impression. So, when the album closes we cannot wait to listen to it from the very beginning. From that funky freshness of `Harder to Breathe' all the way down to the serene flow of `Sweetest Goodbye', `Songs About Jane' never disappoints.
Description of Songs About Jane
Maroon 5 aren't the first band to fuse R&B and rock, but they certainly are one of the most convincing. One can almost hear Stevie Wonder's beaded braids clattering in time to their deep, funky grooves. At best, the band conjures up latter-day Motown, complete with a shuddering organ and hyperbolic vocals; at worst, they sound like a stylized boy band, with all the attendant close harmonies and dramatic pauses. But despite these musical schisms, Maroon 5 are a thoroughly engaging outfit, thanks to throbbing bass lines, hooky songs, and lead singer Adam Levin's swaggering delivery. --Jaan UhelszkiGeneral CDs
