This honest and heartfelt visual was directed by David Dobkin, and it takes us to Malibu. It shows the members of the band recording new music together, working things out by each other’s side, and enjoying some time outdoors with Adam Levine’s wife Behati Prinsloo, and daughters Dusty Rose and Gio Grace.

“We wanted to let the lyrics tell the story and message, and allow the visuals to connect to the audience in a very personal and human way… The creative was to focus on the band –together – through a series of documentary-like images and vignettes,” Levine told People.

“Middle Ground” is Maroon 5 first new song in almost two years, since the release of their seventh studio album Jordi in 2021, which produced singles “Memories”, “Nobody’s Love”, and “Beautiful Mistakes” ft. Megan Thee Stallion.

The band was mostly busy with live performances in the wake of its release, including the world tour last year, their Las Vegas residency and a concert at the pyramids of Giza in Cairo this year, and the upcoming tour across Europe in June and July.

The futuristic video shows Adam Levine and Megan Thee Stallion taking a psychedelic trip through Los Angeles in a pink convertible. The flying vehicle takes the duo to some of the city’s top landmarks, including Randy’s Donuts and the Hollywood Sign.

Levine previously discussed the band’s collaboration with Megan Thee Stallion with Apple Music’s Zane Lowe. He praised the rapper for her versatility and showing the new side of herself in this song.

“The way she built her part was just, it couldn’t have been a more epic kind of climax for the song. I mean, it really is absolutely perfect. So, I mean, what she did was just miraculous, and it brought the song to a whole new level,” said the Maroon 5 frontman.

“Beautiful Mistakes” is expected to be featured on the band’s seventh studio album. This record still doesn’t have a title or a release date, but it will likely feature previously released singles “Memories” and “Nobody’s Love”.

The most intriguing entry on the list is Bruno Mars and Anderson .Paak’s supergroup Silk Sonic and their first single “Leave the Door Open.” The song is well crafted with an amazing retro-vibe that’ll keep you going for weeks.

After speculation earlier this month when the Grammy-winning band posted behind-the-scenes shots of the music video on their Instagram story, Maroon 5 confirmed the rumors on social media.

Maroon 5 and Megan Thee Stallion’s “WAP” collaborate Cardi B made chart history with “Girl Like You”.

It was also the longest-running No. 1 song on Billboard’s Radio Songs chart, staying on top for nine weeks and it was the longest-running No. 1 song by a group on Billboard’s Adult Contemporary radio airplay chart, topping it for 23 weeks.

Lead singer of Maroon 5, Adam Levine, recently collaborated with Jason Derulo on “Lifestyle”. Last week, the song debuted at No. 95 on the Billboard Hot 100.

Megan Thee Stallion is nominated for four Grammys, including best new artist and record of the year.

But leave he did, and as he told Ellen DeGeneres on her talk show, it had a lot to do with his desire to spend more time with his young daughters Gio Grace and Dusty Rose, ages 3 and 1 respectively.

“I really do miss it,” Levine said about The Voice. “I love the people that I met and worked with.” But according to him, the amount of work was just too much for him to juggle with his desire to spend more time with his family.

“I do miss it but I don’t miss how much I had to work. I was constantly working for so many years — very lucky, very fortunate, very bless and all that — but  to just be able to stop in this moment to spend time with my new young family and just have the greatest time ever. Now I’m a stay-at-home dad. I just stay at home and do very little.”

But don’t worry, Levine still intends to pursue his work with Maroon 5. In fact, he told Ellen there’s a new tour in sight, and we’ll be sure to give you more details as they become available!

Big Boi’s addition means Atlanta’s rich hip-hop legacy will be represented at this year’s event, taking place at Atlanta’s Mercedes-Benz Stadium on February 3. Most people know this artist as member of American hip hop duo Outkast, alongside André 3000.

This year’s Super Bowl halftime show has been described as “music’s least-wanted gig” after several high-profile artists refused to perform out of solidarity with former NFL star Colin Kaepernick.

Many artists even urged Travis Scott to reject the offer after it was announced he’ll be taking part in this event. Scott stood his ground and agreed to perform under one condition – he asked NFL to make a joint donation to an organization fighting for social justice.

“I know being an artist that it’s in my power to inspire. So before confirming the Super Bowl Halftime performance, I made sure to partner with the NFL on this important donation. I am proud to support Dream Corps and the work they do that will hopefully inspire and promote change,” explained Scott.

More than 300,000 people are expected to visit sin city on Monday to watch the city’s famous eight minutes of fireworks. At the Park casino resort park, celebrations already started on Friday, with Lady Gaga leading performances.

Not so far away, Maroon 5 will be performing at The Mandalay Bay Events Center while veteran Celine Dion will part of the artists performing at the Caesars Palace. Gwen Stefani of Hollaback Girl will perform at the Zappos Theater while J. Cole and the Chainsmokers will be live at nearby casinos. Katy Perry J.LO and Bruno Mars will also been in Vegas to welcome the New Year.

While there will be similar celebrations countrywide, Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority believe that nothing can top Nevada’s New Year Celebrations.

“The city continues to evolve itself. We never run out of things to do,” Jacqueline Peterson, an official from the visitors authority said.

Like it’s the tradition, hotel rooms in Las Vegas are usually booked at this time of the year. Anyone planning to visit the city to watch stars perform may have to act fast.

Scott agreed to perform at the upcoming show on February 3, alongside Maroon 5 who will headline the event. Sources close to the Super Bowl organizers claim another three guests will join them on stage, but these rumors are yet to be confirmed.

The National Football League struggled to find performers to fill the slots this year. Rihanna was one of the artists who turned down their offer to headline the halftime show in support of Colin Kaepernick, who was blacklisted for kneeling during the national anthem.

Several fellow rappers, including Jay-Z and Meek Mill, reportedly got in touch with Travis Scott and tried to talk him out of performing, as well. Something similar happened when Maroon 5’s involvement made the headlines in September.

Even if Scott eventually back out, it won’t change the fact that 2018 has beenan amazing year for him. His album Astroworld debuted atop of US Billboard 200, he got his first no. 1 single with Sicko Mode, and received three Grammy nods – including best rap album of the year.
