The Aaliyah record had come about then, and we were blown away. When I am about writing to think of songs that I think of the Beatles, Dylan, Simon & Garfunkel, the things that I'm grown up, but then I thought, 'Would I want to do this. "Stevie Wonder came into my life at that time," say Levine , "and I just got a talent for it."I began to sing in a different way," he said told VH1, "and Jesse started playing keyboard, which is what has changed." When the duo hooked back with Madden in Los Angeles and summarily Dusick were enhanced by the addition of a touch of rock R & B, groove & roll-based explosives. With the new musical in the sense came a new name, Maroon 5 and a fifth member: guitarist James Valentine. "James came just as we called the decision", says Levine. It is clear that there are no flowers Kara, with the addition of James and an entirely new approach to music. On the other hand, if the name of a band, if you are 15 years from the time we're 23, it is probably not as a set. "Enriched quickly with a new attitude, a new sound and a new name, Maroon 5's attention from labels. Octone Records, a new independent label in New York (Octone is a co-marketing partner risk J Records / RCA Music Group), signed the group, and in 2001 Maroon 5 into the studio with producer Matt Wallace (The Replacements, Faith No More, Blues Traveler). "I was all to do what a hardcore, straight-up, funk, R & B album," recalls Levine. "I have to give the people Octone credit because they really wanted to do.

Of course I have little to complain about, but I thought I was finished with the album. Turned out for the better because I was bothered that he is "This Love" and "Harder To Breathe", which has written the first two tracks on the album. "
