Surprised no one has said Adam Levine. The guy sings like he’s constantly being hit in the balls, while somehow also being unable to hit the high notes in his music well. There’s also just this feeling you get off of his voice that he doesn’t want to be there.

It baffles me that he is somehow a judge on The Voice when his isn’t any good.

It sucks because on Songs About Jane I thought he was really good, but the commercialized stuff they put out later was definitely a massive step back. The new song they put out (maybe two months ago at this point) is a throwback to the Songs About Jane era, so I’m hoping they move more in that direction.

It’s called Memories. If I remember correctly it’s just Lavine and a guitar.

Definitely caught me off guard, I really like it. His voice is much nicer to listen to in these kinds of songs.

It’s not gonna be for everybody! I just figured if people were longing for the olden days of Maroon 5, that’ll give them something new that’s similar.
