Maroon 5 is set to make a triumphant return to the music scene. During a lively appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, frontman Adam Levine shared thrilling news about the band’s upcoming projects. Levine confirmed that fans can look forward to a new album, along with an exciting tour planned for later this year.

As the conversation unfolded, host Jimmy Fallon brought up the swirling rumors regarding a potential new Maroon 5 song or album. Levine eagerly replied, “I can confirm the rumors are true. It’s true. The rumors are correct,” much to the delight of the audience. This announcement marks a significant moment for the band, which has been relatively quiet since their last release.

When Fallon pressed for further details, Levine offered some tantalizing tidbits without revealing too much. “There are details. I cannot divulge all the details. But the details are basically, roughly, there’s a single coming at the end of the month-ish. I’m really excited about it. An album is coming over the summer—non-specifically around the summertime. And then, even more non-specifically, there is a tour coming in the fall-ish,” he explained, teasing fans with just enough information to keep their anticipation high.

In addition to discussing the band’s future, Levine took a moment to reflect on his creative journey, particularly his collaboration with renowned producer Benny Blanco. This partnership was a turning point in Maroon 5’s writing career, especially with the hit song “Moves Like Jagger.” Levine described Blanco as “fun” and “hilarious,” and credited him with encouraging him to explore songwriting outside of the band’s traditional boundaries. “He kind of convinced me to write music away from the band. Because I had only kept it in the band before, so we’d never had outside writers on any of that stuff,” Levine recalled.

He reminisced about how Blanco played him some of the tracks that would later become hits, including “Stereo Hearts” and “Moves Like Jagger.” “I was like, ‘Oh, this is a lot of fun,’” Levine said, expressing how new energy in the creative process invigorated him. “And funnily enough, now I’ve kind of gone back to writing and shutting everybody out. But Benny was the first guy that got me to kind of think outside of the band,” he concluded, highlighting the significant impact this collaboration had on his artistic development.

The news of Maroon 5’s upcoming album is especially exciting considering the release of their last LP, Jordi, which came out in 2021. This album featured a diverse array of collaborations, including guest appearances from artists such as Megan Thee Stallion, Stevie Nicks, H.E.R., and YG. The album’s singles, “Memories” and “Nobody’s Love,” showcased the band’s continued evolution within the music industry. However, critiques from publications like Rolling Stone labeled it as “downright elegiac,” suggesting that while the album was poignant, it may have benefited from a lighter touch amidst its serious themes.

With the promise of a new single, album, and tour on the horizon, fans are left eagerly awaiting what Maroon 5 has in store for them. The band’s ability to blend pop, rock, and R&B continues to resonate with audiences, and their upcoming projects are sure to create a buzz in the music world.
