Maroon 5 are on a roll, and they're not about to take the foot off the gas. Even as the group gears up to headline this summer's 2013 Honda Civic Tour with Kelly Clarkson, they've already begun work on the follow-up to last year's Overexposed.
"We're just getting started. We've got some great songs in the can," singer Adam Levine said about the group's as-yet-untitled fifth album.
The 31-date tour will kick off on August 1 in St. Louis and runs through an October 5 gig in San Diego. Among the opening acts on the tour are Rozzi Crane, who is signed to Levine's 222 Records label, "The Voice" alum Tony Lucca and Young Money crooner PJ Morton. "I think the live outdoor kind of summer vibe is always different than the indoor arena tour because there's less emphasis on production and more on live music," Levine told the Associated Press. "It's kind of the purist form of a tour 'cause there's not too many bells and whistles."
Overexposed has spawned the #1 hits "Payphone," "One More Time" and "Daylight," with the latter giving the group a record for the most #1's (six) by a group in the top 40 chart's 20-year history.
Guitarist James Valentine said the new music is going to be a change of pace from the current album's radio-friendly pop. "The stuff we're working on now, it definitely has gone maybe a little darker in its sound, maybe back a little bit more to what we kind of did on (our debut) Songs About Jane," he said. "But at this point we do have all kinds of different songs and it is early."
