Maroon 5 & Rhianna - June
2008 Another day, another big-name artist
gearing up to promote an album re-release with a big, shiny
music video. Only this time it's different: It's two
big-name artists. At the same time.
On Wednesday, Maroon 5 and Rihanna joined forces on a Los
Angeles soundstage to film a video for a remake of "If I Never
See Your Face Again" — originally the lead track on M5's 2007
effort, It Won't Be Soon Before Long — which will appear
on reissues of both artists' albums.
"We're both re-releasing our albums — mine's out June 17,"
Rihanna told MTV News. "This is the only collaboration on my
re-release, because I always wanted to work with Maroon 5.
They're one of my favorite bands. When they called me to do
this record with them, I was so honored."
"The song was basically done, but we wanted to try something
different, so we had her come in and do bits and pieces,"
Maroon 5 frontman Adam Levine added. "It came together so
quick. The only other collaboration I had done before was with
Kanye, and it was the same way. It sounds cheesy, but if the
magic is there, if the chemistry is there, you don't even have
to think about it."
Maroon 5 on iTunes in Soho - March
2008 Three-time Grammy winning act Maroon 5
brought a few hundred of their closest friends to the Apple
Store in New York City’s Soho area for a rare and intimate
performance. The band wowed the packed-house crowd with
stunning renditions of every track from platinum-plus-selling
new album It Won’t Be Soon Before Long, and beginning today,
six of that evening’s most electrifying moments are available
on an exclusive iTunes Live from Soho EP.
Maroon 5: Live from Soho captures the quintet
(vocalist/guitarist Adam Levine, guitarist James Valentine,
keyboardist Jesse Carmichael, bassist Mickey Madden and drummer
Matt Flynn) tearing through new hit single "If I Never See Your
Face Again" and recent Grammy-winning lead track "Makes Me
Wonder," smash hits "Wake Up Call," and "Won’t Go Home Without
You," along with fan favorites "Little Of Your Time" and
"Nothing Lasts Forever."
The band will be performing these hits and more on
their upcoming co-headlining summer tour with Counting Crows
and opener Sara Bareilles. The much-anticipated road show
launches July 25th at the Verizon Wireless Virginia Beach
Amphitheater in Virginia Beach, VA.
Fans who purchase Maroon 5: Live from Soho between March 25
