Almost Untitled

Their first album rocks almost all lovers of music when they’ve been introduce on the second half of the year 2002. Their “Songs about Jane” won several awards and was a major hit success (gold, platinum and even triple platinum.. whew!). Listeners were going ga-ga with their debut singles including “She will be love” and “This Love”. We cannot deny that until now, these songs were gleefully being sung. But what strikes me most are the songs “Sunday Morning”, “Must Get Out” and “Harder To Breathe”.

But seriously, on the late week of March of last year I heard this jammy song on the radio. You know, I am this fanatic of Jam 88.3 and heard “Makes Me Wonder” being played. Actually I heard the DJ saying that the artist were Maroon 5 & Avril Lavigne and take note that I have no lyrics that have memorized except for the words “I don’t believe in you.. anymore, anymore” and the tune. The next day, I searched for the words/lyrics and the artists but found nothing. Tried the combination of the words/lyrics and Avril Lavigne.. none. Finally, when I searched for the words/lyrics with Maroon 5, voila! At last. Unfortunately, it was not yet available anywhere around the net, maybe. Then they released their second album “I Won’t Be Soon Before Long” on May 2007.

The second album was inspired by eighties (80s) artist such as Michael Jackson and Prince. Rhythmic yet sexy. Included are the songs like “Makes Me Wonder” and “Wake Up Call”. My personal favorites are “Not Falling Apart”, “Goodnight, Goodnight”, “Won’t Go Home Without You” and “Kiwi”. But to rate the whole album? Its package? Unique style and voice, not to mention the band members? Gosh! 5 biggie stars .

Not only with these albums, they also released some limited album hits — 1.22.03.Acoustics which was recorded live on the date included in the given title; Love Actually Movie released their OST which includes their hits “Sunday Morning” and “Sweetest Goodbye” and still they have recorded other albums.

For the first time. Maroon 5 will be on tour - Live in Manila on March 5, 2008 at Araneta Coliseum. Geesh. I definitely want to have one of their tickets and gone cheek to cheek with their lead vocalist, Adam. Price talks. Ahm, will left you, me, us broke for a month. Anyway, check out their price listings.
