Maroon 5 takes this song to the next level by collaborating with Wiz Khalifa. The following song, “Payphone,” has been heavily promoted as the group’s first single from “Overexposed” and is one of the album’s strongest tracks. The lyrics and tone create a vibe similar to that of “Moves Like Jagger,” making “One More Night” one of the catchiest songs on the album. This song makes clear that Maroon 5 is by no means a one-man show. The first track, “One More Night,” effectively sets the stage for the rest of the album by showcasing frontman Adam Levine’s falsetto, as well as the role of the other Maroon 5 musicians, who provide the steady background rhythm that makes listeners want to literally move to the beat. The tearful “Wipe Your Eyes” and nostalgic “Beautiful Goodbye” reveal the sensitive side of Maroon 5 that fans have gotten glimpses of in past albums, but is predominant throughout “Overexposed.” “Overexposed” is the group’s fourth studio album and has already generated two radio hits with “One More Night” and the Wiz Khalifa collaboration “Payphone.” But these two singles are just a sample of an album that demonstrates Maroon 5’s growth and development since emerging onto the music scene in 2002 with its debut album, “Songs about Jane.” This time around, there are more collaborations and more experimentation with ballad-like songs, in addition to the soft piano melodies and dominant electric guitar of classic Maroon 5. While many of us are still enjoying the hit song “Moves Like Jagger,” Maroon 5’s new album provides a full set of fresh tunes that show a new and more sensitive side of this popular group.
