Background and production

In 2012, Maroon 5 released their fourth studio album Overexposed. The record was released during a time of commercial momentum for the band following the success of "Moves like Jagger" (recorded with Christina Aguilera), a single which lead singer Adam Levine credited as having "revived the group", [5] and the album's lead single, "Payphone", which became both a critical and commercial success. [6] Overexposed was described by the band as their "most poppiest [sic] record to date", with critics giving the album mixed reviews upon its release. [7]

V was recorded by the band at Conway Studios in downtown Los Angeles, California, over a year-long period from 2013 through to mid 2014. [8] The recording sessions for V saw the band's keyboardist Jesse Carmichael return to the band after a two-year hiatus, which saw him absent during the recording and promotion for Overexposed. [9] The album also features a collaboration with Gwen Stefani called "My Heart Is Open", [10] co-written with Australian singer Sia. Guitarist James Valentine stated that the band had known Sia for a long time and working with her was "really cool". [11]

Artwork

The album cover for V was created by South Korean photographer Lee Jung. [12] It features a 1.3m neon lighted crosstube formed in the shape of the roman numeral for five, the title of the album. [13] The red neon display is placed in front of a reservoir in the Gyeonggi Province, [12] with mountains in the background. The Maroon 5 logo appears out of focus in the background as a sign perched on the side of the mountain, similar to the famous Hollywood Sign. [14] An alternate cover for the album was created by Indonesian graphic designer Bayo Gale (who won the band's alternate album cover art contest). [15] It features the tiger's face with a shape of the letter V with a vertex at the bottom and the Maroon 5 logo.

Release and promotion

Departing from then-active A&M Octone Records, the band signed with its related label, Interscope Records [16] and frontman Levine's record label 222 Records to release the album.

[18] Through a signed contract with Live Nation, the band had also announced that they are also set to embark on a world tour in late 2014 through to early 2015 in support of V. [8] The artwork for V was unveiled through a series of five puzzle piece clues released daily through the band's Facebook page from July 17 through to July 21. [19] [20] After the series was completed, the album's artwork, in addition to its track listing, were unveiled on July 21, 2014. [21] The album also includes a limited-edition of ZinePak. [22] Moreover, to promote the album, Maroon 5 performed at the iHeartRadio Theater in Burbank, California on August 26, 2014 [23] and on The Today Show (as part of the Toyota concert series) at Rockefeller Plaza in New York City, New York on September 1.

V received generally mixed reviews upon its release. On Metacritic, V received a weighted average score of 55/100 based on 12 reviews, indicating "mixed or average reviews". [33] In a four-star review, Jon Dolan of Rolling Stone called the songs "precision-tuned and lustrously polished, jammed with hooks and choruses that build a man cave in your brain." [41] Brian Mansfield of USA Today gave the album two and a half stars out of four, remarking the album was "easy to digest and contains all sorts of flavors while still being its own thing." [42] In an 86 out of 100 review for Billboard , Brad Wete argued the album "reveals that their foundation has not been removed." [36] Writing on behalf of AllMusic, Stephen Thomas Erlewine rated the album three and a half stars out of five, praising the band for "[embracing] the tuneful, slightly soulful adult contemporary pop band they've always been". [34]

In a mixed review, Kyle Anderson of Entertainment Weekly graded the album a C, suggesting Levine's songwriting didn't "live up to his ability to work a crowd." [1] Writing for The Guardian, Tim Jonze gave the album two out of five stars, dismissing it as "evidence as to why most people can't remember a Maroon 5 song two seconds after it finishes." [37] In a two star review from The Observer , Theo Leanse called the album "a gaudy chunk of over-produced electro-pop-rock", but noted its accessibility, saying it "flips a smug V-sign at us, knowing we'll never free its singles from our skulls." [2] But, Kathy Iandoli of Idolator gave the album 4 out of 5 stars and called the album "lives up to that formula of big songs while never faltering, for better or for worse". [38]

Evan Rytlewski gave a C+ review on behalf of The A.V. Club commenting the band "stayed hip", but only by "furnishing a too-perfect, soundstage ideal of whatever the kids are into these days." [35] In the New York Daily News , Jim Farber criticized the hooks on the album for being "so annoying, you won't be able to scrub them from your mind." [39] Annie Galvin delivered a 5/10 review for PopMatters stating, "As far as lightweight, easy-listening charts pop goes, V doesn't totally offend the sensibilities, and that's surely more than can be said about some of Maroon 5's overly pandering, less exploratory 'pop-rock' peers." [40]

Commercial performance

In the United States, the album debuted at number one on the Billboard 200, with first week sales of 164,000 copies [43] and earned their second US number-one album and their first since 2007's It Won't Be Soon Before Long . As of August 2015, it has sold over one million copies in the US. [44]

In Canada, the album also debuted at number one on the Canadian Albums Chart, with 15,000 copies sold for the week. [45] In its second week, the album remained at number one with 7,700 copies. [46]
