‘Hands All Over’ is the highly anticipated third album from the Grammy winning act and incorporates rock, pop, funk and R’n’B in the band’s inimitable chart friendly style.
Maroon 5 began writing the songs that appear on ‘Hands All Over’ after winding down from a world tour in support of their 2007 Number 1 album ‘It Won’t Be Soon Before Long’, the follow up to their 2004 Number 1 debut ‘Songs About Jane’. Several months later, the band received a phone call from legendary AC/DC and The Cars producer Lange, who had heard that the band were beginning to write a new album, and expressed an interest in producing it.
“We didn’t even talk to anyone else,” says frontman Adam Levine. “Mutt is undeniably one of the most successful producers who’s ever lived.”
“Mutt really helped us play to the best of our ability. And it drove us to be bigger and better than ever,” adds keyboardist Jesse Carmichael.
The result is ‘Hands All Over’, a monumental record recorded at Lange’s Switzerland studio and one chock full of buoyant, unforgettable melodies. Starting with the hard-rocking title track, the album’s 12 songs 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 ‘Don’t Know Much About That’’s classic soulful vibe.
