Billboard has confirmed that Maroon 5 will release their forthcoming Hands All Over on September 21st. The group will hit the road beginning July 30 in NY. Concert goers will be in for a treat because Maroon 5 will preview several songs from the upcoming album. For Hands All Over, Maroon 5 worked with producer Mutt Lange. Lunge has produced songs for Shania Twain, AC/DC and Nickleback.
Adam Levine on working with Matt Lange for Hands All Over:
“I like to say he descended from the sky in a cloud of smoke and said, ‘I want to produce this record,’ ’cause that’s kind of what happened,” explains Levine, who credits the Lange-produced Def Leppard albums as some of his earliest musical inspirations. “He keeps to himself and doesn’t necessarily come out of the woodwork unless he really wants to work on something. And he’s an amazing guy. He thinks huge; he wants to reach everybody in every country. He doesn’t want to dumb things down, but he wants to make things understandable and accessible.
“And we don’t think about things like that. I just think about how I’m feeling at any particular moment or what I want to express musically. So I think he took this music and really magnified it bigger than it ever could have been before.”
